Sorry you won't be there Jim. You're going to miss a good one!
We are in downtown Paisley (30 mins from Holly Bluff). The rain is GONE, the sky is blue, the sun is shining and it's going to be a gorgeous weekend! _________________ Mary Casebeer

Tom and Joyce,
Is it too late to sign up for the Hontoon Weekend? We live on Merritt Island and did not think we would be able to attend because of work obligations. That has suddenly changed and we can make the weekend. We would launch Friday morning on Lake Harney and travel north up to Hontoon...about a 3 hour run and a very pretty section of the River.
Although we have had the Comfy Dory for about 7 years, we have never been in the position to attend a C-Brat Getogether. We have however spent the night at Hontoon Island on several occasions during our annual New Year's St. John's River trip.
What would I need to do to reserve a slip at Hontoon? We would be arriving at about 1:00-2:00 on Friday. Do I need to sign up for the getogether? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Tad and Tony. Gatherings are mostly informal deals I'd suggest you phone the marina for a slip and get on down there! C Brats are a great group of folks. Gatherings are a highlight of our cruising season. You can sign up on the event list if you want but I suggest you pack and get going. Enjoy! Say hey to Mary and Casey on Dessert First for us.

Dockage is first come first served. 40 small slips. I hope to have a spot when I arrive shortly after you also on Fri afternoon. I don't think we sign in before we arrive.
See you and everyone there. _________________ When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Dessert First is in the water and we will be there in about 20 mins. We'll give you an "occupancy report" then but I can't imagine it being a problem. |

Come on down, there will be space and if not I'll anchor out with you. No reservations accepted but I've no doubt we can make this work for you. I'd even give you my slip if need be. Looking forward to meeting you! _________________ James, Betty, Luna cat and Moki dog on the TomCat Molly Brown

There are 40 slips. 7 are currently occupied (100% C-Brats). Most of the folks who come here regularly say that you won't have any problem getting here in the early afternoon on Friday. But the staff here says that by Saturday afternoon, they may fill up. If you don't think you will make it by early afternoon on Friday, reply here because those of us who are physically here can pay for one extra slip to "save" it.
Currently, sitting in a circle with a dozen or more C-Brats having a great time. |

Boaterhomer, Does anyone there stand by with a cell phone? If so, could you post the number here so those who will only have cell phone en route Fri would be able to contact someone there for slip availability updates. Our cell number is: 1-386-846-5521 (Verizon) and we will be standing by on VHF 68/16 also. Thanks. We plan to be there by Happy Hour Fri |

Sent a PM with three numbers and Tom already has his on here in a previous post. If anyone else needs numbers just ask ...I'll send a PM. I'll also post updates on site availability tomorrow. Per the staff here, get here by early afternoon and you won't have a problem. |

We are boaterhoming at the Ocala RV "Resort" tonight (in Ocala) so we are anticipating a relatively short drive tomorrow. We hope to arrive at the docks sometime around noon or shortly thereafter.

Nine C-Dorys already here for Thursday night! Great time around the camp fire last evening and we are not even getting started. The Brats are on the north set of slips. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Waiting for everyone else to get here.
