What is the idle zone situation between where you are putting in and peanut island?

**olmo40** · 08-29-2009, 06:33 PM

Will head that way ,but we will be behind you a bit ,probably 11am ish ,Look out for a White 30 Skater , 2 x 250xs Mercs .What boat will you be in ? A Pantere i assume ?

Aim at 9:30 (or you name the time)--do you launch at the ramp north of Linton, or are you on the water? My cell # is in my signature. I will plan to be on the road 45 mins to an hour before launch time.

Short day for me--play a little, go back to do chores at home - I am thinking about doing the big run the Stuart group is setting up next Sunday.

Not Bad, there are about 4 short idle zones, the rest we run 40-50, with some blasts up higher, just watc for the cops, speed limit is 35 I believe.

I believe we have seen you up that way before. We have a Purple 24 Pantera, and a Red 26 American Offshore cat, we beach along the west side of the island, look for us up that way.

Pat,

Yes, that is Knowles Park, North of Linton. 9:30 is probably about right. I assume you'll be in an Eliminator? I hear ya on the short day, probably rain later anyway. Heres my cell. 954-254-0414.

my first time stopping at Peanut Island, and probably the first time running in much of that part of the ICW since the Gold Coast Marathon in 1965 or so. Cool water, lots of sights, great conversation. We've got to do it again!

And yes, great meeting you, Ray and Mike!

Nick--sorry we missed you--I kinda cut things short because I had plants to plant if I wanted to keep playing with my toy.

Rick--what happened? Was it you with the shift issue? After Two Georges?
Did Ray have to tow you in?

And--did the Dude at the ramp try to sell you his Dad's WWII medals too?

**Xray** · 08-31-2009, 04:46 AM

Was a pleasure meeting you Pat. I'm sure we'll run together again.

Yeah,

Was me, got on plane south of 2 georges, and no noise or anything, just lost power. When I was cleaning the boat, I noticed the prop is locked in gear, but motor just revs

Sure hope its in the lower somewhere, and I didnt rip the splines out of the crank, we will tear it down tonight and try to figure it out. Ray towed me back, Thank buddy, and I owe you a towrope

Here are the first 3 videos, next time I should clean the saltwater off the lens

I will load the last 2 tonight, I think they are better since i wiped the lens up at Peanut.

Hey Pat,
Yeah we were running late. Nicholas my middle son had to put his carbs back together and wire in a new bilge pump. I made him do it. We got there about 2:30. I was surprised the weather held up all day. I only got one race from a guy in an old stream with an old merc. R u coming to River Ranch?
