Should be fine. You might consider G dock as, I think, the slips are a little longer there. We normally have boats on both G and H docks.

We will be there for the gathering.

We've been talking about taking the camper to Southern Utah after a May 5 wedding in Montana. I am not entirely sure if we will be back in time for the FH gathering but would love to join in the fun if we can.

Great news......

David and Kate McKibben, the previous owners of the Anna Leigh, may be accompanying the new owners, Sandy and Kathy McKean, to this event arriving on Friday. The McKibben's will be returning to Guemes Island later that night via the Washington State Ferries.

A re-christening ceremony may also be required assuming I have decided on a name by then (I have a name in mind, but I am unwilling as yet to divulge it Wink

).

Yes, this boat is well loved! Smile

sgmfish,

Good to hear. Good to have David with you for a bit of a trip, and it will be nice to get to meet and put a face to the new name here. As to the naming, take your time. You want that to fit, be right and not want to change it right after the lettering goes on. there will be another chance to do the ceremony.

Hi,

We're getting a little closer (34 boats!) and need to work out some things about the Friday dinner. I have been talking with Debbie of Downrigger's about how to do it since the unfortunate fire last year that totally destroyed the old downrigger's restaurant and several other businesses. Debbie and Downrigger's have been an excellent hosts every year and personally I would like to support her in this difficult time. She has reserved the Grange hall in Friday Harbor for us. It is up the stairs from the marina not far from the Whale Museum and the VFW. Easily within walking distance from the Marina still with a great view and can seat all of us. The menu will be a little limited as she is essentially catering in a different kitchen. Right now she proposes the following main dishes:

Citrus Chicken
Blackened Salmon
Braised Short Ribs

All would be served with mashed potatoes, vegetables and fresh baked bread. The price would be, including tax and tip $25.50.

There are two issues that need to be resolved soon:

[1] I would like to offer a salad main course as well so we have a slightly lower cost option and one that can be made meatless easily, she says she can do it so we need to make a decision about that.

[2] She needs to know our alcohol wishes as there is no bar at the grange and she will have to apply for a liquor permit if we want drinks served. Alternatively, we can BYOB; She won't need a liquor permit and can provide ice and glasses for drinks. It seems to make sense to me that we bring our own alcoholic beverages.

I know we can never satisfy every single individual and I will make the necessary decisions but would really appreciate getting a sense of what the group wants to do. So...Please let me know by posting your wishes about adding a salad and whether you are willing to bring your own alcoholic beverages on this thread NLT a week from today, March 12th.

I will post again a few weeks from now and, in order to makes things easier for Downrigger's, will ask for feedback about whether you plan to attend and what your dinner preferences are

Thanks very much.

Menu looks good, don't need the salad, and we can bring our own drinks. Thanks for coordinating!

Aloha From Maui,

I think the salad would be a nice option. Personally I will go for the braised ribs. Kate NOT. And BYOB is nOOOOOO problem. Just have to have the new boat owners stock the boat bar well.

Great job Barry and Patti. We'd go for a salad option and will bring our own beverage.
Look forward to seeing you all

Blackened Salmon sounds good to me, no to the salad, BYOB is just fine. How do I take care of the dock space or any other fees?

Chicken , salmon or ribbs sounds good. No salad needed. I am sure I can find some one to make me a martinia

It's all good. Menu choices, BYOB, etc. Glad you are still in charge!

Do I have to call FH for slip space or are you reserving a block?

Monica and I will be fine with or without a salad option and are also fine with BYOB

As for fees, the Port reserves all of H and much of G dock for us. Just get there, call in, tell them you are with the C-dory group and they will tell you to go find a slip, tie up and then go up to the harbormasters office to register. You can take any open slip. Usually a few of us are there Thursday and will help you get moored. Usually we get a pretty good discount on moorage fees. I'll give details when we get a little closer.

Yum. It all sounds good--salad or no. Marla and I are easy. Can bring our own or get it there. (Most likely we'll only want a glass or two of white wine.) Thanks for organizing this!
