New York City Powerboat Poker Run 2009

NYC Checkpoints and Patriotic Parade

The Festivities begin Friday afternoon, June 19th and the 1st party begins at 6 pm.

There will be a mandatory Captain’s Meeting, Saturday morning at 11 AM with a 12 noon start. Remember, no drinking of alcohol in boats while boats are being operated and maintain a zero policy…until we are back on the dock…then we ROCK!

Checkpoints and co-ordinates:
1. Ossining Boat and Canoe Club N41 09.5 latitude W73 52.3 longitude
2. Peekskill 45’ Houseboat/Bayliner N41 17.3 latitude W73 56.4 longitude
3. Haverstraw Marina N41 13.7 lat W73.57.53 long
4. Liberty Landing Marina N40 42.64 latitude W74 02.59 longitude

Please fly and American Flag during the PATRIOTIC PARADE TO THE BRIDGE…at 10 knots or less…mandated by the Coast Guard and Homeland Security!

STAY BEHIND THE OFFICIAL PACE BOAT at 10 knots or less until I drop the Green Flag at the George Washington Bridge. The “New York” side of the Hudson River is for Commercial traffic, stay to the West/New Jersey side. As we leave the docks, allow time for the OFFICIAL PACEBOAT to get into position, on the NYC side of the Hudson River. Stay to the PORT SIDE OF THE PACEBOAT…there may be an international swim race around Manhattan that morning…lets give them some room.

As we travel from CP #1 (Ossining) to CP#2 (Peekskill), keep the WHITE BUOYS on your Starboard side as we pass the Indian Pt. Nuclear Power Station…if you go inside those buoys, you are going to intercepted by the NAVY…with guns drawn!

If you miss a checkpoint, courtesy card(s) will be given to you back at Liberty Landing Marina. All cards must be turned in by 5 PM. The AWARDS will follow at 6 PM.
 
As usual it will be a fantastic event.....it should be quite an experience for some of the newer drivers to be side by side with.... Richie Powers. They will be able to see first hand what a real pro is all about.

Have fun, enjoy and everyone be safe, so you can come back next year, I'm sure Billy will be plannng something even bigger and better.....as he usually does.
 
5 more days!!! :)

I spent 6 hours detailing the boat Saturday afternoon....I'm pretty tired but the boat is ready to go!

Pray to the sun gods!

With you there! This weather has been terrible. We'll be getting the Sutphen ready all this week and arriving Friday. See everyone there!
 
Billy, the boat that we raced and won the 1982 Championship NPBA just went 106 miles to Bimini and back and took first place in B class, twin engine outboard. We look forward to covering your event next week for good old times. We'll see you all Friday morning. All photos will be uploaded every night. We will be shooting video and taking stills.

Joe already told me what he's bringing and I'll be drinking it out of a mickey d's cup just so you know who did it !!! Paybacks are a b*** . :26:
 
How is the ramp over by the park? Are there actaully docks there to tie your boat to after you launch? Looks like I am coming in solo on Friday afternoon so need to figure out how this is going to work.

The ramp is pretty decent. I remeber a small dock but the day I had to pull out there I had someone helping me. Either myself or one of my crew can always come with you to the ramp and help out if need be. Only thing I ask if you could give us a lift over to the hotel to check-in! :)

I'll PM you my cell number so we can stay in touch.

Frank , Make sure you have plenty of beer over there this year on friday afternoon.

We're not bringing any, John (huster) told me you were going to be supplying some for us! :26:

We have 6 so just bring double/triple whatever you're bringing and we will be square from last year....:)

Thanks in advance!:seeya:

Thanks Frank...my bro might be able to make it out early enough, but if not I will probably need some help. Either way I've got room in the truck to get you back to hotel for check in.
