Post by: David CVX-16 on July 15, 2010, 03:46:24 PM: I am thinking of boating around 9 to 10 AM on Saturday and am open as to where - Minnesota River, St. Croix, or Mississippi.

Post by: David CVX-16 on July 15, 2010, 07:01:25 PM: The current forecast for Saturday is okay until the afternoon. If we go early, we should be fine, but the forecast and conditions change. Which river? I am leaning toward the Mississippi, either from Ft. Snelling or St. Paul Park to the Hastings dam. The boat race at 10 AM on the other side of the dam should not entail a lot of boats going down stream and through the dam to watch them.

I choose Saturday because my son, Paul, workings on Sunday, he thinks. He will tell me for sure tonight.

Title: Re: Boating July 16th, 17th, 18th ?
Post by: Jason on July 15, 2010, 10:02:05 PM: 36 x 26. Should have room for maybe 1 or 2 fellow glastron member's boat this winter if they are looking for storage.

Post by: Jason on July 16, 2010, 07:30:53 AM: No heat, no electric (yet), no fancy pants stuff. Just a roof, walls, and a floor! Not sure about rent....we can talk about that.

How about St.Paul Park launch at 10:00.
Head down to the Hastings dam, maybe go to Prescott.
What da ya think ?

Post by: David CVX-16 on July 16, 2010, 08:50:57 PM: Gregg, Saturday sounds great at St. Paul Park at 10 AM. We would not want to go further than the Hasting Dam since the boat races are just West of the dam. I'll bring three tanks of gas just in case. Looking forward to it. Only the second boating trip this year.

Anybody else is welcome, but let us know as we want to travel in a group. My cell is 612-363-3704.

Post by: Hyperacme on July 16, 2010, 08:53:50 PM: See ya at 10:00 ...
You don't want to watch the races ?
Title: Re: Boating July 16th, 17th, 18th ?
Post by: David CVX-16 on July 16, 2010, 09:01:26 PM: Gregg, to watch the races, we should be on land. The currents below the dam are swift. And they may be restricting the boat traffic around the race course. There would be people we know there - Howard ipkorn, Jerry S, Allen, Andrew from the boat parts store in Wyoming.

Gregg, if you want to see the races, lets go by land and do the boat thing another day. Let me know.

Ha! Yea, She is pretty good. I did have to compromise though. It was originally planned to be a 4 car. Notice the extra service door on the far side of the building? That will go directly into her garden............
