Just a few pics of our club's Sunday rally from Ft. Morgan, Alabama to Dauphin Island, Alabama. Had about 28 total and approx. 50 members. Rallied to the ferry landing, 35 min. bay cruise, lunch at the Pelican Reef Rest., a little more rallying and home. Full day of pleasure.
Of course, the coldest day of the winter down here. Only 40 degrees and wind blowing 20-25 mph.

 

November 12, 2006, Jamestown to Surry VA ferry, we had 77

wet day for us too

 

Waiting for it to warm up abit. Need to take the car to a car wash and get the salt water off it. Man, with the wind I think it was like 20 degrees and WET. Fun time all the same.
Looks like you had more than we did. I think alot of people pooped out due to the cold.

 

We're doing another Minis on the Ferry charity run to Surry VA on the 24th Mar 2012 for the American Cancer Society (hrmini.com)

 

Great cause. My wife is HR manager for Kaiser Realty down here and she heads alot of bike runs, runs, etc. and the 3 day walk as well.
Plus, cramming the ferry is lots of fun.

 

I saw your FB post. Our ferry here in Jax is like a 5 min ride across the river not near as cool but it is about the same size as the ferry you were on.

 

Capt bj had the big ferry boat. They hauled 77 mini's. The one we had only holds about 30.
Weird we had the rallies on the same day, different locations.
Porthos, I see you're in Jacksonville. I remember when I was in the military I was stationed in Omaha, Nebr. but took a couple of TDY assignments to Jacksonville.
Back in 1969 or 1970. Anyway, I remember having a '69 VW with abarth headers, and dual Weber carbs, wide tires and rims with spacers, hurst short throw shifter, really cool in it's day. Anyway, driving on the beach one Sat. and wasn't paying attention to the tide and got caught with my pants down. Flooded the car and ever since that day, it did nothing but rust.
That's that story.
