We are in, the forecast looks awesome sunny and 81

 

[sstegh]

We're in. Can't wait to meet everyone. I'd love to try surfing. I jumped in the river last weekend (Meramec); I don't know if I can do that again.... Water temp was 66. We will have our two kids with us as well. Daughter is 9 and son is 14.

on Saturday should we call Mels and let them know that we have a large group heading towards them.

if you've never launched from Eagle it will cost you $10 to launch any additional car $3 Park

we will also have both of our boys 6 and 3

Does Mel's have enough dock space for 8 boats?

 

[jcyamaharider]

6 boats confirmed right now. Mark and my wife are both on the list since they are registered on the board. Mels has enough dock space but one boat will have to park on the higher dock. I can take that one. @sstegh you are more than welcome to hop aboard and try out wake surfing we will have plenty of room, but just remember....you are considered ballast first....then friends. So don't be alarmed if I instruct you to sit in a certain spot...lol.

Got the board modded!!

If

Does Mel's have enough dock space for 8 boats?

Not sure most will fit it's pretty long if not we can tie up next to other boats like we do when tie up to a floating island right ? Is that legal ?
