Supra Southern Reunion Underway!

[gogger]

Well we rolled into Chattanooga Wednesday night, and had a wonderful dinner at the boat house restaraunt. We hit the water Thursday around noon and went for a ride and then dropped anchor and just enjoyed a beautiful day on the water.

TitanTn contacted us and we picked him and his son up at the dock. Inair met up at about the same time with his son and daughter and we all wound up on the 24ssv and did a little boarding.

Through out the day the starter on the 24ssv had started to sound bad. Luckily we were at the dock and it decided it was done. Rob swam it over to the trailer and we were amazing able to get it load with no power. I got her back to the hotel and was able to pull the old starter with a 9/16 wrench that was hiding in the truck. And hopefully I can find a new one in the morning and have her back running early in the morning.

Starter removed and ready to find its replacement.

[Jetlink]

Let me know if you need help sourcing a starter. I'm in Nashvegas/Nashville for the night and headed that way tomorrow. If you're striking out but can find one west of town, I'll gladly pick it up for you.

[gogger]

Thanks I am hoping a local auto parts store will have one. I will be checking first thing in the a.m.

[Jetlink]

No sweat, I'm hoping to hit the water around 1400-1500 tomorrow.

[gogger]

With a little luck and a credit card we will be there. It was great out there today. Water was smooth as glass most the day. There was a bass tournament in the evening.

[jasun]

Cant wait to see the updates come! One of these years I will pack up the Salt and head that way!!

[Blackntan90]

Me too! Thanks for the pic's- keep 'em coming for those of us that cannot make it this year!

[haugy]

Do I need to send tools with JetLink? His boat is at my shop, I can have him load up before he grabs it today?

I don't have your number gogger.

Gogger, PM inbound with my contact info.

[Jetlink]

So that's where my boat ended up last night? Geez, Nashville night scene strikes again!

[gogger]

Well I got the starter in. But now no power when I turn on the key. Radio works everything else working. Gauges don't come to life. Can't get south off the solenoid. Went to buy a voltage meter.

[gogger]

My stupidity. The main power cable had dropped in the bilge. I thought the other cable was a little thin. But working in the dark has disadvantages. Running now.

[haugy]

Does help a bit. :D Glad you're up and running. I'm coming down tomorrow morning. So if anything else pops up and someone needs something, holler. I know Michael is bringing tools, but so am I. I don't go far without mine.

[gogger]

Out on the water and all is good.

[cadunkle]

Glad to hear the festivities have started. Wish I could come. Too much this week with work and getting the trailer and truck ready for my trip north and too tight timeline. Headed out early in the AM, so tempted to go south!

[gogger]

Having a great time. Getting to see some really cool boats, and meeting some really nice people. And seeing some old friends. Weather is great. Most the guys did some surfing off the 24ssv, and we all had a blast. Nice dinner on the water. Looking forward to some more fun today, and a cookout at Titans campspot. Working on downloading some Gopro footage. Will load some pics tonight.

[NoWake]

Wow! Thanks everyone, we really enjoyed meeting everyone. This is the most impressive group of boat enthusiasts I've ever met. Thank you for all the hospitality, help, stickers, support and sunburn!

[Kma4444]

Nice, sounds fun!

[gogger]

Well our trip came to a sudden halt. My wife thought riding in the bow would be a good idea. Unfortunately we aren't use to the kind of water we were crossing a couple of big cruisers wakes criss crossed us and we first almost went under some 4 foot rollers and then suddenly bounced across a couple coming from the other way and she bounced hard up there and actually fractured a vertebrate. Fortunately many good people helped us. Thanks to the Whitsons, Bill came aboard and drove while I ackwardly tried to comfort my wife. Not my specialty. We had to go back slow and were a few miles out of the marina.

Bill's wife Sharon drove their Saltare back to the marina ahead of us and had the EMT's waiting for my wife. She also had the squad on the way. And she talked the squad into taking us to what she says is the best hospital in the area to go to. So we were well cared for. Bill took my boat and docked it for me. We were at the hospital until after 5 p.m. They gave her some pain meds and said to see an orthopedic dr monday. So we are heading back to Ohio sunday morning. We have a friend that is a surgeon and he already has us lined up to see a dr in Columbus.

Thanks to (deleted) Daniel for helping me load the boat and get everything straight. He is a wealth of information and gave me some good tips about the new boat and pointed out a lot of things to fix on the trailer. lol

And thanks to everyone else for the help and support. Hopefully I will make it down next year and nothing exciting will happen.

We were all bummed about Mrs. Gogger getting injured, but we still had a great time with them. There will be lots of photos coming over the new few days as people make it back home. Thanks to everyone for attending and just being a great group of people. I did get photo evidence that Haugy finally made it, and I'm taking requests whether I should actually post it or not. I hesitate to destroy the mental image that each of you might have.

Nice wake and a nice board!

[TitanTn]

Nice wake and a nice board!

When my daughter got home from wake boarding camp today, the first thing Ryan told her was how he rode a big man's board behind a sweet Supra.

Wish we would have gotten to do some more boarding.

Just walked in my door at home. Too tired to look at the trip computer for the trip totals on miles driven and such but we made it home in 13 hours. How many more days/weeks until the reunion next summer?

OK, easily my favorite pic!!!!!

Agreed! What form! Not one body part touching the board. Now that's talent...

[haugy]

Good times, and a good group. Glad I finally got to make it down there to meet everyone. Everyone was very friendly and helpful right from the word go. Thanks to LoadUp and his wife for the comedy entertainment, and gracious help, from the start.

I'd prefer to stay out of the pictures if you don't mind. If you've got my boat and can't really see me, by all means I'd love to see those. I shall now disappear below the surface to not be seen for yet another year. Unicorns (or Narwhals) very rarely come out, and when they do, you've got to be quick to spot one. :D

[TitanTn]

Too late! Here's Haugy caught like a deer in head lights.

Looks like a great time!

Gogger, hate to hear that about your wife. Was she sitting in the very front of the bow, facing rearward? Hopefully she recovers quickly.

[kriley]

Thanks to everyone for the great time that we had during this event!!! I know it was tough letting a lowly Moomba join the event but I can say the whole family had a blast!

Gogger - I hope you and your wife made it home safely!!

Yep. Learned the hard way not to sit like that.

Good looking moomba, was glad to see it there.

And thanks we made it home quickly and safely. Luckily we have the Dodge Megacab and folded down the rear seats and made her a bed. Unfortunately she says she now wants to travel like that all the time.

The following posts are some of the pictures I managed to get while going solo for most of the day on Saturday.

Then, heading back to the camp for the dinner cookout. Heard there was a "Captain Squirrel" moment with the three boats after our party headed back...missed seeing it but we all laughed when hearing it told to us over dinner.

[Jetlink]

Three of us kept our boats in the water right off the campground where TitanTN was and where dinner was.

Cannot wait to hang out with this group again. Hopefully we see more new faces next year as this event seems to grow year after year with more people coming in from farther away too. We had two families that drove in 900 miles round trip and one that did 1700 miles round trip as well.

End of Day Two

[gogger]

Great pics. Feel like I missed all the fun.....:confused:

[TitanTn]

Thanks for the great pics. I know who these came from...

I hope others enjoy the pics. It's a great opportunity to see boats and their owners. Please think about joining us next year. It's getting bigger every year and is certainly worth the effort to come. As Jetlink said, we had a particular someone tow 1,700 miles roundtrip, and they're planning on coming next year too.

[Jetlink]

Not sure if picture #4 in post #70 is showing too much of Haugy's "face." Might have to remove that one guys...

I am humbled. I only towed just over 1000 miles. And broke my wife's spine.

You won the award for the most dramatic exit from the lake. ;)

I know it was cut short, but I'm glad you were able to come a little early and enjoy the lake before the weekend. My son really enjoyed the pull, ride, and heater vents. And sharing Wheat Thins with Mrs. Gogger. You won the favorite boat vote from him.

[Jetlink]

I am humbled. I only towed just over 1000 miles. And broke my wife's spine.

While I'm just as impressed that you not only made the trip shortly after your journey to pick up your boat, I'm more impressed that you made it home with an injured wife and did so safely and efficiently. My hat is off to you for all that you faced this weekend.

Sunday, July 13th

Which is it? "Does this ass make my boat look big?" or "Does this boat make my ass look big?"

[dirtydawg]

Thanks for the great pics. And thanks again to everyone for their southern hospitality and treating us like family. What an awesome weekend. We can't wait to see you all again next year, and that includes you too Haugy. Thanks again Rob, keep it going and we'll keep coming.

[supra790]

Looks like a lot of fun. 2160 miles each way is just too far for me to tow :)

[skiman_61]

Looks like you all had a great time. Someone was lobbying for a Cumberland reunion. Don't recall who that was but maybe we can do a simulcast next year.

[haugy]

and that includes you too Haugy.

Geee thanks. :D

Great pics!!!!!

I'd say Centerhill for next years, close to both the north and south, and good water and coves to explore.

[Jetlink]

Geee thanks. :D

Great pics!!!!!

I'd say Centerhill for next years, close to both the north and south, and good water and coves to explore.

Would that increase the chances of a repeat appearance from you?

[haugy]

Would that increase the chances of a repeat appearance from you?

Greatly increase.

[ckracing]

Cumberland x2!

[TitanTn]

Greatly increase.

After much deliberation the committee has agreed that it's in the best interest of the group if we meet at Harrison Bay again.

<wink> No decisions have been made for next year.

Definitely plan on next year! Will plan on a new ignition, afraid protec may be dead.

Gogger, I'm with you, feel like we missed a ton. We might of been the shortest stay but we feel extra bad about Mrs. Googer, she was the first person to say hi. Is she out for the season? Give us a good ending.

We go to the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow at a spine clinic. It sounds like she will be in a brace for about 6 weeks. Asked her if she was going to be done boating for the year or if she was going to be tough and go boating. She says she will be out on the water soon. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Sending good vibes her way. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet her. I hope she can at least enjoy some time to relax soon.

So glad you both could come. What a gorgeous Comp! Thanks for making the trip and keep us updated as to how the ignition replacement goes.

Good luck to Mrs. Gogger! All the pics sure make it look fun...

Thanks Titan, I have to admit it was quite a natural rush to run the lake with that many skier choice boats. Kinda felt like we owned the lake. Will definitely keep all posted on the final ignition choice. Keep an eye out for another post after some research and a call to Flowery Branch. Just trying to stay impartial till I've checked a few options.

Just an update on Mrs. Gogger. We visited an Orthopedic surgeon today and he said she has a fractured L1 Vertebrate. Can't do much except for pain meds and a back brace. Won't really heal, just has to ride it out while the muscles around it adapt. If it gets any worse she may have to have some type of cement injected into the bone to stabilize it. After that spinal surgery. We are hoping for the brace to do it's job. He says no boat for 3 months. We decided she can boat, just on smooth water though.

We hope the best for her (and you). 3 months no boating in you neck of the woods means down until next season, but I would be very careful if you do go out since we would sure like to hang out at the next Supra reunion. Best of luck.

Excellent video. My only critique is that you didn't get the tantrum I threw down.

Temper tantrum?

Looks like a Barrel Roll to me.

Gogger, was it just that she was sitting with her back to the bow that was the problem? Then a big wave came in? I'm just trying to learn so it never happens on our boat.

One sweet video ngvachris. Did you have some schooling on that or what?
12 pages on this thread and counting. Keep it coming!

Well we hit a rogue wake. Two cruisers were moving out sending out some big wakes, and we hit where they were criss crossing. However, I believe the way she was sitting didn't help the situation. She was facing rearward, and in that position the cushion only comes part way up the so I think that contributed to the injury to the lower back. Pretty sure if she had been sitting in the bow facing forward she would not have been injured so badly. Riding in the bow is usually the roughest place to ride anyways. And I was thinking that about the time the injury occurred. Just wish I had stopped and had her move sooner.

I would say definitely face forward sitting up there when underway and if it is really rough water, move to the stern.
