Our yearly Memorial Day battle, should have 14-15 ships on the water. We're not too far from you eastern guys in KY & GA drive up and battle! http://www.mwci.org/eventinfo.shtml?113_11_15_39
I think what Bob is trying to say is we are _NOT_ to far for you folks in KY and GA to drive up and battle This is an awesome event. Plus home of what is probably some of the the best battle chow in the country. Disclaimer: The best dining experience over a battle weekend is the Brouhaha hands down. Po-boy's the size of a human head, Sleazy lounge act at the mexican joint, Gerald grill'n up deer sausage...yum. The single best meal on the road I have ever had, however, is in Farmington, that 16 oz pork steak at the BBQ joint we go to every year is worth the trip alone. Banzai! John
Chase 13 hours is nothing. You have to use the travel math rule to see if the trip is worth it. C+S>=T. That's captains + sorties .+ travel time. For the Tangler it's 14+14 >=26. So you have to go, the math works.
Bob, you forgot the Admiral factor in there, along with weekend chores. Hate to bring it up, but it's a very valid part of the equation.
About a half hour north of Toronto, Ontario. And I was mistaken, only GA battles are further, KY would actually be closer if there were any major events there.
We are working that issue... and should have a battle or two after NATS this year someplace around Louisville or Lexington.
