I would love to make it, especially with the new Ranger...but...that weekend, for 11 years, is the Rock Hall Fallfest, an event i founded and run every year...25 bands, 56 crafts, 25 food vendors, waterfront and land activity...6,000 people last year. I'd love to ask for a "weekend off" and motor on down, but the committee would kill me...

[/b]Hello everyone !
I talked to Carrie today and we were running a few new ideas around, like maybe a Pig Pickin instead of a "catered" meal. Still having the pot luck Friday night. Maybe a Sunday brunch before everyone takes off..? I am sure we are doing the poker run unless gas just goes completely outta site. LOL Oh and different entertainment this year for sure. LOL I believe some of you offered up ah..playing a flute and maybe drums..? We will do our best since we don't have Tom to come lead us down here in Kazoo playing.Just thought I'd up date you on our ideas. See some of you soon at the Bay ! Very Happy

Well poody! I'd signed up for this gathering, but just found out that my 30 year reunion is the same weekend, so I'll be missing the gathering AGAIN this year.

Sheila and I are new 22 Cruiser owners. We bought "Pegasus" from Carrie & Gene late last year. We plan to attend and are looking forward to meeting everyone! We live near Wilmington and will probably stay a few extra days at the marina to explore the area. Thom

I sure do wish Peggy and I could attend this...everything i hear is good...and i'd be happy to provide some songs and bring the kazoos!

As i said, i am tied up always on that weekend...Rock Hall Fallfest.

But i am trying to figure out a fall cruise that way....we will see.

Best to all

Larry and Tracy,
Remind me of the place of the gathering, the marina name, so i can trace a route from Rock Hall, by water, for future reference.

I know it takes me 8 hours to get to the mouth of the Potomac...

Hi, Don't mean to step on toes here but..it's Whittaker Pointe Marina not Whittaker Creek Marina. They are I believe very close but not the same place.
Tracy Very Happy

You're right Tracy! Whittaker Creek is NOT the same place as Whittaker Pointe.

I am in Oriental now, planning to head back to PA on Monday (June 23rd). Taking my C-Dory back to PA for a few months, but will be back in Oriental for the gathering.
