Please also, I hope everyone has read this.

Registrants 51 – 65 will be located at the One Water Marina, four boats in each 80’ x 24’ well. The Boyne Thunder Committee and/or Harbormaster reserves the right to make changes to slip assignments based on the needs and logistics of the event.

I hope my comments weren't taken in a negative light, but I was severely frustrated at 3 am in the middle of the ocean.

May I respectfully request to be included in the registration process planning for next year?

While I'm not an IT genius, I have a clear idea of what may work and I think it is well along the lines of what others are thinking.

Locking down the slip needs to be step 1. Period. Otherwise you end up in a vicious circle.

Looking forward to another year, I'm sure it will work itself out, but we need to do better.

If you really want to fix it, you need to get Gov't involved....Let Michigan.Gov take care of it... :embarrassed-smiley1

Someone had posted this pic on FB. I was laughing, that was the first year of the Boyne Thunder Street Show. They asked me to put some cars in front of the Red Mesa. I parked 5 cars I think on the street ,from my Fathers car collection.

Here is some interesting reading

What about raising the sponsorship to 5000 min and limit it to the first 20? That would free up another 20 docks. Unfortunately if it progresses and you basically have to be a sponsor to even get a slip then you will be left with only sponsors running it. The guys that have been there from the beginning that have done the run but can't swing a sponsorship will end up not running the event. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Recon mission last night... no boats at the marina, tons of room....

MMarsha 03-12-2016 09:35 AM
Make it $10k for sponsor...

Nortech, let's make a deal. I'll sign up as a regular person next year and you loan me a boat for the weekend for about 1/10 what it would cost you to be a sponsor.

That is unfortunate... so I am guessing that means you are on the waitlist or did you manage to get in??

This year the fun run will start out of Round Lake, the same as past years.There will be no registration this year. We will not be at the Yacht Club. It will be at Bay Harbor again. Food will be on your own in Bay Harbor Village.More information will be posted as we get closer to July. This has always been a group of us getting together for fun. This is not part of the Boyne Thunder Poker Run.

The State is sticking with this design. Not think I will want to spend the night on the outside slips on the west side.

Street show for Lake St., hoping Riggs and Reg are still in for this. Just a outline of what I am thinking. Think I have a pretty good handle on it.

Regartie 03-25-2016 01:50 AM
I'm in!

Regartie 03-25-2016 01:51 AM
Sounds like a cool idea, Bob. Nice work.

Sounds good Bob. Just hope we can get a hand with logistics (getting trailers, loading, unloading, etc).

Your not the only one, what I was told is the registration was done via a thrid party this year, so when they ask for a list, it shows everyone including passengers, crew very confusing and hard to see who's in what slip

phragle 04-11-2016 05:25 PM
All in favor of no more third parties....

Everything this 3rd party has touched, well............
