lm am waiting for new Red boat hull so i can run with you guys..still havent told you that storey , but the good news is Yellow boat went 102mph. I cooked the esc and had a blow over but i didnt care. Anyhow I should be good to go 2nd week of October the 10th or 11th because i dont have to work.

The 10th / 11th

102 that's great. When are you going to go for an official run? On another note: It stinks when you get the magic smoke, it really does stink, and its hard to get rid of the smell.

Oxford or Dooly Pond in Middletown? Are we on for both days and what time? Let me know.

[Gary]

Sat. or Sun. should be no problem as long as my new hull comes in so i can build it. Let me know what day.Can be there around 8:00am and what ever pond you want, dosent matter because i will have just the red boat . If its Dooley i need directions because i can not find an address for it.

Red Boat Maiden Voyage

Lets shoot for Saturday, if the weather stinks Sunday. 8:00am sounds good. I hope the weather will be good for at least one of those days.

[Gary]

Ok great. What Lake do you want to meet at?

Weekend

Gary,

Lets go with Saturday, 8:00am in Oxford. See you there.

[Gary]

Wind looks a little high so we will have to hope for the best. Boat just came in so im all set to go!!!

[Gary]

Well this sucks..I just got booted out of the lake for trespassing to close to the railroad tracks! I have to call O@G and see what can be done about geting to the lake without crossing the tracks.

Gate keeper

Were you able to boat before they gave you the boot? Jay and I went riding around Saturday before you got there. There may be a way to get to the pond with out crossing the tracks. We spotted a gate but did not get out of the car to see if the gate was locked. We can only hope it is not.

Was the access blocked off? Were you confronted by a live person? what will happen if you are caught there again?


We never tried Crystal Lake in Meriden, maybe we should give it a chance. The place is not to far from the Berlin Turnpike.

[Gary]

The cops came and gave me a warning. Its not the pond itself but the fact that you have to cross the railroad tracks to get there and Amtrack is cracking down. I have seen guys dragging boats across the tracks so i think they frown apon that!!!

[Gary]

ok got my permit from O@G now i have to figure a short cut to get where we go. They said the entrance is all the way down the end . I will check it out.

Access

I think I know where it is. If you turn right instead of left to the quarry and follow that road to a sharp left hand turn you will see a gate that goes under the RR Track. I don't know if the gate is locked but that might be what they are talking about.

[Gary]

Its not suposed to be locked acording to them so i will check it out.

[Gary]

I checked it out and it is the next street over on the right. You have to park in the street and walk down. So its best to get better "Carry bags" to get everything to the lake. Now when you come in through the gate and take a right, your entering from under the bridge you drove over. In other words when we looked to the left when runing the boats where we would stand you could see the bridge ...thats the entrance area.

[Gary]

Hey guys. Thought i would say hello. Havent seen you in a while. Looks like we are in for a long cold winter with all the lakes frozen. This sucks !!!! All boats are ready though!!!
