Boat Parade raft up locale

Let's get chatting early this week on the raft up local for the boat parade. Somebody pick a spot and time and let's all do some recruiting to try to get a minimum of ten boats and five members without boats as hitchhikers. I want to drink some beer!!! C'mon now.

I am planning on going but have no idea where to anchor. I will be launching for John U Llyod park and heading north from there. My concern is I have heard conflicting reports as to when the channel is closed, some say 4 pm and some say 5:30. When and where are you dropping the hook and firing up the blender???

Re: Boat Parade raft up locale

I know the parade is scheduled to start at 6:30 pm. Admin, a little help on the details please. You always seem to be up on this stuff.

I am suggesting a raftup location around the fort lauderdale yacht club. I think somebody earlier in a different post and thread had a google earth map of this location.

Re: Boat Parade raft up locale

Here is a map from the Sun-Sentinel. My recommendation would be to get there no later than 4 (The earlier the better) and anchor either in front of the Lauderdale Yacht Club, or inside The Triangle. Chris's prior posts show graphics of both of these images. Details are at www.winterfestparade.com. I hope this helps.

Re: Boat Parade raft up locale

I will be there probably around 4. I am thinking near the near river or Lauderdale Yacht Club. It will most likely be my wife and 3-4 friends from Ft Lauderdale. If anyone is interested in meeting up let me know and I will get you my cell number, I think VHF comms will be a disaster.

I will be in a 19' Sea Pro with a Maroon bimini and the grill going.

Re: Boat Parade raft up locale

I will be there as well. I will get your phone number later this week. Trying to fill up my boat as well with adults, should not be too hard.

Re: Boat Parade raft up locale

Here is my Google shot. In the red box is where my crew usually hangs out. Feel free to come tie up if you see us. We are going to try to drop the hook by 4 o clock.

Looks like a great spot. I will get your number this week as well. Count me in your raft-up.

Re: Boat Parade raft up locale

Kind of off topic but....does anyone have a blender??? I have a smaller one (that damn magic bullet infomercial one) and I am trying to get an inverter for it, but don't know what size I need. Gave it a shot with a 480 watt one and it was fine when empty, but as soon as you loaded it up the inverter would trip. Think 800 watts would be enough?
