Neal & Steve,

For those folks coming from out of town, Centerville Waterway Marina in the past has been very accommodating with rig storage and slips for the night. Their number is 757-547-4498. The phone numbers for the other marinas we used are as follows:

Pelican Marina (talk to Josh) 252-335-5108
Coinjock Marina 252-453-3271

Hope you all have a great time!

Richard

First night at North Carolina Welcome Center. 18 May at the Pelican Marina in North Carolina. 19 May at Coinjock Marina. 17 is a Friday. 18 is Saturday. 19 is Sunday. 20 is Monday.

Neal,
Based on historical information, the trip takes 4 days and always ended on a Sunday to allow everyone to get home, so they could head back to work on Monday. If you feel that the dates are incorrect, you may need to request that the "event signup" dates be changed, as they currently run from Thursday until Sunday.
Please feel free to call me if I can aid you with any of the reservation details.
Cell: 757-477-1453

After talking to Osprey, It might be a good idea to change the dates for the cruise. We could start on Thursday. Lock through on Thursday then to the Welcome Center. Would That be better. End on Sunday at Centerville Marina. Is that a better idea, let me know, Please. Neal

After speaking with Neal, he concurs that the dates posted on the event calendar will stand.

Well, I've got the boat cleaned up and ready to get wet. I'll probably come down a day or so early, and anchor around Norfolk just to watch the world go by. Steve, any chance I can make arrangements to park at your place?

I'm unclear on the schedule, and at the risk of being a bit dense, could someone help me out? This went back and forth, and I want to be sure that I'm where I'm supposed to be.

If anyone in the group needs help getting their MMSI numbers into their VHF's or connecting the VHF and GPS/PLOTTER, be sure to let me know and we'll get that done.

Looking forward to some fun! Did this trip last year with Hunky Dory, and had a great time.

I too am unclear. If "the dates posted on the event calendar will stand," then where will be each night? If we are in Centreville on the evening of the 15th to get underway on the 16th, seems the schedule should say 5/15-19. If we are in Coinjock the evening of the 19th (prime rib - yum!) to return on the 20th, seems the schedule should say 5/16-20.

Either way, looking forward to it.

The suggested dates are as follows; 17 May underway from Centerville Marina. Night of the 17 arrive at North Carolina welcome center.18 may underway to Elizabeth City, Pelican Marina. 19 May, underway to Coinjock Marina.20 May, underway to Centerville Marina. Please let me know if this schedule works for everyone. Thumbs Up

Dave,
It would be my pleasure for you to use my home to park your rig and also use my floating pier. I do have room for several more C-Brats rigs and boats if someone else wants to use this resource.
Best regards,
Steve Baum

Neal,
Joan and I are cool with the trip starting on Friday and ending on Monday. If everyone else agrees, I would recommend that you ask the moderator to change the dates on the "Event Signups" screen.
Best regards,
Steve Baum
