I posted in other thread, I also would like to see May 11 - 15 for the Nationals.

Was just looking at the calendar and it looks like the 4th Sunday in November is right after Thanksgiving. What are the general opinions for running Ackerman that weekend?
I recall something being said at Ackerman this past Sunday about the early run for the month being in Clearwater. Any more info as in location or date for that yet?

Hmmm, the Sunday after TG may not be good! Waiting for Larry Jaques to give directions to his place in Clearwater. As I recall, it is behind a shopping center at US19 and East Bay Drive but not sure which corner!

Hello
My place is behind the Tri State Plaza, North West corner of
US 19N and East Bay Drive.
From 19 you go West on East Bay Drive,
Turn Right on Pine Forest Drive beside the Wendys,
Second stop sign 12th ST. turn Right
1207 12th St. across from the pond
There is a parking lot on the corner.

I am in the process of getting buoys to put in the pond.
It looks like it may only be a 1/10th + course.
1/8th will not leave enough room on the ends for the people
that can't drive the pins.

Sure do hope the aerial satellite view isn't "current". It looks like there's a lot of growth in that pond.

I just bought a radio, so its time to start getting a couple of new hulls going.

Pond is clear.

A clean pond is always good news. I guess the next question would be for dates and who's planning to go?

Whatcha gonna build 1st?

[sailr]

Thanks Larry! Sounds like fun!

If coming from the north, take the courtney campbell parkway west and then the McMullen Booth bridge south (first left turn after crossing the bay). Turn right on Roosevelt...which becomes East Bay! Cross 19 and follow Larry's directions from there.

If coming from the south, take I-275 to Ulmerton, then Roosevelt past the airport and on to 19.

well right now I am planning on buying a JAE rigger kit from Ray, then I will be doing an LSH and a tunnel. Once that is all done, I will probably do a q offshore. I am staying away from p-mono for now since it cost me so much money before in ESC's.

With the 4th Sunday being right after Thanksgiving and then December's being at Christmas... anybody else up for running the 2nd Sunday of November 11/14 at Ackerman? I'm kinda partial to the big lake myself.

[sailr]

works OK for me. What about everyone else?

[RCKong]

I could be there too.

[sailr]

Larry, hope this doesn't put a damper on our previous plan to run at your place? Not sure how many will want to run two days in a row. ??
