Drinking is a sport before the run. Bad idea to start the run at the bar after a couple of hours of drinking bloody Mary's. I feel bad for other folks on the lake. An accident and lawsuits just waiting to happen.

I do not drink up others in my family do. so when we go boating they have a drink or two but if I am not there they know to only have a small amount. I wish that everyone that is in control of a boat can either go sober or if they cannot then be smart about the amount the consume.

Last time I went it was a pretty good time but I didn't get far because that's the day I lost one of my engines. Everyone was very friendly and I didn't notice anyone getting out of hand or stupid. Not saying it doesn't happen but I didn't see it that one day.

I hope for everyone's sake that it's different. After my experience I read a lot about different poker/fun runs and most have a no drinking until after the event policy. Many have wrist bands on the driver and if anyone sees them drinking they're automatically dq'd and asked to leave the run. Unfortunately I believe the run starts at a bar a couple of hours before the start of the run. Good luck.

The run will start at Lakeway Marina with breakfast tacos, Bloody Marys,
and Mimosas from 10am to noon. From there, we will make take the scenic
route to the Point Venture Beach for snacks, music and fun. Floateez will
be there showing off some great gear. Food and drinks will be available
for purchase from Vincent. As we get close to 5pm, we will make our way
over to the Gnarly Gar who will be providing live music, great food, and
awesome drinks.

Idunno. Either way, I'm not in. I2D is still at LOTO, and I'm going to Port Aransas for the first time to see some new scenery.
