[ZiemerSTV]

The Alva runs are always fun. Sorry to say that we will be in Georgia for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and will not be able to make it. The old red and black STV will be parked in Punta Gorda and thank goodness it made it through all the hurricanes.

[1BadAction]

Sorry to hear that ziemer- I was looking forward to seeing everyone again.

[Airboater]

Looks like a no go for me ,to much work to finish the motor and no time to do it thanks to Willma.

[not her idea]

So will the meeting place be west of the Alva boat ramp?

I will be there in a Wellcraft w/175 Rude and a Grey bimini. Just as a spectator-

[RACEBOATRUS.ONE]

it is bound to be a great time... also please be reminded that the next week is...........................The 2005 Toys For Tots Tour
It is a gain time to get out that boat to do some good things. This year the 2005 Toys for Tots tour will take place on December 3. This unique event is the worlds only boating Toys for Tots Tour. It is tremendous fun and puts some nice gifts in the hands of some deserving children. .
This event will take place on Dec 3rd at Hickory Point Park in Lake County. Hickory Point Park is on H-way 19 on the shore of lake Harris between Howey in the Hills and Tavares. There will be a pre-tour briefing at 12:00 noon. We encourage all participants to meet early in the day to enjoy lunch and a pretour gathering at the Hickory Point Pavilions. Bring a covered dish a good appetite an unwrapped toy or gift and that great attitude with a big smile.
The in water tour will start at 1:00 pm [13:00 hours]. Previous to 1:00pm we would like the participating boats to be all gathered at one side of the H-way 19 bridge and exactly 1;00 o’clock a signal will be given showing that is 1:00 o’clock and the tour is to start. Please note that this is not a race or a mad speed dash. There are no set speed limits on these lakes and all participants should use the utmost care to assure that event is safe for all concerned. The tour will proceed across lake Harris through the Dead River Canal and the across Lake Eustis to the City Dock right in Down Town Eustis.

Russ, just a bit wrong of you to promote your event on this thread, don't you think?

Greg

[RACEBOATRUS.ONE]

Ok thanks for the input you can delete it if you so desire ... will we be seeinig you at the Toys Tour? ..... I do not mean to be in bad taste:

[Scream And Fly]

It's alright, Russ. I just think it's more respectful to the people organizing this. Of course, I would give you the same courtesy as well.

I would like to attend, but due to an illness in my family most of my schedule is tentative...

Greg
