2012 Masshole raft up - MJ V20 tribute

How about that sand spit over by Tempest Knob boat ramp. Right between the Agawam and Weweantic Rivers. Nice calm waters, can swim and raft easy without much traffic.
 
I dunno.

How about we go do some fishing first? Amybody know any good spots?

After that we can raft up where ever you want.


Kidding aside any spot sounds good to me but where ever we go do you know if I could bring a 20# propane tank and burner to boil some seafood on the beach? I'm willing to bring a bunch of lobsters and stuff for a shore dinner if we can cook there???
 
Barnstable harbor low tide is a bit better at 12:30, can fish morning and raft there?? room for MB cooking also!
 
Well looking at the tides its Barnstable Harbor, but if not doable cause of wind or something, Bassets if we can go there any tide?? MB you know that better so is it a any tide?
Figure if weather is good we could launch from Tempest or Sandwich and give a tour of canal and go to Barnstable. If wind is not right for that area we could go to Basset.
As far as food, simple is best but MB you can do as you see fit, I am sure no one will complain!!When I bought my boat it came with a grill, but I have never used it, and will need a mount for the rod holder for it I could dig that out if need be??

So lets see who is in for sure?? MB, CB, me and ??

What about the rest of you guys?? I have room in my yard for a few boats if someone needs to park some place? I have room in my boat and CB said he will bring his if need be, so if you don't want to tow we can still get out!
 
I am definitely IN.

Bassett's has shelter if we need it and you can acccess the beach there in any conditions. The sand is a narrow strip at high tide and much of the island is poison ivy but it is well protected.

The canal ride sounds good to me though.

I am bringing my gas grill no matter what but if it looks like real good weather I'll bring a burner and some lobtser or steamers to share.

If you plan on staying a bit look for some place in Bourne maybe. They have several good beaches and ramps and if you are staying in the town you can get a temp beach/ramp sticker and be just like the locals.
 
The New Market Basket here is selling Lobsters for $3.99 a pound. right now, was the same last week also!

No reason to make it more difficult then it has to be. Them who come great, them who don't to bad for them.
We can all decide when it gets closer what food we want to bring, just some dogs and burgers would be easy for everyone.
I am also ok with the idea of going some place if the weather is crappy,

As for teaming up with another site, this is are first time, and a Wellcraft thing, we don't know anyone there, I like the way this board gets along and am not to keene on the idea of having a bunch of guys we don't know join here, or hang with. We all know each other here be it internet, or person.

Too late - I already invited a big crew from Wisconsin - they have a V group up there.
They call themselves the " V Boaters of Darkness " and they all painted their boats BLACK.
A V boat hull will get burned on the beach as an offering to the Sultan of Squalls.

Should be fun - glad you'll be there Macojoe..............along with your blinking eye ball.

My best suggestion for you is - get there early, hide some provisions in your cuddy and enjoy the festivities. The burning of the V boat isn't something you want to miss.
Besides the black V boats, you'll be able to pick em' out of the crowd - the wives all wear thong bikini's, the men are covered in tat's and bald..........and their kids will be running around with mohawk haircuts.

Oh yeh, one more thing - their V boats are all overpowered - 300's and such...... If conditions are right............. you can join them in a nice round of demolishion boat derby on the bay.
 
MJ I had said previously I could be there but there is something a foot in which I may not have FishBones much longer so I think it would be a negative on my getting there.
More details to come when it is nailed down.
