CT River Run / Pizza Party / Foliage Tour 2015

[Rich Owen]

We are going boating once again !
Want to come ?
Want some pizza ?

As most of you know (3rd Sunday in Oct ) Oct 18 is the date .

Important !!!
Because of the actions of some people there will be a heavy Police/DEEP/Coast Guard presence all along the river this year There were MANY complaints last year about No Wake Zone violations .

Also at the beach we need to keep 1/2 the river clear for general navigation . There will be officers there to advise you . Authorities will be monitoring this thread so if you have any questions just ask .

Launch where you want (Pete be posting a list of sites from Old Saybrook north to Hartford) and we will meet at a beach (just north of the Rocky Hill Ferry) at noon for pizza . We'll head north to Hartford around 2 pm and then back to wherever you launched from .

PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE ATTENDING ( and how many with you ) BY OCT. 16 SO I KNOW HOW MUCH PIZZA TO ORDER .
IF YOU DO NOT CALL , EMAIL OR TEXT ME PLEASE BE PREPARED TO SUPPLY YOUR OWN FOOD .
You can contact me at northernlights1@sbcglobal.net or 860-214-1667 .
Pizza proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

I will be adding info to this post soon .
Feel free to ask questions via PM , email , or phone .

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

[transomstand]

Please keep in mind the river is a navigable waterway, and you cannot anchor in the channel. It must be kept clear for all vessel traffic.

Leave room so larger vessels can pass
