Yes, it's true. I remembered to get the photo album ready before all the pictures are snapped.

Here it is.

Have fun!

May 15-16-17, Friday Harbor C-Brat's Annual Get-Together----

43 Boats! Maybe more, which included one Ranger Tug 27 owned by Russ & Toni and one Nordic Tug 26, owned by Larry! There was lots of food and even more fun and fellowship with our brothers and sisters who showed up in force from Canada. Almost half of the boats were Canadian (EH!)

Greg and Cindie did a terrific job putting this together.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Pat Anderson, our new representative of King Neptune, christened at least six boats Saturday evening and did a right smart job of it.

Teddi put his master to work Saturday afternoon and John performed flawlessly! Teddi does a great job with that John guy!

Brock was here with his boat, BAMBINA. Brock was the fella who got this C-Brat thing started years ago. Good to see you again, Brock.

Thank you, Barry and Patti for the seven years that you hosted this event. We miss you.

Joe and Ruth, C-Brats #22

Ok got lots of great pics. Converting them from .NEF right now. Need to know where to upload them.

Had a great time my buddy first time out on his Cdory is hooked on C Brats. Had a great time.

A little bit of what we did after leaving the gathering in Friday Harbor. We left at about 10am today and cruised over to Fisherman's bay on Lopez Island.

Tied up at the docks at the Galley, Jeff is the owner and would welcome any C brat at his docks for free to go up and eat and drink at the Galley.

We had a couple beers and Lou and Roxy had a late breakfast and I had one hell of an over sized burrito. We left at 12 noon.

We then went up and around Shaw and between Orcas and over to Spieden Channel. Past Roche and down Mosquito pass against a flood.

We rum lined it to Baynes channel, picked up the crab traps and docked at RVYC.

A quick Customs check and drive home and after jumping on the Harley I was still at the Blues jam by 3:30 at the upper deck.

How good is it that I am having breakfast in Friday Harbor then a beer on Lopez Island at noon and still able to make the Blues Jam in Victoria by 3:30???

Thanks all looking forward to Poulsbo.

Another great time at the gathering. Thanks to Greg and Cindie for the great job putting this all together.
Craig and I and the three dogs just boarded the land yacht (97 SURBURBAN) for our 11 hour drive home. Salty was desalted yesterday and tucked away until our next adventure. Wish we had more time to join some of you for other outings...maybe someday. Sounds like we missed seeing the Orcas at Deception yesterday! Thanks to everyone for putting up with our dumb questions and referring to fenders as bumpers and lines as ropes. We will get the lingo soon. Until next year.....Happy trails from the Montana Salty Crew!

What a great gathering! Thanks for putting it all together Greg and Cindie, you guys did a great job. It was wonderful seeing all our old friends and meeting new ones, although this gathering is getting so big, I'm sure we didn't meet all of the attendees.

We look forward to seeing some of you in Poulsbo next month!

Kudos to the Langs (Greg, Cindy, & Aven) for carrying on the great Friday Harbor hosting tradition that Barry & Patti formerly filled. All went smoothly and was very enjoyable.

Great to see everybody and spend time w/ such pleasant folks. Nice to see so many boats from north of the border..... fantastic Canadian turnout!

Take care and hope to see lots of Brats in Poulsbo, Ladysmith, & Bellingham!

Stay safe,
Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on C-Renity

Kim and I want to thank Greg, Cindie and Aven for a special gathering, since we got our 25 Christened. We received a cool certificate to commemorate the occasion, too. Thanks to Pat Anderson for Christening Kim Christine.

Great to have so many people there to help us with the happy event. We had fun visiting with everyone and Sunshine, our golden had a blast getting pets and loves from all the dog lovers!

On another subject, coming back through Deception Pass on Sunday were a small pod of orcas in the middle of the pass feeding on herring, we were told. They shut down the pass! WDFW and whale watch boats there. Awesome sight as the whales were holding in the flooding current! We had to turn around under bridge and get out of there and ending up going through Canoe Pass, then we could safely observe.

Awesome ending to a wonderful weekend.

Well, Sadly, I'm home. (I have to admit to liking "free" long hot shower though.) Sure would be nice to have this event last about a week so there would be time to talk with everybody there.

First Brat I met was Roger (In CaHoots), and Thanks to him for Taps and Oh Canada.

Greg, Cindy and Aven did a Spectacular job. A BIG THANK YOU to them. Thanks too, to Barry for the no rain dance. It worked. And thanks to Dan for posting from home what I asked since I couldn't do it from the dock. It was great all the way around. Lots of C-Dory's, 16, 22, 25, and Venture 23 and Tomcats too. Lots of Canadian boats too. I heard there were three countries represented in all, USA, Canada and Texas. It was really fun to see so many kids there too. All young C-Brats in training. I think the "Find the Fender" game was pretty good. (Tim, did they all get found on the boat by the time you hit the dock?)

Missed, were Patty and Barry, George and Carolyn, Roger and Janet, and anybody from the dealers and factory who missed a great time.

Learned some good stuff. Thanks to Sam, Tim, Chuck, Salty and John and Teddi.

Great to see the new folks, (Mark, Cory and Madison), and the "new to you boats" there. Keep it up and spread the word, C-Brats and CBGT's are "good stuff".

Accomplished: turned in half of my expired flares and got some great pix and some good hugs.

The crossings were good both ways, and the nights before and after were fun, and great to find special surprises at the docks at Jones and Reid.

OK, now looking forward to FH next year, and to more CBGT time this year.

Thanks to all for coming, for a great time and for being good friends. You all are great.

I have to say, this was one GREAT CBGT! Thanks to Greg and Cindie, and everyone who showed up, especially all our wonderful Canadian friends! Blake, the seafood chowder was once again to die for! It was so great to see Brock on Bambina! We loved our Desolation Sound cruise with you! Russ and Toni, we love you guys, keep on keepin' on being C-Brats! Larry, you are always welcome on Widgeon! I loved doing the christenings, hope everyone enjoyed that, it is such an important part of the C-Dory fellowship! On to Poulsbo and Ladysmith, but PLEASE sign up for Bellingham!

I had a great time at the Friday Harbor gathering and the cruise to and from Bellingham was delightful. Lots of good conversations about boating and other subjects were rewarding and fun. Special thanks to Jan and Sam for their insight and to Pat & Patty for their hospitality. Greg and Cindie's efforts were top notch.
