Hi Bob here is the planed schedule....more to add later.
As far as meals go. Tuesday at 5:15 we will do burgers, hot dogs and everyone can bring a dish to pass at 4:45. wednesday at 5:15 is KFC chicken and rolls night and whatever everyone brings to share at 4:45 pm. I'll have bottled water for all but if you want anything else to drink, bring it along. Food on Thursday is "leftovers" We have not had anyone starve yet!
We have a campfire every evening at dusk. Bring your chairs and enjoy the company of fellow C-brats. 50/50 raffle to benefit the park on Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
Wednesday activities: 8:30 bring items for a silent auction. All proceeds given to the park. Anything laying around home or your boat? Craft items? Just about anything. Auction ends at 2:00
9:00 talk with Dr. Bob -- "What's in your first aid and emergency kits?"
10:00 Show 'n tell Galley Gadgets with Joyce Schulke. Vote on your favorite one shown. There will even be prizes.
Thursday: Nature Island hike with Ranger Naturalist, Tess. 9:30
We will work on getting group leaders to lead cruises daily for those that are unfamiliar with the area. I'll be doing some local runs on the weekend before the gathering. I also plan on traveling north to Palatka after the gathering. There are lots of Springs, side rivers and lakes to explore
Joyce and I were at Hontoon today and the fire 🔥 pit is in. We also drove to DeLeon Springs for pancakes and checked the water level at Ed Stone Park (17 foot clearance). As long as the river stays as it is, Colby, you should be able to go for pancakes with Rosanne.
Till next week....Tom _________________ Tom and Joyce Schulke

Thank you Tom. Count us in our the group going North!
I believe that we will arrive mid day Sunday and launch then--maybe cruise locally that day or to Hontoon, depending on slips available, or over to Hontoon on Monday AM
Looking forward to seeing all! _________________ Bob Austin

I was kind of hoping for a southbound trip after the gathering, but north works well too, since Rosanne hasn't seen those areas. If we go to the Springs with the pancake place, I'll use St. Johns, Norris Dead River, thru Lake Woodruff, over to Deleon Springs. (Same way we went last year when you, Tom, lead us.) Depending on what time we get in to Ed Stone Park, not sure if we'll run up that way Friday when we launch, or wait until Saturday. Then spend the night and Deleon before coming back to Hontoon to get a space early. After the gathering, we'll just hang out as long with you guys as we can, and then turn around when we need to get back to Ed Stone to pull out Monday. Actually Tom, thinking about it, if Deleon Springs is on the radar for the left over group after the gathering, perhaps we'll just come down and check into Hontoon after we put in, and just cruise locally or maybe south before the gathering. I'll check in with you later to see what the plans are. Colby |

Lee Damon came up with this idea for T-Shirts for C-Brats that may want them for the gathering at Hontoon Island. You can order them for $15.00 each. You must contact Lee to order by e-mail no later than noon on Monday. Contact him at Lee@brightproducts.com. Let Lee know what sizes you need. They can be paid for at our C-Brat gathering at Hontoon. Sorry for the late notice but my yahoo account was acting up.... Tom
Lee's got me down for two!

Tom --
What a beautiful t-shirt.
So glad to see that the Gathering is so popular. The St. Johns is certainly one of the finest cruises in North America.
Good on 'ya! _________________ El and Bill (former live-aboards)

Laura Lee and I are sorry to have to bow out of the event. Recovering from two separate eye surgeries and a long bout with the flu have blown our schedules out of the water. It's looking like a good event. Hopefully, we'll make it next year. |

Tom and Laura Lee.....sorry to hear that you will not make it to Hontoon this year. Joyce and I were looking forward to seeing you there but things (like health problems) happen. See you next year!
There are already at least three C-Dory's on the St. John's river....more to come! Tom |

Mary and I plan to drive over to Hontoon on either Tuesday or Wednesday. We have some schedule conflicts but plan to fit Hontoon 'in. Since we won't be in the boat, we'll probably just sleep overnight in the truck (like we did for four months last summer ... long story).
Best,
