There may be some other things we need that I can't think about right now but I'll post them when I do. If you can provide some of these supplies please post a message so we'll know what we have and what we still need

Keith,
I'll bring a drill and some bits and at least one hammer. I'll also pick up some duct tape. I'll try to find some rope also and I have a couple of 3 not books I can bring. I have a contact for the Lukemia and Lymphoma society and will call them on monday. I got it from my support group leader today. I will also try to bring some xtra quarters for those who may not have 4. Have you tryed sailing one of your boats without balast?
Just wondering if it was absolutely necessary.

They need the ballast, I tried it without any and started adding the quarters till I got it right.
Thanks for your help

I know I have a drill, and a hammer, and a saw so they will be with me. Do you have a copy of Treasure Island if not I do, its brand new and I have a pirate booty bookmark as well.
I will look into the wood as I will be cutting out some paddles. also I will check out the local wholesale store to see if I can get some duct tape cheap.

I don't have treasure island. I did put a copy of Swiss Family Robinson in there though

Ok I will bring Treasure Island as well.

I printed up the plans for the Mini Cup and binded them together to make a book. I'll add it to the chest. Maybe someone will actually build it and we'll have a new member sailing with us next year.

Here's a couple of video clips from someone who is planning to join us at the lake next week. He's from the Glen-l site and just launched his boat. She's got a unique sound to her engine. I may have to bring the seagull to compete with that noise. http://falconsplace.blogspot.com/ Turn up the volume!

If Harley Davidson made a boat, it would sound like that. 8)

I like it!
I dunno Keith, You think the seagull could compete?
