Was a great weekend at the regatta. It was a small turn out, about 30-40 boats but the boats and peeps that were there were great. :cool:
Was perfect whether, except the wind picked up a bit FridayÂ…us lilÂ’ boaters were forced to hang in the channel. :frown:
PicÂ’s will be posted when they come back from the developer.
Saw the “Never Forget” boat cruising the channel…very nice…some guy scooted through the bridge in some psycho 35 footer…talk about “bucks” I thought there was a size limit on the lake… :confused:
Any way, no drama, no one hurt (that I know of) a good laid back crowdÂ…Just the way itÂ’s suppose to be! :D

We had a great time, too! I will post some pics tonight when I get a chance.
It was fun meeting people from the boards as well as other Carrera owners. Looking forward to seeing the helicopter pictures! :D

Did he get close or what!
Pretty cool doing the photo-runs for each boatÂ…I was impressed. :D

It was nice to see JokersWild to such a nice job for you guys. Be sure and call Dennis and tell him how much fun you had. Better, contact Jeff, he owns the place.

Mrs4-B's pic's are great. They show the cove where we did the Ariel group photo and did the individual speed run photos with the helicopter. :rollside:
As you can see, the bulk of the CarreraÂ’s there were beautiful 80+ thousand dollar glassed cats. And VeeÂ’s The oldest Carrera there was a 1985 that was a clean completely re-done 19-20 (?) footer with a huge blown motor in it and the smallest was a lilÂ’ 1990 closed bow outboard that ran in the mid 70mph range! You could really see the evolution of Carrera boats as well as the whole boating industry. :)
Joker’s Wild crew did a great job putting the event together. There were many nice gifts like a wakeboard, color TV’s, DVD players and including 2 mountain bikes and 2 “stingray” type bikes for the lil’ peeps too ! :smile:
My poker hand absolutely sucked (pair of stupid 5Â’s) but the top 3 hands earned their owners some nice cash adding up to a thousand dollars. :wink:
I was sad to hear that the stereo contest was cancelled (some legal thing to do with site 6) I hear some Carrera owner who was there had 18 grand put into his tunesÂ… :frown:
I hope to see some of the other “Regatta Runners” post their pics and comments as well. I hope to post some photos in the next few days.
On a side note: I have had the pleasure of attending other RegattaÂ’s from other boat manufactures and they all seemed to be as equal to the task in putting on a fun weekend, regattas are a kick in the hull. :D
