even if its only 1 or 2 = try n dooo ittttt

Ah, it's really not a Rinkervous unless we go all out!  I had as many non-Rinkers still going as Rinkers. 

@davidbrooks If I stay local, I think it will be on the South River.  I've got about 4 boats wanting to do that.  You are definitely welcome to join.

Well, I think it was fate.  Looks like we may actually have a tropical storm in the area.  The Rinkervous area is looking to have 25-30 mph gusts with 2 inches of rain.  And that's just Friday.

I hate the cancellation as much as DI does, but it does soothe my FOMO!

so how / what did the rinkers do during cancellation weekend ?
what new plans n tricks are up the ole sleeve for 2021

We had a small group of us locally raft together.  I believe most stayed closer or in their own marinas and enjoyed the weekend there.  A couple actually got their boats fixed by Friday or Saturday.  We will actually plan for a Rinkervous in 2021 with the same theme of Olympics (since after talking with some people, they have lots of that ready).  I will say that the weather was nice in Annapolis, but 40 miles up where Rinkervous was going to be, they had several inches of rain.  Bay conditions were gust up to 35 mph and 3 - 4 ft chop on Friday, so glad we didn't venture up.

I went to the Lake Erie islands. Got the first tow under my belt with my new truck. We plan on heading down for the 2021 Rinkervous. I have my Olympics gear ready to go!!!
