For anyone thats interested in looking at "The greatest collection of C-Dorys in the world" (or at least in Florida) drive on over to Hontoon Island to look us over.
The slips will be full! If you have never been on one this is your big opportunity. From the sign ups it looks like we will have 16' to 26' boats. Anglers, cruisers, commuter and cats!


Blues Cruiser will be there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. She is FOR SALE so anyone interested in a nice 25 with low hours can see and test drive one. Details can be viewed on the C-Dorys for sale page.

Thanks!
John & Karen

Is there public tranportation from Sanford or Orlando to the gathering? Flying in from Oregon. Weds at Epcot and on to the park Thursday to board our friends boat waiting for us at the gathering. Thanks!

Are you renting a car? I don't know of any public transportation to Hontoon Island state park. I take it that you will be staying on the Salty. When you get to the park they do have a ferry to bring you across the river. See you on Thursday .....Tom

Was trying to figure out how to get from the Sanford rental car dropoffs to tbe park but an alert Cbrat spotted a drop off for Enterprise rentals at Deland, very close to the park. Should be able to figure it out from there.

Just getting ready to leave and was looking for food sign up list and noticed our name wasn't on "membership" list. Not a big computer guy but swear I signed up months ago. Any problem with that? We're coming anyway!

Mary and I will be coming to the Hontoon CBGT, but w/o "Dessert 1st" this time. (So one less slip req'd.)

We will drive from The Villages on Friday afternoon (but we plan to be there for the potluck!).

We don't want to miss the campfire festivities, so we're planning to boondock in the back of the pickup on the mainland near the parking area ..., so we'll be looking to 'bum a ride across the river sometime later that evening.

Do I recall a earlier thread that discussed a marine radio freq for CBGT participants? UPDATE: CH 72.

If anyone has errands they need to do - we'll have the truck, and it's an easy run into Deland.

Best,
Casey&Mary

I finally made it to the 3rd cbgt on the St. John's River .Thanks to the Schulkes for all their organizing skills . we all had small jobs to do it was Great fun. Meeting old friends and new it was one of the better Gatherings I've been to . I didn't count but I think there was over 35 boats .The only boats that weren't there were the 16,19,22 anglers . It was really a nice way to see almost all the boats that C-Dory builds .

Wow.....the 3rd Annual CBGT at Hontoon Island was a unbelievable success! Records were broken....the most boats....39 total....the most volunteers....EVERYONE......the most donations to the Park....almost $1300 toward the Bruce Cassal Memorial. We had a donation auction, donated stickers, 50/50 and lots of cash donations. C-Brats are Generous with a capitol G! I talked with Joyce Cassal today and let her know where the money is to be used. First: there will be a new bench on the water at Hontoon by the Marina dedicated to Bruce. Second: A new Large Park Grill will be set by the Marina also dedicated to Bruce. These should be in place by the beginning of April. The old grill will be relocated by the shelter building. As soon as these are in place I will post photos.

A big thanks to everyone! Ken Torres and the rest of the park staff make it well known that we are the nicest group to use the park. I was quite under the weather with a cold during the gathering, but knew that everything would be done and done right. You know who you are and what you did to help at the CBGT....AGAIN THANKS!

Tentative dates for next year are March 7,8,9 2017. Yes....we are going to do a Tuesday to Thursday next year so that more slips will be available.

Any positive comments about Hontoon Island State Park or the staff can be sent to PublicServices@dep.state.fl.us

All for now......Tom

Tom, Thanks for everything. Not just the weekend, but the before and after as well. I had a super great time. Rosanne is looking forward to being able to come down with me next year! (Barring no ice storms....you know how that is in the Midwest that time of year... Sad BTW, I lied about the gas. I told you I had 1/3 tank left. Actually when I looked at it closer, I was just barely under 1/2 tank! lol! The only bummer of my entire trip, was getting to Catfish Kitchen (Lake Kentucky Dam State Park area) on my way home, planning on lunch when they opened at 11am. Well, that time is only on Sundays. Saturday, and the other days of the week when they are open, they don't open till 4p! (At least I got to eat there on the way down...)Yeah, it's all about the food during vacation! Mr. Green
As my post on my facebook page says:
C-Dory vacation was great! But....home sweet home!

Bob..The Econlockhatchee River sounds like a great place to explore. My last trip south ended just north of the mouth. Next time........I'm sure I can get the information out of James........ Glad you're having a good time. Thanks for doing the Q&A on C-Dorys......we all learned a lot.

Till next time....Tom
