Tom P  of 'Tonka Paparazzi lives down the street a few blocks from me on Fagerness Point. I met him briefly at the annual neighborhood memorial day block party this summer. He took a real nice shot of my SeaRay in July.

I spoke with 'Tonka Jim and let him know that if people are interested in getting out of the boats for a little while to get some lunch they are welcome at my place. I have a nice little grassy area down by the lake and can provide a place to sit and eat, a grill, & bathrooms. Also have all the picnic stuff(plates, utensils. ect.) left over from a party we had in June. You would just need to bring something to throw on the grill. I've got 2 docks but am sure some of my neighbors would let us use their docks to tie up to for a bit if needed.

Let me or Jim know. If it is something to group wants to do we can make it happen.

I'm going to try and make it (??) but it will be after lunch time at the earliest. Can someone PM me a street address of Tonka Jim's and the nearest landing for his place if you are doing lunch there.  I'll buzz by on the lake and see if anyone is still there.  If not, I will start hunting and use the telephone list.

Thanks

If its right around noon I am sure we will either be at Lord Fletchers or somewhere near by. I really hope you can make it. I NEED to see that orange CV16!

I think you meant Kips place not Tonka Jim's. Kip is almost directly across from Lord Fletchers.

Tonka Jim is our official tour guide. He grew up on the lake and no one knows it better.

@oldfishguy - Jim and I talked today about doing the lunch around 1:00 PM. Like Jason said we'll be across from Fletchers and to the east a little  n the no-wake zone.  If everyone is still there you won't be able to miss the boats.

Looks like we will have good weather on Sunday. It  may be a little windy so we will stay out of the big water if it is.
I will be at the ramp around 9:00 AM & I'm hopping to have all boats under way by 10:00.
If it's not too windy we will make a swing around big island & head south west around brackets point to lake Minnetonka regional park on the south west end of the lake. From there north thru cooks bay to the Mound docks where there is a Caibou coffee & Super America. Depending on the time we will either go around thru spring park bay or thru black lake to Kips around 1:00. From Kips it's only a 10 minute run to the area for pictures & the ramp on Maxwell bay. If anyone wants to continue exploring, we can head north west to west arm, forest lake, harrison bay. We should be back at the ramp around 6:00.

IF ANYONE HAS ANYWHERE ON THE LAKE THEY WANT TO EXPLORE, PLEASE POST!

I may have missed someone but it looks like at least 12 boats; 
Jason, Josh, Gregg, Tom V, Joe, Brian, Jeff, Jerry, Scott E, Chad, Shawn, Oldfishguy.
Bring your anchor if you have one, some of us will have to shuttle at Kips.
If you don't want to grill at Kips, Fletcher's is right across the channel .

Let me know if you have any questions.
