I worked the Beer tent at the air show back in 1985 as a Lance Coconut. My daughter was born at the Cherry Point Hospital that year too.

Sounds like fun, i miss Atlantic Beach! Semper fi!

Haha, Lance Coconut--have not heard that in a while. Nowadays you would get charged with harassment or bullying.

I launch from Merchants(near my house).
But most launch from Lawson creek park at the far end ramp.

Not sure what time i am heading out yet..
If anyone is heading out late they can always meet up where we end up rafting up.

@Neutron, very funny! Lol! I have never actually been to the show. My brother mentioned it to me and we were thinking it would be cool to try and see it from the water but we really don't know if there will be anything to see or where the best spot would be. We are both used to watching the Baltimore show, and that takes place entirely over the harbor. We will try our best to get out on Saturday, but I have a lot going on with the kitchen remodel. :-(

Yep I've been out of Lawson Creek before. Kids soccer should be over around 1030, which means the earliest I'm in the water is 1 pm. Let me know where you all plan on rafting up.

I want to do this so bad. Sounds like an awesome day.

 

[Neutron]

Not sure yet what time we are heading out. Depends on how late i sleep in.....
May head to Bakers Kitchen for breakfast

I never made it up there. Stayed in the New River inlet and went out to Onslow Beach to see some friends.
