Shakedown Cruise 2008–Success
Shakedown Cruise-Newport, RI
"Worth
the wait..." that was the opinion of everyone
that went on the 2008 Shakedown Cruise. Because
of one of the wettest springs in memory, we had
to postpone the May 4th event. The weather gods
were on our side for the new date. We met at the
usual Building 19 launch location with clear,
blue skies. About 15 SSCC Vettes were
present. 
Due
to a conflict, our original leader, Jack
Donnelly had to relinquish his duties. Joe
Teamer and Rodney Collymore stepped up and did a
great job of guiding us to Newport.
Our next stop was the service plaza on Route 24. Waiting for us were over 30 Corvettes from Eastern Mass CC and Corvettes United and more SSCC members. It was an impressive sight. After lots of picture taking, checking out all the Vettes and talking with the assembled crowd, we were off the our third meeting place.
We arrived at the Fall River Plaza to fine more than twenty Corvettes from the Cape Cod CC. We spent time chatting and took a group picture before departing on our last leg to Newport. You can download a high resolution copy of the photo here.
Joe
Teamer kept the speed reasonable for the long
line of Vettes and we exited the highway in
Tiverton to meander our way on scenic roads,
past fabulous homes and beautiful vistas. Joe
was always aware of the Corvettes behind him and
he stopped anytime we had a possibility of
loosing someone. Our final stop was the Atlantic
Beach Club for a scrumptious brunch. Many
members toured the mansions, shopped and visited
the wineries.
