Glad to see you made it into the water. It must feel good after the last 2 days you've had. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Two Lucky Fish +1 is here. I'm exhausted. Hey, I notice there is a Wi-Fi network here called C-Dory; who is that? Is it for the group? If so, what's the password? Smile

Jody can fly a drone! Fun watching it hover above the dock.

Hey Harvey, if you're crossing the Strait tomorrow about dinner time and you see the Norwegian Pearl, that will be me waving to you. We will be on our way to Juneau and Glacier Bay with 2500 of our fellow septuagenarians (and their parents). Hope everyone is having a good time in FH.

Thank you Patti and Barry!!! What a fabulous gathering. Great weather, people food and fun. We are staying a couple extra days in FH as it is a wonderful spot. Safe travels home to everyone. See you down the road. Carolyn and George

It was great seeing many of you Saturday afternoon while there with the Anacortes Coast Guard Auxiliary. I was delighted to finally meet Jay and Jolee, who have shared so many adventures and inspired us.

In 2008 the 3rd weekend in May became "Friday Harbor with friends." Thanks to all who helped my transition from kayaking to the ongoing journey of learning about power boating and wonderful places to visit.

Always a C-Brat...

Barry & Patti:

Thanks so much for making this such a fun weekend. It was great to catch up with old friends and make new ones. With Canada and so many states represented, it's no wonder this is the largest C-brats gathering.

Hoping to join everyone in Victoria...Thanks, Susan and Tom for organizing!

Andrea: we'll be in touch when we cross the border this summer, would be great if our paths were to cross.

Dan & Tanya: we missed you! Hope to catch up sometime soon.

Hi Marty, Have a great trip. I left FH this morning at 0600 and had a very pleasant crossing, wind at 5 or less, and wave about 1ft for the first quarter of the way, then near flat. It's pretty rare that I would try a crossing much later. You, on the other hand, will not have to worry about "small craft " warnings for a while.

Friday Harbor was really great. Super weather, great food, really good time with really nice people, and best of all, all of the boats are floating, still.

Pat and Patty, Salty, and Tim, glad you all suck it out and came even if it was a bit delayed.

Dan and Tanya, sure missed you two.

Nope all have a safe trip to where ever from there. Some are not going home, so wherever, be safe. Great to get to catch up.

Barry & Patti,

Well done. We had a wonderful time & extra thanks to you for the book & all the information about places ect north of here.

We'er still here at Friday Harbor with the few others that are staying an extra night or two. After you left I went over to Jones Island & back on the Mokai where there's another mini gathering tonight with maybe 6 C- Dorys & Sam & his Nordic Tug, continuing the great time had by all here.

We had a great time with many folks and still have more to meet. What a large group! The new boat with an actual cabin this time was a treat and worked great there and back again. We really need to extend the trip next time and stay a few extra nights....
