They Ain’t Stoppin In Florida!

Looks like the  Harrison’s, Funk’s, Hall’s,and the Dickes decided to make a week or more out of the Lake Dora Show. A smart idea and as luck would have it, the right week to pick.Reports were that the St Johns trip before was a wash out, but this is when the weather is great and so is the boating.

Meanwhile back here in the real world, I am back at work, wearing a jacket and complaining about traffic.

Parked for lunch

Pirates Oasis in Blue Heron cove just north of Lake Griffith.

LUNCH – The tropical hurricane burger at Pirates Oasis. Must have been a half lb  patty with cheese, bacon and a fried egg. Probably 2,000 calories.

    Wow it looks like we should have hung around the lake a little longer!

    I must say though that our private tour of the Chris-Craft factory in Sarasota and lunch with Steve, Allison, and Gavan was a real treat.

    Here is a little teaser for the rest of you.

    I know these are not Woodys, but the current owners, Steve and Steve, have really brought the CLASS back to Chris-Craft!

      Glad you went…It helps cement the relationship with Steve and Stephen…You were lucky to catch Stephen there…He’s more often in Europe..Keep in touch with Ally. She’s a great source of information.

    If the party is fun why go home! Enjoyed the pics and stories from Lake Dora. If I were there I would stay as long as I could. Looks like fun.

    I’m confused…Was the gathering with Hall’s, Harrison’s, Funk’s and Dicke’s part of the Northbound River Cruise ?
    (looks like they were on the river) or were they just messing around Lake Dora and the connecting lakes ?
    Gene’s comment makes it sound like maybe there were two event.
    Anyhow it looks like a lot of folks stayed and had fun.

    Looks like the Lake Dora to Lake Eustis to Haines Creek to Lake Griffin route. When I rode by Haines Creek a couple of years ago biking around the area, it looked only passable by small outboards. But, that may be due to low water conditions a while back. Water is generally up around there, it appears. Based on Staib’s research, I hope Harrison’s, et al are not in for a breakdown of a different kind (lower intestinal blockage or maybe just the opposite…unrestricted exhaust??).

    Should have replied yesterday, but the fellow eating the burger is a visiting friend from Canada and his nickname since before I ever knew him (which is over 20 years) is The Wood. Proudly, he demolished that massive thing in roughly 5 minutes. It was ham on it by the way.
