Forty or more.Just a guess if the seas are good you could go all ocean. You could always cut in at Mansquan Inlet the start of the inland water way. Or you could jump in your car and head down to Island Beach State Park and walk out to the bay at party island.

68 is fine with me. Trying like hell to get there Rob... this may cost me a divorce <sigh> We're supposed to move in 2 days.. but since we're not selling the house we live in right now, that date can slide a little. Meanwhile I've been putting the final touches on the boat....installing the radio, depthfinders, etc. Truthfully I don't know if I'm going to make it, but I'm trying. Still have to put the boat in the water for a shakedown.. Just got the lower unit installed tonight... Controls will be installed tomorrow night, so maybe Wed I can run her up and down the river and see how she's working. We'll see....

Now how can you mention Jimmy Buffett and Stevie Ray Vaughn in the same sentence? I'd sooner listen to fingers raking across a chalkboard than listen to Jimmy Buffett.Who's bringing the Jimmy Buffett or Stevie Ray Vaughn collection?
Hopefully I'll have my 8' FM antenna on tonight or tomorrow to catch 105.7 The Hawk

Chew a little Juicy Fruit...It's good for the soul...
Ever since Wriggleys changed the formula for all their gums they are terrible.... Juicy Fruit, DoubleMint, SpearMint. UGH!!! They all leave an aftertaste like diet soda now. Why couldn't they leave well enough alone? I'll never buy their gum again.

I just checked the weather. Rain early in the morning. Then partial clearing. Thats good enough for me. Right now I have been listening to a lot of reggae when we are out on the boat. Good stuff.

Newbie here; will try to stop & say hello
Hi all,
I've been lurking here for the last couple of months, just gleaning info. I picked up V-20 early this spring, and have been working to fix it up with my son. I was hoping we could get it ready for the raft-up, and kind of show up as surprise guests, but with the heat wave followed by the rain, it's looking like it's a slim to none chance. I will however see if I can find you'all and wade over to say hi. If the weather permits, I'll probably be over to Tice's with wife & daughter on jetskis.
CHEERS!

What a perfect day. The first time I went out in the V-20 and didn't go fishing. I would say their must have been two hundred or more boats that I saw while I was looking for the V-20 raft up. WOW I never seen that many boats with people having a party!
Then I heard Capt Pete on 68 saying over here Tommy so I headed over to join in. It was great to share company with them,I meet Rob his family and dog Newfey such a nice family with well behaved children. At that time there were only three V-20's. A little later the Barnegat V-20 George and his dad showed up it was the first time for meeting them too I must say his dad did a good job raising him he has his head in the right direction. Just as I thought no more V's were coming Ken and his wife came over to join us ,another nice couple with his [ show room condition ] V-20.
My thanks to Capt Pete for introducing me to these people and sharing time with us.
