Wefings · From 19 Oct 2012 to 21 Oct 2012 (included)

Time for another installment of the Gulf Coast Gathering ! Same great location as last year with everybody welcome . Ill need to get an idea of how many rooms to reserve around town and as usual we will have food, fun , great company , great day trips .
We are looking forward to seeing our regular friends and our new ones and future ones as well
We will have boat space and slips in the city marina as well as Water Street Hotel available . Make those reservations as soon as you can as we like to back to back with the Blues Festival . Sometimes I can borrow a band or two................

Looking forward to it ;
If the Site Gods can make us a sign up sheet , we would be appreciative !

Bob and Marie will be there--may even have some of that frozen Spaghetti left!

Seriously--this is a great gathering and great venue, hosted by a great dealer!

Thanks--those bands were great!

Hey gang, instead of quietly passing the hat or paying $50.00 for a T-shirt, lets just drop a check up front to help Marc pay for this bash. Dr. Bob, you want to be treasurer again and set the price?

In the past we have passed the hat. Contributions have been $1 to $100, depending on the ability and value perceived. Yes, Marc is a dealer, ... But there are a lot of expenses which are behind the scenes. I would rather leave it voluntary. For us it is great " value" with great meals and commradery.

I hope that more boats come to the venue, rather than staying at the marinas. There is lots to learned by looking at others boats. Those who come to the club house get more out of the gathering.

We will be there with "Thisaway", weather & health permitting. We will leave Pensacola several days ahead of the gathering. There good places to leave your rigs, including our yard. There is a new ramp near the Lillian Bridge, which we use.

gee whiz, you would think that with two six-day stretches of scheduled time off every month I would have connected on ONE of my desired c-brats outtings this year...but I have struck out on Mississippi River, North Carolina, Lake Powell, and now Gulf Coast cruise.

I gotta figure this schedule out somehow...

Marc,

Are there going to be rooms available at the Water Street Hotel/Marina?

Currently, the online reservations state that no rooms are available for that timeframe.

Thanks a bunch,

Norwalk Bob
