It's a fun time--would like to organize some like-minded boatpeople to show the Mikelson crew that you don't have to have a million dollar yacht to have fun---BUT, if you do have a million dollar yacht--let's party!!

sounds like fun...what did you have in mind? offshore, raftup, etc.?

[albieback]

wow..time flies along..sorry not getting back to you--Here's the dealio---We'll have my dad's 52 ft Californian CPMY for the flagship---he's (pops)old but he has a good time---I'm going to have my 25 ft cruiser-- raft up is IN Glorietta Bay, Coronado (San Diego)---There are usually a couple a hundred boats..including the largest Mikelson Raft-up I've ever seen...

Years prior have had the SEAL teams invading and blowing the $$$$ out of the beach w/ lots of pyrotechnics---and a mock gun battle with an old school vietnam river boat--HOWEVER--they've cancelled that due to ?? We'll see about that this year... BUT, they bring in the barge for a very personal fireworks show---

I know there are not many of us (2?) on the BEST coast on this site---Perhaps we can get a raft-up.com raft-up going??

I will specifically work on growing this forum. Any postings you can do in other froums will help grow the site as well. Thanks for your efforts out there!

Sounds like fun. Anyone know where I can drop my boat in? I'm in the UCV area. Where can I find a map of the place you'll be? Any help will be great!

[albieback]

for a general looksie...http://www.thebigbay.com/about/map.asp...a more detailed map try SD bay navigation map in a search?

G-bay is # 35 locale

Not sure where UCV (University City??) is?

give me some more info, and I'll let you know the best place to drop...if you're familiar w/ SD---Shelter Island ramp (maybe #5 on the map), or National City boat ramp (not sure if it's on that map) is more towards the south bay (actually a closer run to G-bay)...if this weather can hold out it will be a blast!!

my name is Rich--get back to me if you're interested in having a good party on the water with us!

[claytonam1]

Thanks for the map Rich. I'll try and put a plan together for this weekend.

[cheap thrills]

i want to help advertise this event, im bringing my 18 ft fish & ski , i know its small but were bringing the party for sure. so is it at glorietta bay by the bring and golf course, please let me know what time the festivities will start

[albieback]

from the info I've gathered it seems the SEAL demonstration is dead...So, Fireworks are scheduled for 9:00 pm. I will, if everything goes as planned, be hooking up in the afternoon on the 3rd---don't have a clue as to the crowd (due to midweek 4th), but I hope to find some room for the 52 CPMY---name is Blue Orchid. I won't be bringing my 25 as my pops is heading to tahoe for the holiday...and me and the fam (wife/daughter 6) + friends will be enjoying the festivities on the flagship (o:---Party gets going when the sun pops

bring water balloons/HD squirt guns/cooler full of drink--I'll try to monitor 16---but my cell (if I hear it) is 619-931-9862--My name is Rich--feel free to hit me up in the next couple of days.

I also have a tender to transport friends/fam to Coronado Shore---but it gets frickin packed early around there(parking wise)--alright---Out!

ps. we have full genset capabilities...just in case you want to bring the blender!!

Rich,

We will be launching on Wed morning at Glorietta. I'll probly have several people meeting up with us. What's your capacity? I have room for 9 and will have a full boat. It's my first time in salt so give me some help on directions on where you'll be.
