I really feel awful about saying that we aren't going to be able to attend the Sequim CBGT, but I feel awful...literally. I've caught something and can't see myself making everyone else sick (that's the altruistic side) or boating for 2+ hours to get there (that's the selfish side).

Have fun, I'm with you all in spirit.

Our plans may have changed. Suffice it to say Meredith got out of working this weekend by having an unfortunate accident involving a bone in her right hand. She'll do ANYTHING to get out on the boat when it's sunny@! Wink

We MAY be coming over on Saturday.

We're currently in Poulsbo Marina, enjoying the sun, the town and a few cold micro-brews. Heading back to Everett tomorrow, so I'll let you know by tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Tom, Susan, Sarge and family,

We will miss seeing all of you, enjoy the warm weekend. Mark and Meredith, feel free to come on over to Sequim. You know your C-Brat friends will wait on you, hand and foot. Pun intended! Jeff and Sandy, from Ferndale, are our early arrivals, staying at John Wayne marina tonight and moving to the State Park dock tomorrow. You can take Sarge's place and eat the ribs we got for him and his family!

Hope to see you,

Just got home. Did a quick rinse of the boat/trailer, unloaded some items and will re-stock what we need for overnight. We're coming. I did a mix of cojoling, begging, bartering and whining...but Meredith agreed to do the trip. Laughing

Leaving first thing in the a.m. from Everett. Anyone know how long a run, assuming I'm doing 10 knots? I'll giver Roger a call on the cell.

Late post as usual from Crazy Frazey...signed up Tuesday night, have the boat in the driveway tonight, leave tomorrow about 6:30 am and hope to be there and settled before noon. Time to go to bed so I can get up and drive over.

Look forward to seeing everyone!

Safe travels,

John & Amy

Thanks to all for the warm welcome we received when showing up sans boat today for the Gathering. It was nice to be able to put some faces to names and boats. We look forward to see you all again in the future, on the water and at Gatherings.

Chris and Jackie

Just back from Sequim. Wonderful weather and ...as usual...wonderful Brat company. Thanks very much Roger and Janet, Harv and Deena. Even the water was great in both directions. A fine end to the "Official" 2009 PNW CBGT season. Now on to the "unofficial" mini-gatherings.

Well, I can't believe I missed this one again, but at least I'll get to see some pics (please!).

Wow! What a fun-filled weekend. Thanks to the Sequim Posse, Harvey and Deena of Sleepy-C and Paul and Verla of JC Lately for all the help. Special thanks to Chris and Sharon of Second Love, honorary C-Brats for their support and help. Chris has already alerted me to a breaking After CBGT Story! We'll wait for fotos of this one but it involves a wet C-Brat!

The meals together, dinners and todays breakfast were awesome. So, back to the diet! The fellowship of C-Brats is truly priceless. Thanks so much to each family who traveled long distances to attend. John & Amy got the long distance award for coming from Tigard, OR, a 5 hour drive, to launch nearby and boat in to the event. Relative newbies, Mark & Meredith of AuKai boated the farthest from Everett. Meredith sporting her new cast to attest to the fact that Brats will go to extremes to get off work and attend these events!

I, personally , have accomplished my goals for the boating year. Worn my Keen sandals every day since June 15, except for Church on Sundays, and attending all 8 CBGTs in the Great pacific Northwest. We're looking forward to next year already with plans forming for a trip to the West Coast of Vancouver Island and to a few of the lakes of Eastern WA and ID.

We'll see you all at the Boat Show in Seattle.

Roger & Janet

Roger and Janet - Sorry we missed it. We had to run out to Neah Bay this weekend to retrieve my boat (I moored it out there since July). I couldn't resist fishing out there so I wound up driving past the Sequim gathering to get to my boat and the offshore coho. On the bright side, the ocean did reward me with about 30lbs of coho fillets from just the four fish we were allowed to keep on Sat. Maybe we'll make it next year. Did anyone at the gathering fish this year? It should have been good.

What a Great Weekend. Thanks to everyone for coming and sharing in the good times. There were boat tours, dock discussions, training seminars, safety workshops, cool pet tricks, flashlight competitions, good food and excellent weather.

And yes, Roger, C-Daisy did go fishing and caught two fish, (Karl will have to fill in the details here).

Thanks Roger and Janet for arranging the Sequim Bay Yacht Club meeting room for the pot luck Sat night. Thanks to Matt Guernsey for bringing really cool C-Dory prizes. (hats, T-shirts and Vests) and the key floats. Thanks to Paul and Verla for helping with transportation. Thanks to Dan and Tanya for the help with the West Marine gift bags. Thanks to Jeff and Sandy for helping with the transportation too. And, thanks to everyone for just being such great friends.

We had a very good time and are planning the same again next year, start planning, and keep that second weekend in Sept clear so we can see you all again.

Glad you all came and hope everyone gets home safe, (there are some who went north to the islands for a few days before returning home -- Chester, C-Renity and maybe JC Lately).

Thanks, guys, for letting me join you for dinner and nice conversation. It was good to see two of the four boats I have sold this year at the event.
