Sounds like it could happen, HDG is closer (2 hours) for me, but we love Anna. I wonder if she's in for a... Never mind. I talked to Derranged earlier and he brought up a good point...availibility of rooms. We are talking about a major holiday travel weekend. Who is doing the research?

Why don't you guys come to Williamsport, PA.....We have 10 miles of smooth Susquehanna River behind a new dam and water levels are always perfect. No speed or noise restrictions either...Mike.

God Damn, VISA loves me. I have to be supporting the whole staff single handedly. lmao I'm booked. I will have to see what the wife's work schedule looks like, but so far its a GO!!! Soaker, can we crank that baby to 700+ feet or so? I hate to sound greedy, but if we can go higher, even for a short trip, I would love to go up again.

Get a real long rope and go to 10,000 feet. I will bring a mask and you can breathe the goofy gas from Dreamsicles boat. eek!
I think Nitro has been to 10,000 a couple times. I think it must have done some brain damage!!!!!!!! wink

Hammer - have you checked out Charlstown ramp ? It's around the corner from the sandbar and cost is $5 - been told it's a fairly nice ramp.
I was told to take 272, across 40 to first light make a right go a miles or so to a sign that says Charlestown, make a left, go into Charlestown and you'll see the marina. :cool:

Well Im hooked up for Havre.... The people who work at Crystal Inn are DUMB!!!!!!
After about ten minutes the guy says are you talking about rooms for HDG....I said YES!!!!!!!! eek!
So if you call, tell them rooms for HDG!!!!!! wink

Wet Dream

I didn't have any problems, they asked my name and said ok, as a matter of fact, they have my "Half Dead" card on file.
I took the boat to the Regatta today. She got beat up pretty bad. You thought the waves were big at HDG?? hahaha Come play on these rivers, it increases the "Pucker Factor", especially when you have 6 people in the boat and every wave you hit feels like the top mold is going to come flying off from the stress. The place I docked at (concrete wall) tore up my rubrail along the "beam" of the boat, hit the wall a few times, minor but noticeable gel damage, broke the reverse cable. Try mildy guiding your boat into a "lock" with no reverse. :) I was glad to get her home. Gotta locate a new cable now.

This is the new toy to have. Its pulled up by the boat the same way as the parasail, but you reach whatever your line is set at (300' or so) and release the tow. It now becomes a glider. The two "footprints" on the bottom of the cage are flotation devices that act like skis in the water. You have a glide ratio of about 7:1. Pretty cool shit!!

http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Hot_Boat_Happenings/Regattas/Mvc-708f.JPGCool as sh*#, I use to Hang Glide in northern PA but my buddy sold the glider after college. I may have to look into this. What site did you get that photo from? I've seen folks towed up by a car but never by boat. Huh, gotta get more info. This is something you can't just jump on and try but I know an instructor who can work with anyone interested. Maybe I'll get one for next year's G2G in Havre.

I know a bunch of pontoon boat owners who aren't using their boats there because of the water level.

WD - Are you sure you want to try the hang gliding thing? It looks like it takes two hands. How are you going to drink your beer? :D See you all soon...KeithHaven't you seen those hats that have a holder on each side and have straws that go to the mouth??? :) That sounds like a plan to me.

Hey Wideopen,
How close are you to Claytor Lake? We are only 60 minutes away. Where do you go boating? What are you running etc.?
A good friend of mine runs Claytor all the time. He has a house in Coveys cove if you know where that is. Red jet boat 100+, easy to find.
