Talon Day at Lake Ray Hubbard

[Silver_2000]

Guys and Girls

It looks like next Sat the 16th is the day.

We'll see if we can get Garrett and Dana to caravan thier boats to Ray Hubbard to join David and Rons. I bring mine and we should have enough space for lots of people. We should plan on meeting at the lake around noon. The locaton is Captains Cove Marina. Take 190 to the end, go thru Rowlett - After crossing the lake on the bridge, Roan Road is the next stop light. Turn Left. It will take you all the way to 30 - Go under 30, Turn left - Stay on service road - Look for the IHOP billboard, right after that is a 2 lane street called Marina Dr. There is a Choice homes trailer by the service road. Turn right follow it around to the Marina. We will likely be meeting on the Gas Dock. You will need to buy a courtesy launch pass ($5) from the security guard if you have a boat. Its 45 min or so from my house to the marina..

Post here if you are interested in attending. You will need to plan on bringing some drinks and something to snack on. Bring sunscreen and towels.

We wll have skiing, swimming, Tubing ( if I buy a tube ) and other activities.

I think David volunteered to get burgers and fixins to grill on the dock. A donation for gas to the boat owner whos boat you ride on might be nice.

Post here to guage the interest

I forsee the lowest TALON event turnout ever.. :d

I should be good for that date, but before I commit to a firm yes, I need to check with the woman. I have a bad memory sometimes. :)

[Moonshine]

I'm game, but only if both of you promise to leave your Speedo's at home. :vomit:

I remember the lazy river. Boy, if you could bring alcohol in there that would be great. Course, no one would want to ever leave either...

Ronald

[dboat]

no thongs on my boat!!! :hammer::hammer:

She is still a virgin in many ways...

[David N]

lets take a count ..who is going to make it?
I need to plan head for getting food and stuff... we have a gas grill on the dock and hamburgers and hot dogs are easy to do....

things we need :
ICE
drinks
few coolers (we have frig. to store most of the food)
paper plates
chips
fixing for burgers
bread(buns)


and what ever else you might want...

i will get the dogs and burgers..

[microsuck]

I believe my guests will be the only ones authorized to wear thongs.................

[microsuck]

actuallyI cant make it, thats my dads birthday. poopie

[dboat]

I believe my guests will be the only ones authorized to wear thongs.................

buffed or not, you arent wearing one either...:nono:

[microsuck]

yeah, right dana, you just want to see me OUT of my thong

[dboat]

yeah, right dana, you just want to see me OUT of my thong:eek2::eek2::rll:

oh yeah bayyy beee..... NOT...

[dboat]

I would prefer to start a little earlier in the day.. My boat is dry docked at the lake, so a 8 or 9a start for me is better, before it gets too blazing hot on the lake... then call it a day at about 2 or so...

Anyone interested in an early start?

Dana

[David N]

Dana,

early start is okay, just keep in mind that i have A/C on my boat on the dock and on the lake ..Ron'S boat also has A/C but only at the docks when hooked up to shore power.. Ron also has a good size patio on the slip where we can hang out and cook out which is right next to my slip....

Glad you are ok with it.. this way, we can break it up into two sessions.. one early then lunch, others lunch then ski... or whatever...

Just need to know who wants to go with me.. Wayne is going with me.. can hold another two folks..

Dana

Ronald

Since we are doing the early start, the wife has decided to go.. so I can only take one more.. sorry... the boat has a 4 person limit..

[microsuck]

its possibe that I may be able to "break-away" from my arrangements early and come out there. If so, can I hang with you guys? Are you going to ski? cause I like to get my ski on like mad whoa........

For your guests, it is not only authorized...it is MANDATORY:tu:

I am in for the lake run.:twitch:

[dboat]

Andrew,

well it looks like you are the 4th then... you will get all the wet time you want.. :tu:

[microsuck]

For your guests, it is not only authorized...it is MANDATORY:tu:

looks like I may be going solo on this one. now, if dana just had a bigger boat.............:twitch:. I think I will start a new sport though. i will call it "drunken skiing" cant wait to try it out.
Andrew

[Silver_2000]

If I can get some help with the transport - I may be convinced to get an earlier start ... If nothing else we could use my boat as a staging area

[microsuck]

help?

[dboat]

help?

watcha need?

[microsuck]

doug, what does "help with the transport entail" holler if you need me.

[Silver_2000]

doug, what does "help with the transport entail" holler if you need me.

My boat is in dry storage at Pier 121.

Hooking up and trailering to Ray Hubbard is bascially a 1 man job BUT, I would need help with launching etc at the lake. And I would also like some help getting the boat back in the dry storage. My confidence in backing a new boat into a small steel garage is not high.

What time were you guys thinking about starting ?

I've got a few cases of soda I can bring, along with an extra cooler with ice. I may be able to pull some beer of sorts as well, and have a bunch of paper plates I can bring. Just give me a time and directions and I'm there!

[David N]

Tom,


Thanks for the help here is the info. for the marina


The locaton is Captains Cove Marina. Take 190 to the end, go thru Rowlett - After crossing the lake on the bridge, Roan Road is the next stop light. Turn Left. It will take you all the way to 30 - Go under 30, Turn left - Stay on service road - Look for the IHOP billboard, right after that is a 2 lane street called Marina Dr. There is a Choice homes trailer by the service road. Turn right follow it around to the Marina. We will likely be meeting on the Gas Dock. You will need to buy a courtesy launch pass ($5) from the security guard if you have a boat. Its 45 min or so from my house to the marina.

[Moonshine]

Doug,

I can help with launching/backing/transport. When I was in college I worked at a boat dealership selling comp boats, so I may be a bit rusty, but I've had lots of experience.

I can bring ice/cooler/whatever else is needed.

[microsuck]

just let me know where I am needed

[Ron C]

Quick Correction on the directions... You go through Rowlett, not Rockwall. Just didn't want anyone to get confused...

There is a beach party the boat club is having that day from 3-7pm as well, so there should be some action in the cove.

Ron

Oops - I corrected the directions

Thanks RON

We need everyone who is coming to post here and say how many people are they bringing. That way david can get the righ amount of burgers and stuff.

I dont have any small size life vest on my boat so if you are bringing kids we need to make those arrangements.

We need to find a place for a mid afternoon siesta since the beach party goes till 7

Doug

[tliss]

One, maybe two here. I'm still trying to persuade the wife to break out the bathing suit and come out. The sun doesn't agree with her, though, so I doubt she'll go. Anyway, count me in for at least 1. Besides, the wife doesn't eat much!

Tom

[dboat]

for this weekend..

David, is the marina where your boat is at, the one that has the barrier in the lake made from tires? I am just trying to make sure which marina to make it to after we have our morning ski session. Is it located on the east side of the lake? I am at Lake Point Marina on the west side, southern portion of the lake.. way off of the main body of the lake.

Anyway, as it stands now, Andrew and Wayne are coming with Kim and I on Sat morn. We will meet at our house and hop into the lake pretty early since Andrew wants to get plenty of wet time in..

I have a couple of fat skis that make it easy to launch folks. Andrew, if you have a special ski that you want to use, you will need to bring it.

I would like to get moving pretty early by around 8a or so to get to the lake. I will need to fill up at the gas dock before we head out. That wont take too long.

Wayne has been with us before so he knows the drill.

Andrew, if you have any questions, drop me a pm. I can also get you our address or you may want to ride with Wayne over to the house.

Remember, my crew is going to leave the lake by around 2p..

Lets have some fun..

Dana

[David N]

Dana,


not sure about the tire barrier... but the marina is on the west side of the lake(captains cove 972-226-7100).. Ron and I are at the Gas dock boat house (27,29) as you come in it is on the left of the store and gas pumps ... call me on my cell 972-670-3911 and i will make sure you know where we are... there is a empty slip two boats down from us that you park your boat...

Also this saturday the local boat club has a big beach party and for a $5 charge they will have beer and subway subs.. we might want to do that for lunch and we can cook at docks for dinner...

David, are you near the dam or which side of I30? are you on? North or South? Is the marina a distinctive color? Is it the one near Forest Rd? just trying to get my bearings on this one, esp from the lake..
Thanks
Dana

the lunch idea sounds pretty good to me..

now that I think about it.. its located on the east side of a large point that juts out into the lake.. its kinda pink in color.. its located just north of the power plant and just south of the I 30 bridge right?

[Ron C]

Dana,
It's on the west side of the lake, north of the powerplant.. It's the only marina inside the powerplant jetty..

and plans?

I posted my plans yesterday, we should meet up with you other guys at around noon for lunch and stuff..
Doug, are you planning to get there early as well?

Dana

[Ron C]

I think today would be a good day to put together the official headcount. Everyone that is for sure going, please post how many people you are bringing, so we can put a shopping list together, and figure out the logistics.

Thanks,
Ron

[Moonshine]

Just one. :D

Dana

I was going to go early BUT If I get up at 6 or 7 and am on the water that early I will be BURNT OUT by 3... I know from experience that 4-5 hours on the water is exhausting. I am more likley to pace myself so I can enjoy the whole day. Ill have to get with Brian and or Andrew - my help - to see when they want to go. Maybe I can find an Airconditioned place for a 3 hour seista inthe middle of the day... :d

The marina beach party is likely to be a good time - I plan on hanging out a while. I talked with David the other day and he suggested what we might do is eat at the beach party for lunch. Acording to him the Lunch is $5 - Then David and Ron would fix burgers and stuff later in the evening for the crowd that is left...

[Logan]

I know from experience if I have to lift a finger to do anything other than pick up a crown & coke, it'd wear my ass out, so why bother tryin'.... :)

[dboat]

There will be 4 of us.. Wayne, Andrew, Kim and I will be going out early to get in the water early. Andrew has to be back early so we will probably drop him off so he can make his other appt later in the day. We will meet you guys over at the Marina for lunch. Then after lunch, head back to our marina and call it a day on the lake..

Nothing like old guys on the water, and I think at least 2 of us were wearing Speedos:) But seriously, it's great to spend time with friends.

[tliss]

Yep...I had my Speedos on. Had too moon a chick to get her to hike up her bathing suit for a picture that Wayne took, but it didn't come out too good.

All in all it was a blast. Thanks to David, Ron, Doug and Dana for toting my poor non-boat owning ass out on the lake and for the hospitality. It was definitely a blast!
