Hello Paul & Joni,
Thank you for drooping by and thank you for offering to help with this gathering.
After all you folks did have the very first gathering in this part of the country and have some experience. (see http://cruisingamerica-halcyondays.com/mwgath.htm).
Since we last talked, I have met with the Guttenberg City Manager, who is very interested in helping us in any way.
The city docks and transient docks at the new south marina, which is nearing completion, can be reserved for this event.
Hopefully all the boats can dock within a block or so from each other.
As you know, the ice left last week, even though the Lock/Dam #10 gates are wide open and the water is on the rise there are
www.lansingiowa.com/ lots of boats/fisherman cashing in on the spring Walleye/Northern.
NOTES: For trip planning consider the following.
Check out http://www.guttenbergiowa.net/calendar.htm where the C-Dory Gathering is listed with a link to C-Brats.

Our summer plans are kinda like in mush, but Iowa is between Texas and Lake of the Woods so this is certainly in the bucket.

Event Signup for Guttenberg, Iowa (on the Mississippi River) Gathering.
I just discovered (thank you tybo) where to find the “Event Signup” tab on the C-Brats home page.
I’m posting this for the new ones that also did not notice the “Event Signup” tab.
We are encouraging those that plan to attend to signup as soon as they know that they will be with us September 10/11 in Guttenberg, Iowa.
Thank you,
Ron, Connie & Bear Fisher |

Ron,
Gary and Gerrie of "Minnie Swann", a C-Dory 22' Classic just posted a great article on the C-Brats. And their "photo gallery" shows some of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers not far from their condo at Prescott, WI. This posting would be a great intro for those not certain about the "Guttenberg Gathering" this September. It certainly highlights the scenery, history, and fun that can be enjoyed on the "Big River" and might just entice more C-Brats to Guttenberg this fall season! Have a look........

Good morning from Iowa.
SPECIAL NOTICE!

This year, the City of Guttenberg is offering the use of these slips, for that weekend by C-Brats at no charge, including Hook ups (water/electricity).
Yes, if more docks are needed, there are other city docks available on a first come first served basis, but those do not have electrical or water hook up.
All the docks are very close to each other, The Landing, City Docks and Marina are all next door to each other.
The new Marina is across the street from our house and The Landing is one block north.
Transient slips are available by reservation.

The Guttenberg, Iowa - Mississippi River Gathering T-Shirts will be ordered in the next week or so.

Is there anyone out there that is interested in one of these shirts?
Let me know quantity and size and I will get back to you with cost/postage,

Guttenberg Gathering Update.
Today we received the “Upper Mississippi River” maps of pool #10 & #11 (above and below the Lock & Dam #10 at Guttenberg, Iowa) from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Everyone attending will receive one of these maps with recommendation/s for day cruise destinations etc.
Also, the City Manager of Guttenberg has blocked out all nine “Transient Slips” in the new marina just for this C-Brat Gathering.
This way at least nine C-Dorys will be docked together.
Also, C-Brats trucks & trailers will be parked in the marina parking without question.
To see the GUTTENBERG MARINA LAYOUT: Go to http://www.cityofguttenberg.com/ - Click on “Marina” tab - Click on “Marina Layout” notice layout which shows “Transient Slips” that are now reserved for this C-Brat Gathering.
Best regards,
