Ok, so ever thought I made a reservation all most a year ago on the phone and called again a couple of months ago, when I went in to the Marina Office today to take care of other business I discovered that the marina office ( under new direction) did not have the C-brats reserved for the weekend of the 28th or any other day for that matter. Shocked Shocked Shocked


So after much talking and panic ( not by me) we do have the dock for the weekend of the 28th but I need all those attending to do a few things.

1) Call the marina at 360-466-3118 and make a reservation as a member of the C-brats group. You can pay them now or when you get there but you have to call now to get a spot.

2) If you have not signed up yet do so now here at the Cbrats. LINK

Susan and I will be getting their friday morning or thursday night.

There is a new Italian restaurant in town that my mother said was very good. I plan to eat there on friday night. If others want to join email me and I will see about a group table.

Saturday I plan to go crabbing ( I always plan on it but don't seem to go) on Don's knotty C. Wink He does not know yet but thats my plan. If any one wants to follow to some local good spots thats great.

Saturday night is dinner. Still working on the BBQ but I will post about that a week before so everyone will know if its cater or a pot luck. Sorry for the late decision but Susans surgery ( shes fine , nothing big ) got in the way of me doing my job as host.

We will not be having prize drawings this year. I was not able to go thru town and guilt, harass or other wise fleece donations from the locals this year.

Sunday morning is just un organized breakfast at the place in town again if any one wants to follow us up. They will just not take reservations , but the food is great.

So in the morning pick up the phone and start calling the marine office.



So now that that is out of the way I think I know the what happen. Ever event that I have been to or organize has been on the system of I call and make the reservation for the whole group and the group pays or registers when they get there. The new office boss seemed to be the type that wants to know who what when and where before hand. She wanted us to have the reservation AND have every body signed up in advance. As an example she stated that another group is coming on the afternoon of the 28th, large yacht club, but she only has three boats preregistered. She was not planning on holding any spots for them if they don't call ahead. Well Like I said most groups are more of a come as you are when you can type out look. I'm afraid that a bunch of boats are going to show up late afternoon of the 28th and not have a spot with their club if they don't call in ahead. One over organized office worker expecting the rest of the boating world to switch to her out look. She was nice and she worked with us today to solve our problems so I am not bagging on her ,but it took my normal good charm and force of will to get the job done and the spaces saved. Rolling Eyes

So lets have a great event.

Sounds like a textbook CBGT! Perfect. Tom, you have pulled off an excellent recovery from someone else's fumble. Great job and thank you very much. We might start calling you Ruthie!

Well Ruthie is a fine looking woman but I have managed to get us Two nights for the price of one as a " were sorry for the mix up" out of the marina. So make sure they have not charged you for two night.
