So! I'm sending off the reservation form along with a $300 deposit. If you have signed up and are NOT planning to be there both nights, please let me know right away which night you'll be there. There are 15 boats on the sign up list, and I'm reserving 20 slips.
Do you think it will work best to send me your payment, or just take care of it at Poulsbo?
Cost for two nights, including party room, is $32.50.

Whatever you want. Send your street address and we'll be happy to send a check or wait until the event and we'll pay then. Whatever is best for you. And thanks for organizing this.

I'll send you some money if you want. I will also bring you my last bottle of Stone Wolf Vineyards Special Limited Edition Barrel Select C-Dory Pinot Noir. All you have to do is share a little with the other ladies, be very careful with the custom label, and return the empty bottle to me.

We will most likely be driving up Saturday morning because the kids have school and I have work on Friday. We will probably be staying Saturday and Sunday nights there. If I am feeling wide awake and everything goes good it is possible that we will drive up Friday night, but we couldn't get there until 9:00 or 10:00, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Thanks for all you do.

OK - I just put you in an envelope.

I can't even spell Pinenot Noear so it will be good to see the wine go to someone who can appreciate it. It's old anyway - 2004 I think. Now if we could just talk Chuckpacific and Wineman into going you might get some fresh stuff.

Hello, I've been lurking on the site (with good intent), and am the new owner of the Helen O (bought from Larry and Helen Stuck down in Cathlamet). I'd like to meet all of you, and this sounds like a good time, . . . could someone dispel my shyness and elaborate on the "goings ons" associated with these not-so-secret gatherings!

thanks,
Paul Stanton

pauls,

Welcome to the site you lucky dog. The Helen O is a beautiful boat, congratulations! I had my eye on that one but it wasn't the right time. As for our "not-so-secret gatherings", they are just a fun opportunity to meet new people, as Pat (Daydream) would say, your new best friends. Everyone I've met at these gatherings has been really nice and welcoming, no need to be shy at all. It's always fun seeing the customizations others have done on their boats and is a good opportunity to "steal" some of their ideas for your own boat. There's usually a dinner on Friday night, a day of cruising or sight-seeing on Saturday and a potluck on Saturday night. I missed last year's Poulsbo gathering but in general, that's been the plan.

Hope to see you in Poulsbo in your new boat. Are you going to rename it?

Definitly a nice boat, I too was lusting after that one. Larry did show you the secret Cdory handshake though, right? As long as you know that you should be fine at the gathering. Laughing

Seriously, congrats on the new boat.

Thanks, I'm feeling the warm welcome already <gr>. I'll look forward to meeting you all -- and see if I can make it to this rendevous!

Chuckpacific and I have considered attending the Puolsbo gathering, but since he is moored on the Columbia and doesn't have a trailer, getting there would be a long cruise.

Is there a Cathlamet gathering in the works??

Paul,

Once you read up on the de-naming ceremony you will also need a bottle of the NW C-Brats official beer to pour over the bow during the ceremony. (You pour just a little from the 22 oz bottle and drink the rest). Usually there is someone there that is the official unofficial reverand of sorts. DaveS or Jim. I am pretty sure Pat/Patti on Daydream will be there. I will instruct him/them to bring an extra bottle for the purpose. Unfortunately I will be away from the Mainland during this event. I really enjoyed last years Poulsbo. You are going to have a blast meeting other brats. I caught my first salmon from your "new" boat in Cathlamet a few years ago. Pat was with me and cought a couple also.
