2013 raft up pics....post 'em up

[Away Point]

All standing in waist deep water bringing up the temperature? That's a lot of boats but I prefer a more organized lineup. Line thos eboats up using some stern anchors and that group would look absolutely amazing!

I should have mentioned, my boat is nowhere near that line up! lol

It's a sight to see for sure, but my favorite part of Raftup Day is how much quieter it is everywhere else.

Not my video, but pretty typical. It was taken early in the day before it got busy.

I personally don't like to raft up, but here's a quick how to for those who might not know....

Hang fenders from the rail???

Sure, why not?

I haven't seen any issue with using the rail to hang fenders from as long as you don't drag the fender past the other boat under power. Just be careful who you let raft up to you. We use inflatable fenders as little tugs when needed to bring people in when there is a lot of current or wind pushing the boat away. Kind of like thrusters. Many in our club reject the help and it is up to the Captain whether we assist or stand by.

Scott, maybe you could have your boat bubble wrapped?

Maybe even one giant bubble. I could have a bubble boat! No worries about birds, drunken pukes, etc. Really the only downside is that all the local hamsters will be envious.

Plus, all the excess CO would give you a nice buzz

July 5, 2013. Live band on top of a house boat just off our port side (not in pic). This was a short break from the non stop rain on the 4th & 6th!

I'm with Scott on this one. We've tied up with friends before, and will again. But as far as these mass gatherings, no thanks. We've been to Aquapalooza events twice. Both times I refused oppurtunities to tie up & left both events much earlier than planned.

Some like chocolate, some like vanilla.
