So my wife and I were discussing how much fun we had the last time we all went down there. We decided it's time to start planning another one. I ran it past the guys yesterday and they all agreed. So I'm just putting it out there for everyone to start thinking about it. I figure sometime in March unless there is a better time. I just need to wait for my tax refund to come in and I'll be good to go.
 
I had a broken leg the last trip but this time Im soooo in ... I know my wife wont go because of school and dosent want to piss off chris Christy an all by taking off ..... haha
 
Something to think about is not having it on St. Patrick's Day weekend. It's a pretty big deal in Savannah and the reason I couldn't make the last one.

Had to pass out beer. :beer:

Not to mention the crazy traffic getting out of town.

Don't know what y'all think, but the weather in April is usually a lot more predictable/better.
 
like I mentiod last time, theres a ton of stuff to do around here, if any of ya'll are coming from long distance, make it worth your while and plan to spend more than a weekend here if posible.

BTW, I'll have trailer/boat storage available at my shop
 
just so ya'll know, weather during March can be tricky. I've seen it as hot as summer and as cold as January. Usually it blows the hole month, but this past March it was pretty tame.
 
Any way I look at it. It's gonna be better there than here in NJ. But I'm open to suggestions. That's mostly why I posted so early. We got lucky last time. Hopefully we can do it again.

good point.


What ever weekend it is, do not plan on coming the weekend of the bridge run(April 2). There are several other festivals the same weekend and you can't find a hotel within 50 miles of here. It also marks the beginning of tourist season( rates go up). April 14th -17th is race week and you won't be able to find a hotel near the water or with parking for a boat. It is pretty neat that week, there are sail boats everywhere, but the harbor gets crowded at times. Anytime after that, its just its normal tourist crowds.

Right now pencil me in for storing my boat at your place Spare, I just have to get me something more reliable for towing. But hope to have that done by then.

This time the wife is coming so it should be fun, Sorry to Willy and OZ we wont be sharing a room together this time like in NJ. I know ya'll (and I ) will miss the conversations. BTW have anyone seen a Crackle lately. :zip:
 
I would rather do it when we know it will be warm on the water. Have been down the icw in march with it 72 on land and we were wraped up in coats and blankets!!!!!!!!!!!on the water about frose going to southport.
 
It would have to be the first half of April for it to work for me. We start getting busy at work by the end of April.
