Any interest in a trip to Hugenot JacksonVille, FL Nov 9th through the 10th?

[Dmac80sc]

I think I have one for you rob.

 

[Sanoman]

I see that it came down to combining pleasure and business.

BTW: anyone who will be there has a spare primer-bulb kit that he/she wants to sell?

You don't know the half of it.

l think l have a primer kit l can bring! l'll bring it with me

 

[OCD Solutions]

I have a spare primer bulb I keep in my emergency kit if you need it. It's never been used but it's been kicking around for 5 years or so. It's never seen sun so it should be good still.

it still is pumping gas, but the plastic base is broke and it just spins. Just have to baby it a little and she does fine.

 

[ProSouth]

I have.... So much to finish today....

ok guys we normally launch at the ramp right next to the bridge. how many people are setting up on the beach?

 

[McDog]

I plan to be on the beach so my kids can play and my wife can get some pics of the action with a zoom lens.

 

[McDog]

Rode my ski with oem ignition yesterday. Good to go but man what a difference in power from total loss. Plenty tame for surf now.

Can I pull my trailer on the beach?

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Yep, you can drive on the beach and pull trailers right to the ride spot.

Theres another advisory. Should we cancel this trip? We might need to especially if its TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

We should be pulling in the park between 1230 and 1... what time is everyone else setting up?

 

[ProSouth]

1230-100...

 

[Captain PegLeg]

1230-100...

OH REALLY??! Thanks, didn't know what time you were getting there. :spankme:

 

[Zero Client]

9:30-10am. Interesting thing; I may be transporting a dog from Atlanta to Jacksonville to help with an adoption.

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Damn.. what time you leaving eric?

 

[Zero Client]

Packing tonight. Waking up at 3am, leaving by like 3:30. I'm an early bird who usually wakes at 5:00am so its no big deal for me. I'm driving solo. GPS says 5.5 hours so... 9:30-10am

 

[Captain PegLeg]

You cant even get on the beach until high tide goes back... And make sure someone else is down there before you put the ski in the waves, especially if its your first time in surf.

 

[McDog]

When does high tide go back?

 

[Captain PegLeg]

last time we were there a few months ago it went back around 1130ish from what I remember.
