Thanks Barry and Patti for organizing this once again.

I spent Sunday night at James Island with 5 or 6 C-Dory's on the dock. Several more came and went throughout the afternoon. I snuck out (hopefully quietly) about 5:45 a.m. on Monday to get back to Anacortes in time for work, but I hope everyone still out in the islands is having a great time.

Had a very pleasant Monday afernoon and evening at Prevost Harbor on Stuart Island with Fred (Anita Marie), Martin and Andrea (Nomad), Terry and Ann (Rock-C), Ian and Jackie (Sea Sprite) and Garry and Vickie (Amy Marie). Tonight we are at Spencer Spit with Garry and Vickie, tomorrow headed for James Island, and then Thursday back to Squalicum to retrieve. Great Friday Harbor CBGT, great few days cruising! Weather couldn't have been better! Looking forward to Pender Harbour in June!

Barry and Patti,
Kudos and Thanks for another great Friday Harbor Gathering. Kim, Sunshine and I had a great time. Sunshine was totally exhausted, happily, on the trip back to Cornet Bay. She perked up a little as we hit the shore for a break and then tied up to the float in the bay waiting for some water at the launch.
Hopefully we will run in to a lot of you Brats this summer as we cruise the islands and fish for salmon in the sound and out in the ocean.

Barry and Patti,

Again! A most delightful FH CBGT. Other than having to miss the christenings because we had to catch the ferry we had a wonderful time. Thanks for everything...including overtime on the weather dance. We couldn't believe the excellent weather considering earlier forecasts of wind, waves, rain.

The Friday Harbor gremlins got me again, last year it was water in the fuel and a total engine failure. This year I was leaving FH, turned left on the way out, and ran over a submerged branch. Took out my depth sounder transducer and gave me doubts as to whether one of the engines had taken a knock. We scrubbed our Garrison Bay plan and headed for Jones Island where I knew fellow C-Brats would be able to help me. Kudos to all you guys (and gals) who helped me, you know who you are. Good news is, no engine problems returning to Comox, BC. I'll haul the boat out on Friday and see if I can fix the transducer. My fault really, I had over tightened the 'kick up' bolt, and when the branch hit, it snapped the transducer clean off.

Great gathering, thank you Patty and Barry for all your work, so much fun meeting old friends and making new ones. Roger and Janet, thank you again, you know why. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible again in Pender. It's gonna be a blast.

To all our American friends, you are the greatest.

Martin and Andrea Bridges.

Hi Chuck & Penny,

We missed you at Friday Harbor. Hope you are feeling better now. See you in Pender in 3 weeks.

Martin.

Martin and Andrea, Glad to hear you made it home OK. Sorry about that "branch". I saw more floaters in the water this trip than I have seen anytime before. Some really big, dangerous stuff. Practiced the old saying about "If you see birds standing on the water, ..... they aren't Rolling Eyes And try to avoid those birds.

Hope we get to see you on the water again somewhere this summer.

Thanks Harvey. I wonder what next year's FH gathering has in store for me?
You will see me real soon in Pender I hope.

Martin - small potatoes, in the scheme of life! We spent $2,000 fixing our trailer just so we could go to FH (really). Back at Squalicum, I hate to say, on the way to the ramp to retrieve my empty trailer clipped another vehicle (I guess that is what insurance is for). Just stuff! Great times, great friends, great memories, that is what it really is all about!

OK, so if we are down to telling the truth now, I can step up to the plate too. I'm still working on getting my auto pilot working so I can get to Friday Harbor Laughing Ahhh, looks like it needs a new brain, so there goes a boat unit or two for sure. NOW, I'm aiming for Pender and hope I wind up there and not in Uculet or Port Hardy Laughing Laughing

The electronic gurus are saying it should be done by then.

Will try to make Pender.

Harvey, you can get to Pender Harbour without autopilot, it is just nicer to have it! Heck, I can navigate there on my iPhone!

Right Pat, however, my boat may be in Portland when I need to be navigating to Pender. I drop it off early, but it depends on how long it takes to get the install and everything back in order.

Would be nice to have everything under control, but this one is out of my hands, for now. Sure hope to see youi all up there.
