No pics Todd, but for the most part it looks the same. I think that the sand bar at the entrance might be down. I saw a 26 Daytona run over the top of it, and it didn't look like he hit. But the water has been up too. Next trip I'll run up there and give it the Mark I eyeball.
The Indians spoke with forked tongue? :jawdrop: Kinda hard to find quality ANYTHING in BHC. Good thing the beer is ALOT cheaper there......
And along the lines of something Darth Vader once said, I have a feeling we should pray the deal isn't altered any further.Every year we have beefs with the Avi, every year they claim big concessions, every year they actually come through with small ones. I'd say something about the $1 beers on Saturday night to make everyone feel better, but I don't want to jinx anything.
We can piss and moan about the lagoon deal, or we can just bask in the awe of the spectacle that 100 classic boats jammed into that little hole in the ground would inspire if ever caught on film
We don't go for the parking for our boats (if that were the case, we could have it at the bluewater and resererve all the slips) we go to hang out with our friends on a stretch of the river that isn't overcrowded with 26' and up ocean liners. So until a better option is realized that fits those criteria... we're stuck at the Avi. Besides, if it sucked so bad, how come all of us poor bastards keep comming back for more punishment?
Lookin forward to seeing everyone out there,
Chris

I wasn't referring to Avi in my post (sorry it sounded that way) other than "forked tongue" referring to them not coming through with what they say they will. Dealing with the Indians is sometimes frustrating because they work on their own terms. The more I'm in BHC, the more I'm amazed anything gets done, and when it DOES the outcome is often limited by the labor pool in the area. Sure hope the beer is cheap at the Arroweed Lounge, but I'll stop now to keep from jinxing it. :wink: As far as another venue, I haven't a clue where else CBBB could go and have the amenities there are now.
I'll stop pissing and moaning, and start basking
i dont care how crowded the lagoon gets. this sh%t is still fun as hell.
just think ,if the NATIVE AMERICANS could get addicted to the SMALLER HOT BOAT hobby!HHHMMMMM, I bet that place would be the BEST around for ALL functions,but a drunk ,crazy indian?that might be more than we could bargain for,well ,I,m sure its probably not far from the rest of us at around noon time :2purples: I was just there and the lagoon is the same its always been, but the water has been really high early in the day so it should be a great time (as usual)
I want to be there! but my fire academy starts aug 15 in redding.. I guess I could pull it off, but well see.

Mike,
No worries on the forked tongue thing. I was joking around with my Star Wars reference. Just how it goes when you're a grassroots deal and you're working with a larger entity. "Knock on wood", we've had the same group sales manager for over a year now, which is a record at the avi. I liken him to Lando bargining with the Empire. He likes us, would love to see every year and does what he can, but the Indians, local municipalities, etc. have the final say.
As we all know, it's the people that make the event great, so as long as everyone shows up with the same great attitudes that they have brought year after year, we should be styled.
Now as for that jinx, I'll see if I can't get somethin in writing from them so we can hype that aspect of the evening
