2006 Triumph Mackfest July 14-15!

[NCangler]

Definitely want you go to come to the Captains meeting to meet other Triumph owners. I'll be in Morehead City next week and will get all the details on schedule from Denard Harris. So far I think we have about 12 boats signed up and it would be great to have over 20 involved. I post a list of the boats the first week of July that have registered to that point.

Well, it looks like I won't be attending the Mackfest after all. What with all the rain we've been getting in Northern Virginia, I'll be trying to dry out my basement and replacing carpeting and other fun stuff. But I'm still better off than a lot of other folks in the area. Ya'll have fun and post lots of pictures. Maybe next year.

Well, it turnes out that our military exercise will go up to the 13th and I should be able to break free for the weekend...or at least one of the 2 days. If anyone has room on their boat for an extra body I would really appreciate it. I have my own gear and tackle and it's a given that I would chip in for fuel and bait. I've been to every TBOT (even the first one with only 2 boats...) and would hate to miss this one. Thanks, Matt

Hi Mattitude. We'll get you on a boat so come on down!

Cagrove, really sorry to hear about the flooding. If you need a break come on down for a couple days of fishing.

GGC, sorry to hear you won't be able to fish Saturday morning. I'll be around all day Friday the 14th at Portside Marina so hope to see you then.

If anyone has wanted to come but hasn't registered yet go ahead and sign up and bring your registration fee when you come. I think we can talk folks into waiving the additional "after July 1st" $25 per category if we can get more folks to come. I'd sure love to see at least 20 Triumphs on the water fishing around Morehead City.

If you'd like to come to the MackFest to check out the boats but aren't interested in fishing that is okay too. There will be folks around all day Friday and most of Saturday that can show you the boats and answer any questions. If I can answer any in advance please don't hesitate to send me a Private Message or an email to info@triumphowners.net.

Blessings all!

NCangler, thanks for the invite. Is there any contact info that you can pass along? I would hate to get over there and not know who/what is going on and "miss the boat"...so to speak.

Mattitude, Denard Harris is the owner of Portside Marina, which is hosting the event. There will be Portside folks as well as folks from Merritt Marine and Triumph Boats around all day on Friday. I plan to be hanging around all day Friday too to sell Triumphowners.net and MackFest t-shirts. (Unless my crew gets in early and wants to do a little pre-fishing that day). When you get to Portside ask for me and if I'm not around ask for Denard Harris, Dick Cabble or Rick Davis. One of us will hook you up on a boat.

Check the weather report. ;>(

Looks like scattered thunderstorms all next week (not unusual for this time of year), but comfortable low 80's temperatures and winds aren't looking too bad. It is looking pretty good to me, but we'll keep an eye on the forecasts through early next week. If some rough weather is heading this way we'll make an announcement early.

My dive buddy Andy is starting to whine, but I'm coming up there unless there is a hurricane. If I can't dive because of no dive buddy, I'll have myself a photo shoot of all of the MackFest fishermen.
