Duffy cruise through Newport marina/marina...

OK, a different cruise for SoCal SOCers!

Looking for interest in cruising the waters of Newport Beach marina in a Duffy (electric boat)!
General idea is to drive your 'other' car to Newport Beach, board a rental Duffy and take a 2-hour cruise through the marina. Either Capt Ron, I mean Will Pierson, or myself will pilot. Bring your favorite snacks (wine/cheese/fingerfood).

Two weekend options are Sept 12th or Sept 19th. Let me know how many of you are interested on either of these 2 weekends and I will set it up. Depending on number of people making this cruise, cost would be $20/per person (if only 1 boat is needed). I will update cost factor as people confirm their participation in this harbor cruise.

We've done this many times with the kids/family and it is a blast!

Peace - Out!

Tom, we'll try to make whatever day/time (Sat/Sun) accommodates the most respondents. Late afternoons are nice on the water! Depending on how late we make it, maybe we can incorporate a group dinner at one of the local eateries when we finish our harbor cruise (Joe's Crab Shack is right next door to the Duffy place).

Late afternoon will work for Candace and me. Either day/week is ok. Sounds like fun.

VW Vintage Treffen is the weekend of 9/12-9/13. I will be going to this show in the morning on Sunday, and may be driving the Speedwell Rally on Sat. AM. Afternoons would be great though. I am also free the following weekend. I am looking forward to this cruise!

Both weekends are tough for Lili and I we have cross country events on Saturdays.. now Sunday is an option if you guys decide to go that route? And then dinner at Joes sounds good too...

Obviously, with everyone's busy schedules it would be impossible to accommodate EVERYBODY, soooooo, so far it's looking like maybe 3:00PM on either Saturday Sept 12th or Sunday Sept 13th whichever will accommodate most folks who have responded so far.

O.K., it looks like we're leaning towards Saturday Sept 12th 3:00PM for this cruise. Before reserving the Duffy, I will confirm attendance on Monday before our Saturday cruise and post directions. Bring your favorite snacks/drinks for this 2-hour cruise. We can join for dinner afterwards at Joe's Crab Shack (next door to Duffy dock).

Suggestion was made for dressing like your favorite character from Gilligan's Island (the floor is now open for wise-cracks)...

Gerd -

Check this place out. It's just across the street from the Duffy dock. After dinner at Joe's Crab Shack (which is next door to the Duffy dock), it's close enough for you to CRAWL back to your hotel room.

Sure hope you & Carol can make it. It wouldn't be the same without your shenanigans!

What time for this one? Kirk works Saturdays but can most likely shut down early.. More than familiar with the area but what about Speedster parking?

Mary - we're planning on 3:00PM (or so). This is a 'drive-your-other-car' gig because parking is anywhere you can find a spot along PCH. Hope you two can join us!

I've owned two Duffys and have been to the Duffy location many times. I would not take my Speedster there on your outting. The parking at Duffy is limited and there is zero street parking most of the time. Anyway the PCH is NOT a good place to leave your car unattended.

Oh and by the way, Debbie said she would like to join us, so we may need a bigger Duffy

Bob K. - since you're so close in Costa Mesa, we'd love to have you join us and meet this motley crew!

So far, we have 16 SOCers on this harbor cruise (more than 10 will require a 2nd boat).

Cyclist in face plant - 'Don't TREAD on me'.

Or maybe that should be - 'Is there TREAD on me'

Or maybe he's thinking - 'I'm TIRED of this cycling crap'

Or maybe - 'he SPOKE too soon'

Or maybe - 'he cwashed WHEELIE bad'

Or maybe - 'you picked a fine time to leave me, LOOSE WHEEL'

...Bwaaaaaaaa haaaaaaa, I kill myself...
