HO HO HO! Welcome To The 17th Annual Virtual Holiday Party. Come On In, And Often
Leave the fish outside please
Welcome! Hopefully you didn’t have to travel to far. That walk to the computer can be rough, dont stub your toe. Come on by throughout the day as people arrive.
You dont need a designated driver for this party
There will be plenty of parking
make sure your bilge pumps are working
We are ready for anything
We have plenty of ice
Just hang out
You can even come to the party in your underwear
The Bar is open… And low
Below zero here in NJ this morning. So Allen and I put on our Santa hats and headed south.
Hello! Hello! Am I too early? Maybe I will drive around the island a few times until the party gets started. Can’t wait to hang out with all of you today!
The Michigan gang is on our way. Santa’s in the lead boat to get us through the ice flows. We brought the Kowalski sausage and Bells again this year!
Holy cow! Didn’t we just do this! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since the last one! I always look forward to see everyone stopping by for this “yuletide clambake”. I gotta run to the shop for a few hours but I’ll be checking back in later. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!
Alice is going rock her way down for the party..
We will be there as soon as I get Molly-O in the H2O……..after I get rid of HARD H2O…..We may be late ……save me some Southern comfort!!!
Here comes the GOAT!
Oh and that reminds me of this GREAT header!
Sorry, Ron in Seattle.
Troy, apology accepted…except I don’t know why you are apologizing! Don’t you have more friends to drop in?
I assume GOAT is supposed to be BOAT? 🙂
No GOAT stands for Greatest Of All Time!
If you look closer that is non other than Tom Brady on the playpen of the Riva. And the header is from the year that the Pats beat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
At least is was not a embarrassing as it was for Floyd R Turbo. Sorry VIC!
We New Englanders have to relish in those years because the Pats sucked pre and post Brady.
Santa’s Helpers will arrive soon, from the North Pole Toy Shop.
Here they are now….
Merry Christmas to one and all!! Can’t be at the party as we are heading to Seattle (land of brackish water and boats still on the water) from northern lower Michigan (land of cold, snow and really hard water) for the holidays. Brought a little interesting reading for the flight.
I read that book. I really enjoyed the read!
WX today is light gray rather than dark gray. This is where he got the title for his book “Fifty shades of Gray”. BTW a great Christmas present to your wife or SO!
My alarm didn’t go off! Dang! I hope I didn’t miss anything!
By the way…where’s the restroom?!
In the snow…. You might just want to write your first name… And then the sideways figure eight under Dan. If you really gotta go. You can also write MERRY CHRISTMAS
We have already had 8′ of snowfall here in the not so far north, all in two weeks. So it was hard to get the boat going to the party. Merry Christmas. See you in Florida. I ready to go now.
Here’s some festive lighting
The Grinch is getting his pre-restoric racer out of the boathouse and heading over.
Going over to the docks today to get a load of fresh shrimp and some oysters, clams, scallops, tuna, etc. for the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Every day is a holiday and every meal is a banquet! Merry Christmas to all!
Santa got underway before daylight & hopes to be there soon!
Sorry, I gotta leave. My wife just called and told me that I’ve got chores to do! You folks behave yourselves! Thanks for the invite Matt! I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!!!
Drug “Little One “ through the snow. Put her in. I am on my way, dodging ice chunks. I am bringing cedar planked salmon, and Yooper Ale.
I am just back from the Boat…a bit chilly…I will check back when things get roaring at the party…maybe catch a ride with the cops.
Merry Christmas to all. Go Boating. John in Va
Arrived at landing…lake frozen…heading home for hot toddies. See you in May…ice should be out by then…hopefully.
We tried to get there but got stuck in the yard. Merry Christmas Woodyboaters!
Believe it or not I am on my way. As soon as I get this thing fired up.
We are loading up. Bringing our own beer. Lyman Lapstreak Love❤️
I have one of your t-shirts!
MS & members of the tribe – Kia ora! hello! cheers! WE wouldn’t want to miss out…….WE were blessed (me, Laura and Tim Robinson) with “Duster” (Philip Andrew) were ‘captured’ last March at Lake Rotoiti, South Island, New Zealand, for their wooden boat weekend.
ziggy and i are here — and COLD
I’ve made the hors d’oeuvres. Because even though piloting a pontoon is frowned upon in our circles, it doesn’t mean you can’t eat a pontoon.
We’re hunting for that wood boat party
We are headed thar way. Bringing food and beer
Maybe we’ll just have to party on the Matthews. We’re getting a late start and it’s a long, long way there.
Tom,
Great Matthews. My Grandfather had a 42’ sedan. I believe 1948-49.
I think I’ll grab a beer!
I am on the way, sorry I am late! I just need to get a roof on the new boathouse before winter gets here…
Whoops. Forgot the picture. Too many hot toddies. Ice is still on the lake.
Merry Christmas from the Tahoe contingent .
Great party, thanks for the invite!
Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!
Where is Zip? how about Jimmy and Wayne Bomb??? John in Va….just got of the phone with Troy….Dora for sure…..
… all loaded and ’bout ready to pull away from the dock in the ol’ Matthews. She’ll do about 20 knots so I won’t be late.
Oops, picture.
Nice Tree Matt!!!!!
Picture troubles?
Mala – quiniki- maka to all in W BVILLE. Hope everybody has a real good holiday
We’re late to the party. I took all day to round up a boatload of funseakers!
