Speaking of dock space, should we be making our own reservations as we did last year? Actually, I just remembered, it's first come first serve, so guess no reservations needed. Other than to let you know we plan on using dock space. We do plan on coming in a few days early and spending several days afterwards. Hope to arrive Sunday the 5th and then depart no later than the morning of the 15th. I'll use the same ramp I did last year at Ed Stone. That worked out well! Now lets pray for no major storms between Wisconsin and Florida! Colby |

Hi all. Tom Herrick and I had a wonderful time and got motivated at the Appalachicola event. We plan to attend the Hontoon event... We HOPE to bring our boat, which is undergoing a length-change operation from 22 to 28 feet. So am I signed up? Not sure how this works... LL |

Lori-Lee, You may have missed the tutorial at the Apalachicola gathering...but Tom did show at least one other couple how to sign up.
Go to Forum, event sign up. Click on the St. John's River Gathering, and then "subscribe". That puts you screen name on the list.
Great to see both of you at Aplachcicola! _________________ Bob Austin

Hi CA and Bettie
Congratulations on your "new to you" C-Dory. Have you come up with a name for it yet? Joyce and I have put you down on our list so you are "good to go". However if you could also sign up on the official Event Sign up it would be appreciated. To do so go to the home page and look under the C-Brats. You will see there the title Event Signup. Click on that and under events find the St Johns river list and click "join".
It took me a while to figure it out the first time. I do send a PM out to everyone on the sign up a few weeks before the gathering. It will be fun to talk and see your new boat. Make sure you plan some extra days to explore!
Again CONGRATULATIONS......Tom |

Anyone bringing a CD 16 to Hontoon Island or have extensive experience with one?
In my younger days I slept aboard a trailerable sailboat, but now I travel in a small motorhome and just want something like the CD 16 Angler to explore places where the motorhome can't go. I made a mistake in my last boat purchase and want some expert advice this time.
With a little encouragement, I will park my motorhome in a nearby campground and bring my dinghy (4 wheel type) to the river for a visit and an education.

Ron unless that 4whl vehicle can float you will not be coming to Hontoon Island . I would park the car/truck at Hontoon Island entrance (ferry boat over to Hontoon Island )and enjoy the camaraderie of the C-Brats and probably get to see all the c-Dory's that they make . See you there Jim _________________ retired 8/08 from UAL, still working pt tm

Thanks Jim,
I was aware of the limited access to Hontoon island. That's why I said I would take the dinghy to the RIVER. If the ferry landing has plenty of room to park a small motorhome and there is a possibility of bringing a cd-16 home with me, I will come without the dinghy.

Hi Ron
Sure hope you can make it to Hontoon Island for the gathering. The island park does allow tent camping and has a few rustic cabins that they rent. They can be reserved online. They do not allow RV camping in the parking lot for the ferry but you can park your "dingy". We have had 16 foot C-Dorys at every one of our gatherings so far. They are soooooooooooo cute! Cliff on the Ocklawaha Queen has been there every year. But I did not see his name on the sign up list yet. Cliff camps on his 16 a lot and he's made a bunch of modifications to make it meet his unique needs. You can learn a LOT from him.
Do a search for the "Ocklawaha Queen" and PM him and I'm sure he can help you more. If I can be of any help PM me.
Everyone
Hontoon suffered little damage from the last Hurricane and is 100% now. Water levels are great and the staff at the park is looking forward to our visit. We still have room for some more sign ups.
There are a couple new places to eat on the river. I'll test them out soon.
See you at Hontoon.....Tom |
