Just returned from Lake Norman, NC and boy was it worth it (780 miles RT from central KY).

We had 4 boats and 9 attendees.

The weather was disgustingly nice, sunny, hot and 84. The water was warm, upper 70's but refreshing after a swim.

Several people reached out to say they were disappointed to miss us but look forward to next year. Our local host, Tom Greco is looking at dates.

Is there any chance of this event happening in 2024?

I would 100% participate.
