Roger Man.... I did appreciate the call but hated the news Brother. But.. for sure we will have to keep an eye on that ticket you have purchased and we will put it to good use. Corn freezes too....(hint)...and travels well in cooler luggage like you know I travel with.
Just talked with NY Terry and he made it out of the Buffalo NY area just fine yesturday ....and is now in KY...about 3 hours away from my home....so...things are looking good for Terry.
Helped Jeff and Cathy pull their boat Sunday morning...and will link with them enroute on Wednesday.
Picking up BBQ in the morning and going to Mom's to hook up C-Byrd.
Playing phone message tag with Rick and Donna.... and will continue till I hook up with a human.
Really looking forward to this. See Yall soon

Bonnie..... at Kodak...
Byrdman has Terry man in captivaty. The bail bondsman was really pretty to us this morning and let us out in time to head south for the gathering. Do not worry.... If Terry can not pick you up at the airport on Thursday, we have met some troopers who also like boats and will get you from the airport to the Gathering.
Looking forward to meeting you and see you soon.

I arrived in Albany, Ga. this morining at 5:30 AM and my brother and his kids put a Honda 10hp kicker on the back of Papillon and is in the process of loading food stuffs and the kitchen sink on board. If she sinks, you will all know that you should not add the kitchen sink. We will be hitting the water around noon at Bainbridge, Ga. on the Flint River and lock through this afternoon to the Apalatchicola River if all goes as planned. Looking foward to seeing y'all soon. _________________ Mike Taylor

You might say a prayer for the other C-Brats when this redneck rookie comes bouncing in to the party. I'm sure someone will show me how you drive a boat The wife did buy some big fenders. They look good on'er too. (C-Pearl...the boat) Got the Sattelite TV and crisps for the Auburn game Saturday. |

Well, we are back home, boat cleaned and boy did we ever have a blast.
It was our first gathering and what a gathering it was! The food was great, the scenery was awesome and the company, outstanding. A big thanks to Marc and Anita (Wefings), John and Sherrie, our gracious hosts and Byrdman for all the hard work(and the BarBQ). It was so nice to put some faces with the C-Brat names and I am sure we can speak for everyone in saying a good time was had by all. Pictures to follow shortly!

I have to agree what a great time! I'll try and get the photos up tomarrow. John and Sherry's house is truely a work of art. They were able to host over 50 people under the roof of their barbeque privillion, park a bunch of RV's, Cars/SUV's launch boats and dock about 15 C Dories and similar boats!
What a great bunch of people.
We came directly home--about 200 miles on the water in less than 10 hours--3 of it after dark. Thanks to all who made it happen! _________________ Bob Austin

Many, many thanks to organizer extraordinaire Byrdman, Mark and Anita of Wefings, and hosts John and Sherry, who all spent the weekend and many hours leading up to it hard at work making it wonderful for the rest of us. All the while making everyone feel they were enjoying it too. The essence of gracious hospitality. Patty and I really enjoyed our first C-Dory gathering and meeting all who were there. _________________ Skip & Patty

Byrdman the omelette man (delicious), Marc and Anita, John and Sherry and the Wefings crew. A big thanks from Kay and I. Your hospitality was overboard! Our first gathering was a great time for sure. A quite impressive spread of great food, a fantastic place and a bunch of super nice people all drawn together over some unique boats. Wished we had more time to swing by the shop and take a look around. _________________ Chris |
