Hey all. I know there are some of you peeps that have children, as do I (one 8 yr. old). We (Sandy, Myself, and Nathan) will be taking the Mothership out to Metro on Sunday, pending nice weather. I would like to moor up in an area that has picnic tables, maybe a playground, an open field for playing ball, you get the picture. This is a open invitation for anybody that would like to participate. Stop in with the kids, stop in w/o kids, it really dosen't matter. I'm open for ideas. Reply here or PM me.

That sounds like fun Mike! I've got Michael (11), Julianne (15) w/her friend Ashley. We could be out there mid-afternoon.

Weather providing, we'll be out there or at least stop by. IF the weather holds up we are planning on being on the boat by tomorrow afternoon and then again on Sunday. Pyrate Jim and I have two (David 7 1/2 and Erin 4 1/2).
Let us know where you plan on tying up - the finger docks or the wall or wherever.
Our boat name is Shallow Pockets.

 

[PyrateJim]

Keep it on Ch. 69 and we'llbe calling for ya.

[Mr. Big]

Very cool everybody! I haven't zeroed in on a location quite yet, but with Metro you really can't go wrong anywhere. I'll try to localize with other peeps as the days pass. We all need to start praying to the sun gods for great weather!

 

[Guest]

If the weather holds, we'll be out on Sunday. We'll keep an eye out for you, and have 2 kids, 9 and 6.

hey all,

we just had a birthday party for our daughter a couple of weeks ago and rented "shelter 1". it's just a few feet from the seawall and you can tie up very close. there's also basketball courts, open field, etc.

if the weather cooperates, we'll be there sunday afternoon.

Big, sounds good J.R. (6) and myself will try to make it hopefuly by boat.

 

[Mr. Big]

Sounds good everyone, keep'em comin!

 

[Rbatt2]

I have been wanting to get to Metro so this could be a good reason to do so! I'd likely have my two sons ages 7 and 9 with me. I would definately need some assistance tying up to the seawall if i went that route - could I hail on Channel 69 for help? If I ended up in the docks does anyone know if they allow bow in docking or do they require stern in? Thanks.

 

[Guest]

Metro doesn't have any rules concerning bow-in or stern-in docking, so whatever you're comfortable with is OK. As for hailing for help, if everyone is out on the docks, you may not get an answer unless someone has a handheld. If no answer, you can look for us along the seawall or cruise by the docks and yell. Maybe everyone can describe their boats so you have something to look for. We are a white (with green red and purple stripes) 336 Formula with "L8R G8R" and an alligator on the side. P-29's is pretty hard to miss if he's there - 29 Scarab with yellow on one side, red on the other.

 

[comeonin]

My buddy and I will try to make it also. I have a 3 yr old he has a 6 yr old! Lets us know where!

 

[Mr. Big]

Alright everybody, here's what I have:

1976 34' Silverton Sport Sedan w/ flybridge
Burgandy, Burgandy, and White
The name is JV's Joy ( previous owner name, I know...)

Actually, we may be able to go by boat...

 

[PyrateJim]

As I said earlier, weather cooperating, we'll be there with our 7 year old son and 4 year old daughter.
We have a green on white, 1988 SeaRay Sundancer 270. Name on the stern is "Shallow Pockets". We'll also keep the radio on #69 as long as we are in the boat.

What about trying to get in the first marina closest to the lake? They have power and it is close to the seawall for those who want to tie up there.

 

[Madmax]

I will be there around 2:00 pm with two girls( 6 and 8 years old )

 

[Mr. Big]

Great everyone lets keep'em comin. PyrateJim had mentioned the first marina off the seawall, not a bad idea. It's a good place to start, and close to the bathrooms if I remember correctly. So far if the weather holds, we'll probably have a good turnout. We'll probably be bringing a variety of snacks and juices on board. I didn't know if anybody was wanting to cookout or whatever. Hopefully we can grab a picnic table and go from there.

BTW, peeps without kids ARE allowed to stop on by!

 

[Mr. Big]

Not to scare anybody, but something to keep in mind.

WEATHER FOR FUNDAY

Sunday : Partly cloudy in the morning. Scattered strong thunderstorms developing later in the day. Isolated severe weather is possible. High 72F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
