Mississippi This Sat or Sun?
« on: July 23, 2014, 06:30:38 PM »
I want to get the pickle-boat out this weekend as it's getting ignored. Would like to do a "non-St. Croix" run to avoid the traffic. Anyone else?

Kate and me and her two girls would love to go out Saturday...  We are going to Vali-Hi Drive in in the evening...  We wouldn't fit in the 16, but if you want to take the 23, I'll fill your gas tank...

Jason, where do you plan to launch? Personally, I like the St. Paul Park to Hastings and back run, about 28 miles plus more if we go into St. Paul.

Can someone check that boat ramp, or I can do it tomorrow on my day off.

Believe I can make it - take my car back from my son, plus he will want to come along.

If we get enough boats, Brian's crew can be distributed amongst the boats going.

Saturday would be better for me.

I would possibly be up for joining everyone. Me and Jess are thinking about going camping on the river this weekend so just depends if we do or not.
I think this has become an addiction.

I'll be there at 9:30 with the pickle. I might have my niece and sister and law with me. If not, I'll have room for you Brian.

Anyone else? It's going to be a perfect day and with the way this year has been going we are short on perfect days.

So far:

Right now it is myself and son, Paul. I plan on using the back seat floor for two portable six gallon gas tanks, so I have no room for passengers.

If we need room for passengers, I'll just put more gas in the bow tank and leave out the portables.

Let me know.

Usually after the boat run, we all eat together at the picnic tables by the upper parking lot.

I'm bringing a simple sandwich, yogert, grapes, and chips.

My gas is premixed with oil since I disconnected the VRO on the Johnson 115.

I'm bringing 18 gallons mixed between bow tank and two portables in the back seat floor X 4 miles per gallon = 72 miles.

But I'll bring 5 extra gallons of gas unmixed with oil, and extra oil. You may need it unmixed or I may need it mixed.

St.Paul Park to Hastings Dam, stopped at a cove back to St. Paul Park, lunch on the beach just before the Water Gate Marina on the Mississippi, up to the Ford Dam where Jason, Shawn, and Joe continued through the Ford Dam. I headed back to St. Paul Park.

At higher speeds, the prop would let loose and there was a spray off to the driver side in back. This was the reason. Apparently I thinned the trim tab too thin and it broke off. No prop damage.

More pictures later.
