So the boating season is upon us.. We have had several new members in nc and va who have already been asking about an early season meet up... @AndyD and I have been talking about running from nutbush boat ramp in henderson nc at Kerr lake, up to clarksville va, eat lunch at the lamp lighter and then run back.. Its between and hour and an hour and a half one way. . No dates have been set yet but looking to do it the middle Of april or so.. Anyone else interested?
 
I may be tied up on the 28th and I am committed for a few hours on sat morning on the 14.. I prob coukd change that to sunday if i had too. How does the 21st sound to everyone?
 
I should be good for any weekend in Apr, so its up to people with time constraints. I may have to close on a house I'm selling but don't have an exact date yet. It should be on a Tuesday or Wednesday though so shouldn't be a problem.
 
21st should be good for us, weather permitting of course.
 
If my boat is not in the Marina by then I may come. If it is maybe I will just see how many people we can squeeze on @Eric Ballard 19 lol we will look like a refugee raft floating down the river if I add my 4 to his 6.

Lol... We will prob have some room as well if u wanna hop on.. And I know someone who may have an almost empty boat with plenty of room if he takes it.. I wonder if he will speak up! Lol
 
Looks like the 21st it is.. . Its only an hour or so to the far end of the lake and clarksville. . If u take it easy.. U can do it pretty fast if u want to... It definayely isn't a Myrtle beach to Charleston run!! With that beening said what kinda start tine you guys want? Its about an hour for me.. Say. 10 ish? Or earlier. .

10ish would be great hence the 2 hour drive.
Never thought I would ever get my boat out in April!

See now your talking why don’t you guys plan like a Wilmington to myrtle beach run to kick the season off I would pull my boat out the marina for that.
