I'm there! And I'm pretty sure Mark is gonna make it too. We were planning on camping, but I think we're not now. I know I'm not.
William, your boat will be fine. Mine's 14' long and I'm sure it'll be okay.

William, Yep Steve is right. There are a lot of great coves right around the launch area. I took my 14 foot with a 8hp motor to Rend a few years back and Snuffy and I got around fine. Granted we did not try to cross or head to the north end. And we placed 7th in the tournament. Oh did I mention that there were only 7 teams. We we were there and it was our first tournament.
