I was out at Scotty Plastics today getting my downriggers switched over to braided line and asked if they offer any tours of the plant which they do on a regular basis so just a thought for the September gathering if there is any interest. About 10 minutes from Port of Sidney.

We'll be there with Blue Skies. Looking forward to the get-together!

Great idea, Terry. I am sure that many of us c-brats have the odd piece of Scotty stuff aboard!

It was just a thought Mike but as you know there is a lot of options for ya and the crew so it was just thrown out there

Hmmmm. I think I have those same symptoms and they always get worse in September but also periodically through out the summer

I just talked to Kerry at "Fish on Fifth" and they have seating for up to 50 if we call ahead a couple of days. They have a pretty decent menu, great fish and chips and even sell T-Shirts Shocked

Might be a lunch option for consideration. Would include a bit of a walk through town. (Five to Six blocks.)

Hello all,
I have been in discussion with Port Sidney Marina (http://www.portsidney.com/), and they have indicated that they want us to call in to 250-655-3711 and make a reservation which requires a credit card. They have a 48 hour cancellation policy so there is no worries in that regard. Depending on how many we have, they will decide where to put us, but the earlier we are the better. So please go ahead and call in to let them know you would like to reserve a spot. (I don't seem to be able to reserve them for you!)

The group name is c-brats...

Their rates are $1.50 per foot (plus 5% tax now!) plus other charges as indicated at:
http://www.portsidney.com/transient-moorage-rates/
I am going to make more detailed plans after going to the Friday Harbour CBGT but at the moment we should definitely plan on:
Scott plastics tour if there is interest
Dinner and/or lunch at Fish on 5th
Visit to West Marine on Beacon ave?
Trip around some of the local islands (Sidney Spit? D'Arcy, Portland?)

If you are planning to join us, please add your name to the list at http://www.c-brats.com/groupcp.php?g=7008&sid=a7d562c245010671f617567c02f409d5. I see there are 7 of us signed up already!

I just called in and they gave me slip H12. Looking forward to hosing my first CBGT

Hi Mike,

I'm sure you mean hosting us and not hosing us Razz

Funny what a typo can do!

Martin.

I am really looking forward to this. It is the perfect CBGT at the perfect time, and in the perfect place and now I may have a conflict. I will need to wait to sign up until after the big work process that is going on is completed. May not know until mid July. Will sure be watching this and planning to come.

I guess I should have made use of that 30 minute editing window! Very Happy
