Wow, what a spectacular CBGT! Old friends and new! Our run back to Bellingham from Friday Harbor was a piece of cake, even Bellingham Bay as a pussycat this afternoon. Daydream is now safely stored in Concrete, WA, at Garry and Vicki's "cabin" - if that is a cabin, we live in a mud hut - and Patty and I are back in our fifth wheel in Preston. Our relator tells us we will be getting an offer on our house tomorrow, keeping our fingers crossed! Looking forward to the next one/ones! _________________

Thanks Barry and Patty for putting on a great event. The crew of Two Lucky Fish—all FIVE of us—had a great time!
So...um...who put the "+1" on our boat in electrical tape? I was sure it was Barry, but apparently not. Anybody care to 'fess up??
And speaking of pranks...We lost the wheel post from our swivel-up trailer jack. The main shaft and crank is there, but the part that moves and the wheel is gone. Didn't notice until we were halfway to Seattle. I think it's very unlikely it fell off on its own. Somebody maybe cranked it all the way out in Anacortes while we were off in Friday Harbor? _________________ Timothy R. R. Flanagan |

What a wonderful event! Thanks so much Barry and Patti for putting on such a great shindig! It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. It has been about 3 years since Caryn and I last attended the FH CBGT and it continues to be our favorite. My favorite part of this gathering has always been arriving to H Dock seeing all the beautiful C-Dorys lined up all in a row and hearing all the friendly greetings along the way.
And thank you so much to our dear C-Brat friends for your outpouring of love and kindness to Caryn; and me. It means so much to know that there are such good, kind loving people that we have come to call our friends in the C-Brat boating community. It especially meant alot to Caryn to be able to spend some special time to talk to each one of you. Once again, a sincere thank you!
Peter & Caryn

Hats off to Barry and Patty! It was good to see all of our friends again and meet new ones. Upon arrival to Cornet bay I got a chance to visit with Lyle and Janda (See-Saw) and Rob (Robbie’s Refuge). We helped each other get the boats on the trailer and had a chance to visit for a few minutes. It was a nice ending to a weekend in the San Juan’s. (I hate leaving them when the weather is so nice) My plan is to spend a few weeks in July in the San Juan’s and Gulf Islands this summer and I hope to cross wakes with many of you again.

Another big thank you to Patti and Barry for hosting the event (and being great neighbours on the dock!). We had a great first gathering and are looking forward to getting a much smaller event going in Sidney BC in September!
I now have weeks worth of mods to make to my CD-22 based on ideas gathered at the FH CBGT! _________________ Mike and Monica Jackson, Victoria, BC

Thanks everyone, especially our lovely hosts, for a great gathering! Very glad we could make it this year. So nice to see you all, crazy C-Brats!
Tristan had a great first overnight boating experience. He's going to be a salty dog. |

Many many thanks to so many good friends, new friends, old friends and super friends.
What a great time. Best place in the world to be, this last weekend, with your C-Dory and your C-Brat friends. Thank you all so much for making the effort. Just wish we would have had more time, (like the whole week) to visit each one longer.
To the brave souls who were willing to get up before the sun and follow me out into the Strait of Juan, Lighthouse Express, Blue Max and Jean Marie. You all are great, and capable and I count it a privilege to share a route with you. Sorry I missed the whale watch trip with you. (All the more reason to get back to the islands).
Great to get to share the C-Dory experience with Martha and Mitch, the newest true PNW boaters. Wishing you all the best in your search, and looking forward to more trips with you two.
Super special thanks to those who helped with my Raymarine messup. Starting with the johnny on the spots Ruth and Joe, Roger from DreamerII, David on Anna Leigh, Starcraft Tom, Barry on C-Cakes, Rob of the Jean Marie, and at 0700 on a Sunday morning, Les from EQ and the new Marinaut 215. You all really made my trip worth it, and the Raymarine MFD is back to complete again. Thank you all.
Good to see Peter and Caryn back, and Don, and George and Carolyn, (You two rock), and speaking of rock, Russ and Toni, Thanks for checking on me, much appreciated.
To the factory guys for being there, and John the dealer, thanks for taking the time to come and visit on SleepyC. Hope to see you all around on the site
Guys we missed --- Mike and Bill. Sure hope we see you next time.
And the trip back across the Strait of Juan. I call it a boat ride, and SleepyC had a total salt water bath again. She’s all clean and shiny and resting in the barn after another great day on the water.
Barry and Patti, you did superb. What a CBGT, it was a record. Great music (Thanks Jim and Joan (yup I saw her packing gear), and to all for the good food.
And let’s do it again. Hope to see you all in Sidney.
Harvey

Thanks to all who came. It is you guys that make the event a success, we just give you a place to do it. For those of you who wanted to come but could not, we're sorry to have missed you. Hope to see you next year...and...after careful consideration, and some direction from the admiral, Patti and Barry will continue as hosts. As Patti says, its fun, not much work, and we really like to do it. So we'll see you next year.
Now, I (Barry) have a huge mea culpa to make public. After all our encouragement for Teddi the Wonder Dog and her assistant John to come and provide us their always wonderful dog act. I, (Me....not Patti but Me) forgot to introduce them and get the act going during the potluck. So, we missed out on an always fun show and I feel really rotten about forgetting you guys. I'm so sorry _________________ Patti and Barry

Great job Patti and Barry, lots of fun, well done. Only our second gathering, it was super chatting with old friends and meeting new ones. Oh and Pat, If you are ever up Comox way again, "knock me up" !
We left FH noon on Sunday and ended up in Telegraph Harbour in the Gulf Islands for our over-nighter. Monday we continued north and stayed out for another over-nighter at Sandy Island, just 4 miles from home. Today (Andrea's birthday) we set off for the putter home, I switched fuel tanks from stbd to port, when with just 3 miles to go the port engine died, followed by the stbd engine 30 seconds later. Despite all my efforts I could not restart them. Gas problems me thinks. So practically in sight of my house, I had to phone for a tow Still it could have been worse, it could have been Haro Straight.
Roll on the Sidney gathering and seeing all you fine Brats again.
Martin & Andrea. |
