Thanks a lot for posting all the pics Kevin. It was great to meet Dale and getting to see Brad and Jim again for this year's raft up. Good too, to meet new Parker people. I didn't get on all the boats to get to know everyone like I should have. Time seems to get away from me. My resolution for next year is to visit more (and take more pictures). Here's a couple pics I had in my camera.
Capt John and Tim(bo) are two of the nicest guys you will ever want to meet.
I laughed so hard at their stories that I had tears flowing...
SO funny! :lol:

Truly a wonderful time. Many thanks go out to Kevin and his crew for setting it all up and dropping the first hook.
I left my camera at home, else I'd up load some pics of that blowboat behind us getting closer and closer and ...
Yep, 14 boats on one hook...we were dragging a bit. I'm sure that blowboat captain was gettin' nervous watching that 14-boat raft move toward him. :shock: :shock: :shock:
I was a bit bummed that the HydroBubble wasn't holding fast... but when you consider that my anchor is sized for a 35' boat, it did fairly well with 14 boats hanging on it in a 15 kt breeze.
Once Dave dropped his hook , the 2 anchors together held us solid on that mud bottom.
Speaking of mud... Brad discovered just how fragrant our mud can be. :shock: He couldn't get the smell off his hands. :lol:
