Schedule works for me - looking forward to it. I'll have a grill on board which anyone can feel free to use, and extra cooler space.

Steve, thanks for your generosity. I'll be in touch regarding launching, etc. Are you going to link up with the group at Centerville sometime Thursday the 16th and overnight there, or come down on Osprey Friday morning?

Anyone know what time we'll be entering the lock?

We're good with the Fri-Mon schedule, too.

Steve - I'd like to take you up on your offer at your place. Got room for a 25 on the pier?

ALMAS ONLY,
Joan and I will leave our home on Friday and make the 1:30 locking through Deep Creek Lock. We have to take care of Joan's 90 year old mother and an overnighter for us is usually a stretch. Fortunately, we are flying in Joan's long time girlfriend from Chicago to assist us while we are underway with the C-Brats.

SKIMMER,
You certainly are welcome to park and moor at the Baum's Marina. Joan said that because this may be the future home of SKIMMER, it may need to rest against this floating pier to see if she likes it.

For assistance with putting your boats in the water at the local ramp and for the parking, just give me a call when time permits.
Best regards,
Steve Baum

OSPREY: Steve, I'll be in touch shortly, and promise not to back my trailer through your shed, or onto the dock! Actually, if you'd swing the dock 90 degrees counterclockwise, it could probably take the trailer and my truck. Gotta love that gem.

DELFIN: I can always use another t-shirt (l or xl), so if there's enough interest, I'm in. I note that OSPREY will lock through at 1330, and am wondering if the Centerville group plans on that time too, or will go at 1100?

ALMAS ONLY,
As I remember, the previous Centerville C-Brat Group locked through Deep Creek at 11:00.
Typically at the NC Visitors center, we had a pot luck for Hors d'oeuvre before diner and sometimes hot dogs (or similar) on the grill as a group.
In Elizabeth City, we typically had diner at a local restaurant as a group. Groupers on the wharf at E-City has a great view, but the food is just okay and the prices should bring not only better food, but also better service.
At Coinjock we typically had lunch and diner as a group at the marina restaurant (their food is very good and very reasonable).
Best regards,
Steve Baum

OSPREY: Thanks Steve, that's just the info I need. David

It's a possibility, but if she doesn't make the trip she can still enjoy the shirt.

Neal, sorry to hear that you can't make the trip, but Joan and I wish the best for you and Jeanne.
To all others that are signed up for the trip, I will call and make reservations for our stay at Pelican Marine in Elizabeth City and our stay at Coinjock at Coinjock Marine. For those putting in at Centerville, please call and make arrangements for your vehicle, trailer and boat.
Best regards,
Steve Baum

Loopers,
Today I made tentative arrangements for our group to moor at Pelican Marine in E-City and definite arrangements for us to moor at Coinjock Marine in Coinjock.
Joan and I look forward to seeing all of you!
Best regards,
Steve Baum

Steve:

Thanks for making these arrangements. I'm looking forward to the trip, and am looking at launching on either Tuesday the 14th or Wednesday the 15th, depending on the support needs of a USCG Auxiliary activity here. You going to be around those days?
