Thanks you guys for being such gracious hosts. It was great to see everyone again, once a brat always a brat eh! Sorry about the Canadian money in the kitty but they won't let us have the real stuff. See everyone soon and if anyone is coming by Campbell River let us know.

Thank you Pat and Patty for a fun time.

Was only able to make Saturday night, but great food, ain't it always, and fun to visit and see new boats and projects that people have done!

Next time, we won't have to hide the whipping cream from Ruth! Shhh, don't tell her Wink

Another great gathering had by all. Thanks Pat and Patty for putting together a fun event, from the welcome packets to the pizza to the factory tour to the omelet breakfast, the bar continues to rise. Caryn and I had a wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Once again, thanks for all your efforts.

We were heading back from a week-long cruise to join the c-brats in Bellingham on Friday evening but the weekend weather was so warm and the seas so calm, we didn't have the heart to return home until Sunday. Sounds like we missed a great time.

Pat and Patty, All is well Thumbs Up Don of Knotty C phoned me and mentioned that folks were commenting about the C-Dory sign that they'd noticed on the gangway. I knew you weren't around and asked Don to PLEASE remove the banner. He has it in his pickup.
Hugs, Ruthie C-Brat #22

Thanks to Pat and Patty for organizing this get-together! And by organizing I mean every possible detail was dealt with.
And thanks to Pat for loaning me his jumper cables when my boat battery died and for showing me how to secure a bow line, and for telling me that I'd started my motor with the lower unit out of the water!
I enjoyed meeting a lot of folks that I had only know through their posts on this site.

What a great time, getting to see old friends, and meeting new ones is always a treat.

A huge thanks to Pat and Patti for all their organizing and for the omelet breakfast.

Thanks too, for using my picture on your card. I hope everyone recognizes the lead boat in that line-up is Halcyon, and if they don't know about that boat, look up the link on the home page, bottom left corner, to Halcyon Days, for info on Cruising America.

Sorry I came in so late, I know I missed some who left early and the factory tour, but just coming off Vancouver Island was a bit time consuming -- read that as should have had a ferry reservation -- but then again, you know about schedules and cruising boats.

Made it home safe and sound. Coming off the Edmonds, Kingston ferry on the west side, the ferry line-up was at least 4 miles long and that was at 7PM, so I guess I made it home before some of them.

Looking forward to a few more cruises before 2016 and then there will be Friday Harbor.

Thanks to all for making C-BRATs special.

Just wrapping up a trip up north and have WiFi for the first time. Thanks P and P for hosting and we three really enjoyed the tour and dock talk. More details when we get home but see you sometime when we pickup the cbgt supplies for FH. Take care,

Greg

We really appreciate your hard work in putting on such a fantastic event at Bellingham Pat and Patty.

It was great seeing everybody for what is effectively the last PNW CBGT of 2015 (that part is a bit depressing).

Oh well, hopefully September will offer us all some great end of summer / early fall cruising weather in spite of the nasty end-of-August storm.

Take care everybody and thanks again for such a great time.

Take care,
Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on Echo

Thanks, all! We had a great time putting this together, including the Friday night pizzas, the factory tour (a BIG thanks to Ron Wright and Greg Little for going above and beyond to host the C-Brats!), the LFS coupons (even if they weren't what we were told, they were better than a poke in the eye!), the potluck and trivia quiz (and no, a nautical mile is not "about" 6,000 feet, it is 6,076 feet, no apologies for the judge's rulings!) and the omelette breakfast. Only hitch in the git-along was that we forgot the banner, but Don on Knotty C rescued it (whew). Greg Lang, the C-Brat supplies and the "kitty" are ready for you whenever you would like them, in fact, I will meet you half way to get them out of storage here!

I had a blast and it was great to meet so many of you. You are all a great group of people! I meant to post sooner but had such terrible reception while in the NW that it was no fun being on the WWW! Besides that most everything that I search on the computer I was getting to experience in person!
