Nc shake down run (April 21 2018 - All Welcome to join!)

[AndyD]

Here is the latest as of today for next weekend. I'll try and call the Lamplighter tomorrow and see if and when they can accommodate this many. If they can't accommodate us until later in the day (1p-3p, etc.) is anybody opposed to a later lunch? We could start the official run later but anybody that wanted to dunk earlier and explore the lake solo certainly could.

11 boats; 37+ people.

Confirmed (Headcount)

Later lunch works fine with me. Although I'm not opposed to splitting the group for lunch either, 47 good folks is difficult for anyone to accommodate.

 

[bronze_10]

The lamp lighter has a new banquet room that seats 100.. @AndyD is gonna call them tomorrow and see if they can work something out.

 

[Hector]

I’m game for splitting up need be. Just throwing it out ther but is there like a beach where we can back in the boats in shallow water and bring out the grills?

On the other hand if the temperature doesn’t get warmer I’ll probably loose my crew along with my spring pass, lol

 

[bronze_10]

There is an island that everyone likes to go to... We have been there once but depending on who's out there its not family friendly.. Lol if u know what I mean.

UPDATED ITENERARY!
So here is the latest update as of Monday 4/16. The Lamplighter can accommodate us but they have another party from 11a-1p. After speaking with @bronze_10 we feel the best bet is to leave NutBush at 12:00p and then we can reserve the banquet room at the Lamplighter from 2p-4p which can easily accommodate us all. The charge for the room is $50 which I will cover; if anybody wants to donate a few bucks it would be welcome but certainly not necessary or expected.

By leaving earlier it will allow the weather to warm up a little more that day but still give us plenty of time to get back to the dock that afternoon. If anybody wants to dunk their boats earlier and explore on their own they can; that is likely what we will be doing.

Saturday April 21st
11:30 - Dunk the boats in the lake
12:00p - Be in the water at NutBush ramp and ready to go
1.5 hour - Cruise to Clarksville, VA
2:00-4:00 - Lunch at Lamplighter (we don't have to stay until 4:00 if we are done earlier)
1.5 hour - Cruise to NutBush
5:30 - Be back at NutBush no later than 5:30

If anybody needs to cancel please let me know so we can keep the Lamplighter up to speed on our headcount.

Looking forward to seeing/meeting you all!
