I've been on the message boards for a few years and have had the pleasure of seeing how groups of us have come together to meet and start events like OP6C, freeboard Challenged, Classic Boat Beach Bash, and others. I've had fun at some of them and have heard good things about the others that I haven't been able to attend.

These events are fun but there are a few small problems. I never seem to meet everyone for one reason or another. I have to limit my alcohol consumtion if I'm driving the boat and the drive to the river cuts down on my play time.

This got me thinking, what if we all rode in the same boat with a designated driver for the event? Confused? I'm talking about a 3 day hot boaters group cruise on a luxury cruise line out of Long Beach.

I've been on two so far and had a great time. The ship leaves Long Beach at 5:30 pm Friday and returns Monday at 8:00 am. Everything is included except your cocktails and a few other specialties. The food is excellent and is served 24 hours. There are a ton of activities you can participate in. Got kids? No problem they can go to. The ship has an awesome child activity center. The greatest part is, we can booze it up all day and night and we don't have to worry about the driving or getting the boat out of the water.

You might be thinking, sounds cool but what does it cost? Generally this cruise runs around $349-$399 per person and up. Since I am trying to get a group rate the cost should come down but I'm not sure how much at this point. I'm also not 100% on the date just yet. I'm thinking the begining of summer maybe June 2005. I will also put up a few pics of my last cruise when I get a chance.

I will also be trying to contact sponsors so that we can have some nice prizes for a raffle but the main purpose of this post is to build an interest and contact list. PM or email me with the following.

I would go, but the ship would probably break down...

I don't know if you really want those Tucson guys going on the same boat. The boats they go out in, tend to be towed back!! :rotflmao

I haven't participated in the planning on hotboat, because I never know what my schedule will be like. I am very interested in the idea though. :good

I really hope you can make it. My schedule has a large degree of wackyness too. Hopefully, being that it's not until next year you will be able to get the time off.

Ya gotta be there so we can :beer
