Howard Regatta

[djunkie]

Is it still gonna happen and who's planning on going?

[SDLifesaver]

July 8,9 same place as last year. I would imagine we should start seeing a flyer pretty soon from JWP.

[topless]

I remember talking to the owner of Howard saying he would never ever have a regatta. He was a total ass. This was about 5 years ago.

Its going to happen, and I would expect a good turn out if it does.

Last year was the first official Howard Regatta. Todd @ Jokers Wild did an awesome job and Mike and Gene were very pleased with the turnout and positive atmosphere. Should be 10xs better this year because more people will be there and I won't be afraid of the lake with the new boat

SDL,
Maybe some of could win some prizes this time? :cry:

Gary, you may need to check your BS this am. Do you always speak this way?

[djunkie]

Well I had to miss last years because I had 2 weddings to go to, but I'm not gonna miss it this year. I'll probably be the only one there with a 23 offshore. :rollside:

I didn't know they made a 23' offshore.

[djunkie]

I didn't know they made a 23' offshore.
Yup. Not sure how many they made but I've got one.

[little rowe boat]

Yup. Not sure how many they made but I've got one.
I've got the 220 offshore.

[acatitude]

would like to know the dates when available...... a long pull but would love to be there with my grocery getter

[djunkie]

I've got the 220 offshore.
The 23 is a lot different than the 22. My 23 is real skinny and a small seating area. With a long bow.

Gary, you may need to check your BS this am. Do you always speak this way?
Only to other "fire guys"! After reviewing what I posted though, it looks like I need to check my grammar! What I meant to say is, " Maybe some of US will win some prizes this time". Thats no BS, thats how it was! :) Seriously, I am really looking forward to the regatta. They can only get better every year.

[little rowe boat]

Have fun people and take lots of pics.

[SDLifesaver]

I talked to Mike Willen this am and he said flyers are going in the mail soon and the regatta is a 100% go. They are just slammed in the back with boats and behind schedule. Use the Jokers Wild Promotions website in the meantime to register. Thanks, Nick

We can go one of the days, but our daughter is getting baptised that Sunday! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Nice ride!! what year 1986?

[SDLifesaver]

Saturday is the day you want to be there. Morning meet and greet, group photo, running shots, poker run, dinner and prize raffle. Friday is pretty worthless and Sunday there are no planned events. Saturday, Saturday.

[djunkie]

Nice ride!! what year 1986?
'89. All original as far as I know. Upholstery, engine, etc. :skull:

[djunkie]

So whos planning on attending? Only a few weeks away. :rollside:

[92562]

That weekend is during our annual Powell pilgrimage. We'll have to bow out this year. Last year was a blast for the whole family! One of the best parts was an early morning breakfast run to Springs with GT and one other Bullet (with an HP525 I believe). 3 Bullets flying low with zero effort, anyone get a picture?

Gary, the biggest cheerleader of us all and you might not make it?????? What could be more important? Have you spoke to Mike recently? He's been MIA for awhile. Nick

[TPI]

I have my reasons,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Mike has been busy. I talked to him yesterday. They have been very busy at the shop and making some nice changes to the layout. I hope the regatta has a nice turnout.

I haven't heard how many are showing. I'm starting to get cold feet though with showing up with my antique. I'm gonna have to make sure I leave the check book at home. :rollside: :rollside:

No way, bring that 23'. There was not one there last year and I saw another one in someone elses avatar the other day. It was red and white. Last year we had our 21' and there was 3 or 4 others and everything else was 22 Offshore, 25 Bullet, 26 Cat, or 28 Bullet. Even if you brought your check book they are so booked solid right now they would probably tell you to wait a bit. Everyone who went last year had a really good time and the turnout was great. Nick

[TPI]

Bring your checkbook,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Do you like orange?

[TCN]

Bring your checkbook,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Do you like orange?
Time for another new boat?

[Havasu_Dreamin]

Bring your checkbook,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Do you like orange?
I heard the all red Bullet that went back East with one of your motors is For Sale.....

[River918]

Bring your checkbook,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Do you like orange?
I would if I could get rid of mine.....The 28 Bullet is on my short list...

[TPI]

I heard the all red Bullet that went back East with one of your motors is For Sale.....
I heard the same thing.

[Havasu_Dreamin]

Tell me about it. Guess I'm not the only one trying to sell a boat stil.....

Ya I was joking. It would be kinda cool being the only guy there with a 23. But on the other hand I wouldn't mind seeing another one. As for the new boat, it's tempting but a house is first on my list. :cry: Someday soon though.

[djunkie]

Bring your checkbook,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Do you like orange?
I only wish I could afford that ride. However there is a bluue, white, and grey open bow I have seen out there that I would love to have also. :rollside:

[TPI]

Jr,
He was talking about mine. Also, I think your boat was the one that was being referred to above.....................the blue and grey open bow 28 Bullet.

[TCN]

Hey Nick your boat looks good out there no need to change.
Thanks JR, we love that boat. GT was saying bring your check book and asking if anyone liked orange so I was asking him if it was time for a new boat. Are you going to the regatta? If so, are you going to be @ Howard today or anytime this week? PM me if so. Thanks, Nick

[dr. margarita]

Hey Nick, I've got to go to Howard this week to pick up some stuff. You need me to get anything for you?
I've got the details on the Red Baron. It's for sale.... Gary, you've got to have a buyer for this boat?

[dr. margarita]

Look forward to seeing you all at the regatta. If you need a Marg...just ask!!!
Speedman!!!!!!!!!!

[boatsnblondes]

Heres one for sale nearby......nice...I would be all over it if I could.....

Be careful with those offers for the Marg's. My g/f will bug the shit out of you.

[HavasuHome]

There is a reason his signature is DR MARGARITA! :) :) Best darn Margaritas on the lake.

[little rowe boat]

Really, wow. I wonder why ? Are you talking about the Red Barron ???

[Havasu_Dreamin]

Really, wow. I wonder why ? Are you talking about the Red Barron ???
Yep, that's the one that I heard is for sale.

[djunkie]

Hey GT they say the mind goes first. Hope your going it will be good to see everyone again. I was at the lake about three weeks ago and some at the dock said his friend has been tring to chase me down wanting to see if i was willing to sell my boat ?
The guy that approached you, what did he look like? :rollside:

[Redrider]

Okay, just got home from Havi, going up Friday night for Saturday only. See ya all Saturday!!!

[Redrider]

Saturday is the day you want to be there. Morning meet and greet, group photo, running shots, poker run, dinner and prize raffle. Friday is pretty worthless and Sunday there are no planned events. Saturday, Saturday.

Still not sure about the regatta,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,have fun......................

mmmmmmmm, waiting, its da hardest part.... Is my relief here yet? :cry:

[TCN]

mmmmmmmm, waiting, its da hardest part.... Is my relief here yet? :cry:
I am ready for my relief to get here already and I just started a 48 this am. I know I will get no sympathy here but I worked an OT 48 then yesterday off then my normal day today and 24 OT on Wednesday then we leave Thursday am when I get home. 1 day off to do all the stuff @ home is not enough. I could have spent at least another day in the yard alone.

I will give you plenty of sympathy if you had calls in the middle of the night, but if you sleep thru your O.T. None :crossx:

Thanks Bobby, I really appreciate that. No sympathy for me then cause that 48 was at the vacation station and we slept all night long. Now where I am at today and tomorrow is a different story. Are you going to be out there this weekend?

[Havasu1986]

I'm not sure if I'm going. Just went thru 3 days at Havi and came home to 2 days of golf. Might need a rest, but the good thing about having a house in Havi is to wake up in the morning and say I'm going to Havi. Load up the dogs and go.

[Kilrtoy]

Ill be there looking for some fun....

[TCN]

Bobby, if you are out there and on the water or cruising the neighborhood in your GC stop by and say hello. Nick

I am at a busy station but the crazy people don't come out until dark and retired people don't fall down until I am sleeping.

I'm sure today being the 4th won't help.

[djunkie]

The talk was very quick he was late for something. 5'10", crew cut brown hair and looked too be around 26 - 30 years old. on foot did not see any boat or tow rig.
Hmmm. Could have been a friend of mine. Or you may have another boat stalker. :rollside: :rollside:

[djunkie]

Leaving in a few hours. See you all there. :rollside:

[TCN]

Well the weather is really nice and we saw several new Howards on the water yesterday afternoon. Sounds like the turnout will be about the same as last year. Everyone be safe and have a good time. Nick
