Unless something comes up, I'll plan on being there. Don't know if I'll meet at the Port 'O Blarney with everyone else or come up the river from Port Barrington. Hopefully I won't hit any more crap in the river.

And not being a smart ass but you mean Stratton Lock and Dam right? Used to be Mchenry Dam?
New maps have it as Stratton for the out of towners.

aircraftman
05-29-2003, 08:43 AM
yeah i think its stratton now. i call it the mchenry dam. its just south of the bull valley bridge.

you can walk out 50 feet in front of the park and its 4 -5 ft deep.

right off of our piers its 4 foot deep. not many real shallow spots.

we have several piers to tie up to or you can beach them at the park or let em float with an anchor in front of the park. the bottom is muddy sand.

Thanks for the offer but I am in the middle of a 3week Honeydo list getting ready for Kory's Wedding reception and the boss says the only way I can go is to work on the yard Wed. night and leave Thur early.
I will just see you at the Island Thur night.

Thanks a bunch for the offer, we will do it again this year when I have more time.

This guy is speaking from SHEER IGNORANCE and probably bitches about everything his neighbors do also. you probably call the police cuz your neighbors dog **** in your yard.

Doin good aint got no end and your real name is Jesus Christ also i suppose.

the people on this site are respectable and do nothing short of promoting safe boating. noone wants to get hur,t and who would want to have a death hanging on their consience. not any of us!! WE PLAIN WONT BE UNSAFE BECAUSE WE CANT!!!!!
