Let's see some pictures from everyone as they do their first of the season raftups!  Here is ours from this past weekend, finally getting the crew away from the dock to enjoy a nice 85 degree day! A couple 400s, a 420, 390, 350, and a 342. :)

    Sweet! I have to ask, are these all from your marina? Or people you've met over the years? Sadly, although the folks in our marina are friendly enough everybody kinda stays to themselves when out on the water.
    Nice Rinker pic though.

    Well, all of these boats are actually on my dock in my marina.  I've gotten really lucky over the years to have met such great people right on my dock.  My kids have grown up with some of them like another set of grandparents (or parents).  We all help each other out when things need fixed as well (like Friday I helped install a new Hardin pump, and another boat install a new 16k BTU A/C).

    Beautiful!  At my raft-up, half of the boats were Rinkers, and mine was the biggest Rinker there!  (Well, technically, it was just us and my friend's Carver.)

    Must be low bridges? All the antennas are down. Well then again being that close you don't need a VHS.

    Good eyes.  Yes, we all go under a low bridge to our marina.  At high tide, we can't fit under, we have to go a back way in that is quite shallow.

    Will do Patrick!  This was around the other side of the peninsula, Quiet Waters Park/Harness Creek.  Maybe we can hook up during Blue Angels or Mem day weekend.
