Weekend is in the books! This year was the best year we have had I think.

The Springs was packed, they kept the burger bar open and up the staff for us Friday, the nautical killed it with breakfast and giving us a venue. LBR hooked us up for our pre registration party Friday night. We may have to rethink Friday night pre registration party followed up by a Saturday 8am breakfast banquet.

Breakfast banquet is the go too and I think we will use that format from here on out. Just need to rework the days on the water.

I stole a ton of pictures off FB. I hope you guys enjoy!

Anyone have an idea what they did with the swag bags if you were not able to pick them up.

Had the same thing last week with people seeing all the DCBs and Howards. It is a great time of the season.

Thank You, much appreciated. Could see our bag with our name on it in the pictures. Looked like you guys pulled off another great event.

Now that I have gathered my bearings and caught up with work(kinda) I figured I would do a recap.....

Friday we set up our individual photo shoots, which Eternity Helicopters and the photographer did great! That has been our biggest challenge when scheduling...

From there we headed to 3 dunes and The Springs had Staffed up from 11-2 at the outer harbor bar and it was packed. Great service, I didn't take a single phot while I was there.

Friday Night was our Pre-Registration party at the LBR Pool-

Followed by an 8am breakfast buffet at The Nautical(we may have to rethink the 8am breakfast call though) I think some people opted to skip breakfast but we had a ton of people still. Raffled off some prizes for people as well..... Thank you to our sponsors!!!!

Then we ran up to Pirates to finish off the weekend. Thank you to Art and his team for the Hospitality!!!!

Great photos so far @Hammer. 👍 I have to apologize to @240Hallett. Looks like Mike is embarrassed to be on the breakfast table with us. But then again we were one of the few to hit up Kokomos Saturday night. 🤘🤘🤘

Oh….one more thing….I think that I still have a bit of Nacho sauce on our boat after parking next to them all afternoon at Pirates…

I ran down to Kokomos around 9 until 9:30 and didn’t see anyone ? So I went back to the room.

Next year we will meet up at a different venue/spot..

Holy crap! I did not realize HIH drew that many boats.

Job well done @Hammer building this up and by all appearances putting on a great event.

While watching the video I caught myself wondering where are all the big twin outboard boats and then I remembered we are talking Hallets here. So cool to see so many Vectors and 210's are out there still cutting it up.
