Paul ... You must have really liked your trip. I see you removed the comment you had in your signature.

Will
That could change at anytime The name of my boat fits me well

I'll come up next year with you Paul, you'll just have to go at gaser speed and I'll have to hide my boat. haha

We let a token Chris Craft in ( I understand they come every year)

leave you Credit Card on my boat I will run any speed you want

Now that my boat co.is bank rupt I'll fit in more or re-badge it haha. But we would like to go to it. How long did it take and what speed.

We tried to rund around 20 kts slowed down to eat and a few breaks
We left at 9:37 am and got to Herrington harbour at 3:30 pm ,a cross the bay from St mikes then ran about 28 miles to St Mikes the next day. We were going to run half way but the next day was going to be choppy so met up with some frends atr herrington harbour south. ( had just left St mikes headed back to hampton)

If we go next year Wes may ride with us .and you more then welcome to run with us .

Paul, Were they talking about next year. Is it going to be Solomons island. That is what I heard . That would be a little closer for you guys. I may come down there a rent a hotel with the whole family if the marina has a pool. Were going to be on a restricted boat gas budget. Wife is in nursing clinicals. School is not bad but having a sitter sometimes is sucking down the fuel tanks If you know what I mean. I willing to sacrafice for know, she doesnt know it yet but her 1st year of employment is going to be working for a yanmar repower
Not true but that is what I keep telling myself.

He said something about the Solomons island , but last few years the had it at Rock hall and many people griped about St. Mikes being to far , so I would think that maybe a proplem as Solomons island is a lot farther away for every one (but Me) .

Btw give her 2 years to pay for the Yanmars


How far did you run ?

Our run was around 58-65 miles one way. I need to go over the chart better. It took us almost 4 hours to get there and 3 and half to go back north. We burned a total of 123 gallons. We avg 16 kts going there and had a more favorable seas going home. We were in the high 18-19 plus kts going home. It appears ken & Silva are not part of this trojan web page?

Kent has posted maybe once or twice here ( I had to find his log in for him this year )

Did he mail you the list of people ? (my email was wrong on it )

I would defiantly do Solomons via boat and there are a lot more marinas to choose from Spring Cove, Town Center and Calvert to name a few.

My vote would be Solomons as well...

Unless we want to have a couple during the season. I would host a Potomac rendezvous, as there are countless Trojans from the bay on-up to DC, that would participate!
