I'm at the Dubuque Yacht Basin Marina this evening, as one of my sons and I are taking a short father/son vacation a few days on the Mississippi. Just wanted to share with anyone trailering here, the water is low again. I think possibly a bit lower than last year's get together. This evening using the boat launch near the marina, I not only had WOT in reverse to power off the trailer, but my son and one other big guy yanking on my lines helping to get the boat off the trailer. I have the standard EZ loader bunk trailer, and the bunks were not much under the waters surface. Then you have to be careful coming into the marina channel, but the little peninsula is marked by some sticks. If the water gets any lower, I'll need a deeper ramp. Actually since I'll be coming solo, I may need a different ramp at the current water level. Any suggestions? Colby |

Due to a tow vehicle problem we are unable to bring Carpy this year. We were loaded, hitched up and ready to go. We got less than 1 mile and it was obvious we had a problem. Not to be completely deterred, we have come boatless. We are in Dubuque at a B&B tonight, Friday and will see our C-brat friends at the marina on Saturday. It's disappointing to not have our river trip, but we'll have to have a trip of a different nature.
Carpe Diem, Vita Brevis.

Wishing you all a great gathering. We had hoped to attend, but my back problem dictates other wise. Have a bunch of fun! Maybe next year.... _________________ Bob Austin

Well today it is history (Although some of the C-Brats are still on the river at Dubuque as I write this.) Lee and Jan with the Tully-B are back at their home in Michigan. We had a great time and missed all the great friends who were there last year bur could not make it this year. Ken and Pat did a great job for Ron and Connie who could not make the gathering. We all missed them and hope that all is well with them. The highlight of the event was IMHO was the picnic on the sand bar. Tex furnished homemade ice cream (hand cranked) to go with our pecan pie. Next years plans are shaping up and I would advise you all to stay tuned for some exciting ideas that we are currently exploring. Have a great winter all. Lee |

Lee and Jan, The pies and dogs were great. Ken and Pat and Sharon and I are on the river camped on a sand bar 100 miles south of Minneapolis, headed north.
Did anyone get some good photos of all the boats on the sand bar? If so, post them up. We are already looking forward to next year. |
