OK, it's a wrap. Halcyon is on the trailer heading for Tim's house in Cannon Beach, Helen O is on the trailer heading for Larry's house in Cathlamet, and TyBoo is back at the dock after giving Brock a scenic cruise out to the mouth or the Columbia.

Thanks so much to all the folks who drove so far to make this unofficial CBGT about as official as they get. What a great bunch of people.

There should be lots of pictures coming soon.

WOW! What a great time with all -- the great food, wine and beer was only exceeded by the wonderful people. What a marvelous family, owners of C-Dories are!! Impossible to say thanks to each and every one, but a special thanks to Tim and TyBoo for setting up one of the most wonderful experiences we've had in our lives. El, early this morning, said, with tears welling up in her eyes, "These folks are the greatest friends anyone could ever have -- they're not just friends, they're family. This has been such a wonderful time with such great folks..." Gotta admit, a few tears welled up in my eyes, too -- thanks all of you for such a wonderful, sharing, giving, time together -- a time we'll never forget and can never thank you enough -- this family ain't just a pub -- it's a family!! THANKS El and Bill on Halcyon

OK you all,
The post above this one above by Mr. Fisherman is from El & Bill on our computer so it finishes up with Tim And JUDY & the Lynn Marie, it's not! That's from Bill & El and Bill also sat at our machine and posted all the Pics. that say Lynn Marie. The credit is again back to Bill who push the button, not just the camera but also the computer. There are more in here and I will try to post them after a meeting tomorrow night.
Till then a very big thank you to all who came from near and far to make this gathering so special once again. The local C-Fleet was and is impressed with the warmth and friendships that have come out of this group of people who start out sharing little more than a funny little boat. Who would have thought so much would have come from so little when they layed up that first hull so long ago. What a wonderful little boat thats let us share so very much. Amazing.

Twas a very good weekend for sure !!!!!!!!!
It totaly amazes me how a small unplanned gathering of a few can turn in to a full blown ,fly by the seat of the pants,C-Brat gathering with 14 or 15 boats represented . Granted all the boats wern't present but the Crews were all counted for.
My thanks goes out to Tyboo Mike & Kay, and to Tim & Judy for a great time.
Larry, your hospitality was exceptional with all those wine connosuers over there ...lol...
Mike, I am not sure if it was a deliberate ploy to get Lisbeth & I to find out how comfortable a 25 ft is ....lol....Well, it worked and I am hooked Hard.I just ain't gonna look at the Sensei the same any more. It is totaly amazing what a difference 10 inches makes in the beam and how much extra room was in the V-Berth.
Also a thanks to Pat for the great Snoqualimie Falls beer and to Chucks friend(I am sorry for being mentally chalenged when it comes to names) for the great Stone Wolf Vineyards wine.
I will write more later.

P.S.
just a short note to Bill & Ell
See you Later & we love ya , come back soon

Running late today, will keep it brief. I had a GREAT time, ditto for Austin and Oscar - looking forward to Sturgeon Fest next June in Warrenton! Wonderful to see everyone again - the friendship is truly overwhelming. Detour to St Helens was very worthwhile, even though we had clouds and rain. My photos are up now too.

Thanks to everyone for a great time and warm reception (considering it was my 1st C-Brats getogether). My only regret was that Art and I had to leave Saturday before more of the gang arrived.
