OK Peeps - the coordinator is trying to get a head count so that he can arrange the evening festivities - so consider this your roll call.
we also need to figure out if we are going to ride one-way or round trip. If we are one-waying, we'll need at least a couple peeps as ground crew. I'll volunteer my truck & trailer to carry an extra ski or 2 (one on trailer, one SJ or B1 in the bed) if someone will drive it from Freeport to POC. If we are round-tripping, there will be overnight on-site security at the yacht basin that we are leaving from.
I've got a couple guys from the fishing board interested in joining us on skis as well.
We also need to reserve a hotel room for Saturday night.

see if this map works.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=port%20o'connor&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl
That map points to the end of the ride, scan right, and out to freeport to get a better view.
Looks like Madagorda bay is about 15-17 miles?
Im in, not sure what my ride will be.

I thought skis go faster then 20 mph.
Our beat up dinosaur xp does at least 35 mph. If you grab a newer 250, you should be able to go there and back in a little over 2 hours, going top-speed.

the boat convoy moves at 20-25 mph. If you would read...

PS: it wasn't an actual suggestion.

Besides the speed of the convoy, I was also throwing in time for lunch as well as refuels.
But back to my question, anybody returning that evening?
