John,

Could you please PM me with your name and Mrs. Johnr if there is one, so I can make name tags for you?

Pat

And if you have not been to Squalicum Harbor, we thought this might come in handy so you can find P Dock!

It looks like Teddi will have to be the main entertainment since I could not convince Bathhurst he should come and sing for us!

As fate would have it I have to be in Oregon on Sunday to take delivery of my new to our family boat. Yeah. But that leaves us in a pickle. Do you think that you will use the SYC clubhouse? I can leave the keys more than likely with John and Amy F. But want to double check that indeed we feel the need for the house. Full kitchen, seating, bbq, and what not. Let me know and I will for sure make sure you have the keys to the building. I have the clubhouse on Friday and Saturday if needed.

Byrick,

We would only use the building in the event of rain, but better safe than sorry. If John and Amy could get the keys (and return them to you), that would be wonderful. It hasn't rained here much in ages but you never know!

Plan on Andy and Audrey from Lumpsucker (formerly Minnie Swann) to attend the Saturday evening potluck. Lumpy, as we call her, is moored in Bellingham at Gate 8, so no need for dock space.

Look for us Friday evening or Saturday morning as we pass by the dock on our way to drop the crab pots. If there's room at the dock we'll stop to say hi as we pass.

Thanks for organizing!

Andy

PARKING at Squalicum Harbor!

There is one big paved lot in front of the boat ramp, but it may be full because it is crab season! There are TWO overflow lots.

The first overflow lot is directly across the street behind Redden Marine. It also may be full! The second overflow lot is off Hilton, the street just before Bellwether Way. It is a bit of a walk but is unlikely to be full.

If you are going to cruise after the CBGT and will be parked for more than five days, you need to go to the Squalicum Harbor office and get a permit. It is free but you need to get it so they don't tow your vehicle or send out a search and rescue party! You need to tell them when you are departing (8/21/15, when you first park) and when you are returning. They need your vehicle license plate number and your trailer license plate number. They write it in their book and give you a pink colorerd permit, which they tell you to just fold and put on your driver's seat, so nobody can look and see how long you will be gone! The Port of Bellingham is great, we got our parking permit today!

Hi Pat,

Hope it's not too late to sign up for your gathering in Bellingham. Brooks and I would like to come and would arrive Friday afternoon. Pizza, factory tour, potluck, dock talk. Thanks in advance to you and Patty for putting together such fun and interesting activities.

I went to the C-Dory factory today to confirm arrangements, and talked to Greg Little, Production Manager! The factory will be open to tour between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 22nd. The factory is at 809 Harris, Building 6. If you come via Old Fairhaven Parkway, turn right on 12th, and then left on Harris. If you come from downtown Bellingham, turn right onto Harris from 12th (State Street out of Bellingham takes you right to 12th in Fairhaven. The factory is in the first industrial complex on the right after you pass the retail buildings, and kind of toward the middle of the complex. If you see a bunch of LSF Inc warehouses, you are in the right area!! There is no sign. but Greg says he will have some C-Dorys out in front. Here is a shot of the boats on the floor today:

Kim and I will be coming Saturday afternoon and evening for the potluck.
Sorry for the late notice. Will we need a gate code?

Thanks!

Pat, I just signed us up for our first event since buying the former 'Nancy H' in 2009!
We're combining this event with an extended family campout at Larrabee state park so we'll be shuttling back and forth to Squalicum. We're be arriving at the Squalicum boat launch Friday afternoon and looking forward to meeting some of the folks we've been following on this site!
