CW (Clinton) – I was informed by Terri that she is not going to make the Cathlamet CBGT with me, so I will be going by myself. I have been thinking of putting in around the Longview area and going by boat. I don’t see you signed up for the event but thought I would ask if you you would like to go with me. You can’t share the bunk with me but with the extension there is room for a cushion and sleeping bag on the deck.

Getting excited for the trip along with seeing familiar and new faces!!!

Plan to launch on Friday night then boat over Saturday morning...did I mention I'm getting excited.

Safe boating and a fun time for all!

Crazy John Frazey (& Amy too)

We're about half way up the river and the kids are watching a movie. Nice evening. Good water and not much breeze.

Hey! Where's everybody at? I thought we were having a CBGT here. B~C throws a party and nobody shows up? Humph.That's a mite queer.

It's a peaceful beautiful evening here at the C-lamet dock. Nice ride up too. See ya tomorrow.

Mike, we may shoot up and back on Sunday, early, in the Bartender (aka Surf Scoter). Got a must-do deal in Astoria Saturday night, or we would be there on Saturday; have not slept in the V-berth yet.

Been mooching good advice off you C-Brats for two years; about time I bought coffee or whatever.

Not a C-Dory, but got that dory flare in the hull. Here's what we look like: http://www.pbase.com/bartenderdave/image/92098085

cool boat Dave, I look forward to seeing it.
Mike, you're a day early, don't level the town before we all get there.

I'm sure looking forward to visiting with old faces and new....I'll be rolling in before dark tomorrow

Yeah Ken it is a day early but we had slack water and a little incoming tonight. In the morning it is a 9' tide exchange and we would have been going against it. With your beer and M's wine on board the boat is pretty heavy so an extra night's moorage is cheaper than the extra fuel.

Dave - we'll be pulling out Sunday morning but with the crew I got it probably won't be early. Hope to see you.

Warren,

Don't know the Surf Scooter. Surf Scoter is just the name of the vessel I own. One less "o" -- name of a goofy sea bird that likes to mess around in waves. Pretty common on the coast. If you ever get down to the Cove in Seaside (Avenue U exit off 101) you can see some, most days.

I took a pic of the TyBoo all alone at the dock but I can't figure out how to upload it off this phone. The sky is clear and the sun is blazing. B~C done good on the weather. Wow is it nice.

Baskin in the sun...probably makin Joan and Jim jealous LOL

Is there still a plan to make a run out to Astoria? I think we might just try to do some sturgeon fishing...would be nice to catch dinner! Laughing

C y'all! 45 minutes to outahere and off to get the boat!

Cathlamet was great once again. Summertime weather and wonderful people. The TyBoo with crew is heading downriver right now. Almost to the fog of Skamokawa (which is a Clatsop Indian word meaning "smoke on the water") then around the bend to home. We had a great trip. Thanks everyone!

Hey all, we sure had a fine time...and thanks Mike for the wine. We got some quality visiting in and got to look at some nice boats.....between having a good time, and finding out that the boat & trailer still work, I dun up and signed up for the J. Cove adventure Smile

On the way home I was thinking next year of maybe starting off in Warrenton, or, St Hellens, and then cruising up to Cathalamet, or, Beacon Rock, for the Sat. night potluck...food for thought

Thank you Ken and Marge -- another great gathering and C-Brats are absolutely some of the nices folks on this planet -- thanks to everyone! We had a wonderful time -- only could've been better by being longer Wink

John, we'll be makin those signs real soon, I hope and we'll be sure to get a pic posted when the time's appropriate Smile

We made it home, boat's bathed and in her home...even got the truck washed up Thumbs Up
