Whoa. Just saw this thread. I'm absolutely, DEFINITELY, in. I'll be there with my girlfriend and hopefully a couple more people. My slip is at Causeway Marina on Rt. 72 so any time is great for me.
As someone else mentioned, it's awesome to have my first thing to look forward to for next summer!
Sort of why I thought it would be cool... the winter is too friggin long... and after all the work we do to get'er ready for the season, it'll be nice to all get together. What I'm thinking (and PLEASE don't do it yet!!) is that I'll start a "list" of dates. Then we'll take the date that the most number of people can work with - this way it is the most fair and we get the best turnout. Naturally, mother nature may laugh at us, but we'll have a rain date.
If anyone has a better idea on how to set up a date... I'm all ears, but that seems like the best way. Most people have PM'ed me and told me that just about any weekend (weather permitting) would be fine. I can tell you that it would likely be on a Saturday, and it would likely start around 10AM (or sooner) (when things there are still calm and we can "get out spot").
Naturally we should make it when the weather works for swimming (duh), etc.
That's what's been rattling around in my brain. Right now it looks like this went from a "feeler" to a "real thing"... but, please -- any ideas would be awesome.
It is looking like July 10th as of right now. (Warm enough to swim and not as hectic as 4th of July weekend) But post up or email me (PM may get full):
Just a quick note. If the plan is to raft or anchor in close proximity to each other, I would suggest keeping it towards the side or outside edge. As we all know it can turn into a zoo there at times. Trying to tie more than a few boats together near the walkway can be almost impossible due to the tight spacing.
I'm not a huge fan of the 'raft' thing... But I'm think about just North of the walk way and slightly West. We can see how it looks later down the line and go from there. If we can keep the 10th nailed down -- the rest will be east.
Any weekend except July 23rd. I run the Mid-Atlantic Bertram Rendezvous in Atlantic City. Come on down if you are interested as we encourage other boats. Last year we had Blackfins, Bayliners, Vikings, and a Bruno Stillman.
I like rafting up; but you need to know how to drive, and tie up your boat with plenty of bumpers. Every fourth or fifth boat just has to drop an anchor. I have a 35 Bertram so I will need to stay out in a little deeper water. Or I can bring my 20 shamrock and run it aground.
I'd like to go too. I have a 23' Mako CC with an Inboard. Can I get in there with the inboard. I trailer and put in at the barnaget township ramp. Thanks guys!!!

How much water do you need? Worse case scenario, you stay out further and come in with somebody with an IO or OB...
