Calling all C-Brats...
Any one have interest in doing another simple cruise of the James River? Last year in July, we had a nice fleet that went to Smithfield Station in the Pagan River, then to Rivers Rest Marina in the Chickahominy River, then to Jordan Point Marina Hopewell, VA, then to Deep Creek Marina in Newport News, VA.
The real highlight is the Pagan and the Chickahominy, so maybe those two at least could make a nice short trip, if folks don't have a larger block of time available.
Anyway, consider the conversation started...
Best regards,
Joan & Steve

Hi Steve,

Investigating the James River sounds great to us so count Mary and I on "Freedom" as a definite possibility, depending on the timing. We'll be flying home for several weeks and then returning sometime around mid July (give or take a week or two) to continue cruising. We'll keep an eye on this cruise string as it develops.

FREEDOM,
Thank you for the flowers...what a neat way to brighten our day.
Glad to hear that you have interest. We need to set a date at some point so everyone can plan. As always, you can leave your rig at our home during that trip.
Best regards,
Joan & Steve

Steve,
Ernie and I would love to make the complete trip this year. We had such a good time last year. For my planning and work schedule I hope we can get the date set soon.

Best to you and Joan


Erma

C-Brats,
Steve has asked TyBoo to place an event signup for the 2014 James River trip on the Brats site.
The general plan is to hit the highlight areas and forget about the rest, as there is not much to see from just steaming and staying at some of the places that you are "just at a marina".
So...
The general plan is to get underway and rendezvous at Smithfield Station on the Pagan River on July 11, then on the 12th, go to Rivers Rest Marina on the Chickahominy River. Spend the evening enjoying each others company, use the pool and eat at the restaurant. The morning of the 13th, get underway for a local cruise of the river and tributaries. Then spend that evening at Rivers Rest, enjoying the evening together. On the 14th, depart and head home.
The pluses is that some folks can shorten the trip to meet their available time, as well as launch near Smithfield or at Rivers Rest.
As always everyone can use our dock and Steve will assist you in launching and storing your rig at our house. Additionally, we will be hosting a dinner for all that can make the trip, as well as for other C-Brats that are in the area that can't make the trip at 5:30 PM on July 10th.
Best regards,
Joan & Steve Baum

Alma's Only and crew are looking forward to joining the group. We have some tight scheduling on the front end, so rather than joining up at Smithfield, we're planning on launching at Jordan Point on Friday, and spending that night at anchor off the James. We'll meet up with everyone else Saturday morning at the HW 5 bridge over the mouth of the Chickahominy. Should be fun!

Erma,
Joan and I are very pleased that we will be together, even though it is just for a short trip. You are welcome to put your rig at our home if you like, but if pressed for time, you could put in on the Pagan as you did last time.

Steve, maybe this is why my accountant wife retired. Miscounting between those large numbers 2 and 3. And I thought it was to be with me.... Of course, I'll probably get punched when she reads this.
