Glad to see that the site is working and that we are able to make specific slip reservations and payment on-line with the Port of Friday Harbor. You can still wait and hail in to 66A when you arrive for a slip but why wait! Make a payment to the Port for a slip today. You still need to PM Colleen and I on DayBreak to get the group code for registration. Having this code is what keeps the public from taking our block of 30 slips set aside for the gathering.

RESERVATION INFO:
• Go to: www.portfridayharbor.org and click on the Make Reservation Button
• Choose the Dates: Between May 9th, Departing May 12th
• Enter Vessel Dimensions (rounded up to whole numbers)
• Enter the Group Code: (PM us on 'DayBreak' and we will give you this code)
• Finish the reservation process through to payment

-Robbi, sorry to hear that you will not be able to make the gathering this year. We will miss having you but understand that with recent surgery, you need more time for healing and physician follow-up. Hope you are able to join us next year.

-Patrick, I posted the link below for the plan to head up to Princess Louisa Inlet post gathering. With the success of last year's PLI trip, what an amazing opportunity for C-Brats members to continue on together for fun and activity immediately following this year's FH gathering. Colleen and I hope to join the group on this.

Two Lucky Fish +1 will be there with Tim & Tristan (age 11). Any other younger C-Brats attending? Might be nice to tie up nearby one-another.

There's a better than even chance a big green boat will make an appearance.

And, I've been told there's a non-zero chance the former owner might show up as well.

Sorry Gary for not being able to make this one, enjoyed last year's immensely. I especially enjoyed the demonstration of your folding kayak (or boat) and its sea-worthiness. This season's event falls exactly on top of my close nephew's graduation from Montana State University, which we scheduled over a year ago.

Steve and Lorenza, sorry to hear that you are not able to attend this year. Enjoy your nephew's graduation as that is a once in a lifetime event. It was fun having you both at the gathering last year. Hope it works out for you to attend next year.

Wow, the possibility of our very own Will and Mike joining us at FH. Hope to see you there to share on a fun time. Gary

Robbi, say it isn't so! I was so looking forward to seeing you--and your new boat.
But I understand. I'll just have to make a point of motoring down to South Sound for a meetup there. Maybe Blake Island, or Jarrell Cove.

And Pat and Patti, I'm sorry we won't see you again this year--at Friday Harbor, anyway. Maybe later in the summer we can stir up a mini-rendezvous. (I've never boated to Blaine).

Will and Mike, you say? Do you mean the 90's sitcom?

Gary here. We are just two weeks away (14 days) from our annual gathering! We have had a few members sadly report that they will not be able to attend this year's gathering but hope to make it next year. As of now, we have 36 vessels that plan to be there. Two of these are larger vessels (non C-Dory boats) that will have a slip on G-Dock.

As a reminder, you can be assigned a specific slip now and make payment so that you don't need to report to the port office upon arrival. Sign-up with the Port of Friday Harbor today. www.portfridayharbor.org How nice to be able to take your assign slip upon arrival and start enjoying the gathering! Slips are filling up with this method and so go to the bottom of this post and click on "pm" to get your code for a reservation. Your message can be as simple as, "please give me the code" and I will send it to you. This extra step is necessary because we have limited slips available on H-Dock. You can still wait and call in to the Port upon arrival as this slip assignment method will still work.

Looking forward to the event and to seeing you all again soon.

There are some who have not been able to make a slip reservation on-line even when using the correct group code. If one enters an arrival and departure date other than May 9 to May 12, the system will send back a message of "No space is available for the dates and dimensions you requested but Friday Harbor Marina may be able to still accommodate you." Some folks wish to arrive at FH a day or two before the events starts and that is OK. When you come in, take your reserved slip before May 9 but go to the office and pay for the days prior to the event start. That way you can have your slip early. Hope this helps. Gary

Hi all, I’m coming over from Idaho for the get together and wondering where to launch, preferably by hoist to keep the trailer out of salt water, and then a place to park my truck and trailer from 5/8 to 5/16. I have a 22’ Cruiser.

Cap Sante in Anacortes has a sling and parking. See you in Friday Harbor
