Thread: Freeboard Challenged V

    FC5 is going to be May 6th.
    Here's a cut and paste of the info from the (deleted) FC thread on the Roostwear board. I'll be adding more details soon.
    Here's the prices. If you have a self contained rig, it's a whopping $10/night. There is no power, water or sewer available for trailers. There are clean restrooms at the right of the boat parking lot. Plenty of room on the beach, no current, nice soft sand to beach our boats, too.

    This is the money shot. The launch ramp is to the left in this shot, with the water to the right of the ramp being a sheltered lagoon just for us :mrgreen:

    This is a bit further to the left (toward the river)

    This is looking downriver. Lazy Harry's is about 5 minutes downriver, and a sheltered area that is FLAT with no current about 2 minutes downriver.

    This is beach just upriver.

    Here's a panoramic shot (not color corrected) to show the layout.

    There are cabanas on the beach as well as a few grilles. It's kinda cool launching, beaching your boat, hanging on the beach with your rig within sight.

    Yes as long as they stay cool !!! But it is more for the older slower crowd. And everyone respecting others, having a great time.
    FCVI will depend on this event !!!
    The May NJBA race is still undetermand at this point, so I don't know where I will be, here or there.

    last year there was one PWC, but it just so happen to be jerry and lisa "78 southwind" . they had an unfortunate misshap with the boat prior to the event and was forced to cross over to the dark side.lol actually i commend them for coming anyhow. even knowing well that they would get hassled (all in fun) for it, they still had a great time. im glad they showed up. but look out you southwind guys, jerry did some upgrades this off season and will be runnin strong. as for the comment of the "OLDER" crowd? age is not the determining factor here. maturity, respectfullness, and a good all around attitude is what i think ST was trying to say. think of it like a rod run that you would see in the city. a bunch of people that love thier hot rods and getting together to be with others that share the same passion for them. not a race, not a competition, just good fun times with good fun people. its a cool spot and nice stretch of the river with a good arrey of places to go. the back bay, glass beach, and of course Lazy Harry's bar and grill are all near by. and of course the bay you see in the pics is way cool with plenty of room and you can launch the boat right there. its a 2 lane ramp but its kinda tight, so please be patient with the folks that are still learning. its calm water so theres no reason to be rushed. besides, why would you get upset about having to stay on the water longer?
