Marc,
If you need any help after the storm:
I have a chain saw.
Let me know and I will come to
Apalachicola and give you some help.
FREE HELP! Did I say FREE - Yes.

Where do most folks stay down there; is there one motel where most folks gather, or do they just stay where they can and hang together at the River Crest meeting room? We won't have a boat as it's still in my shop, but are considering making the trip. We had been planning on the Annapolis Powerboat Show, but are rethinking as there is perhaps some possibility we might learn more about C-Dory's at this gathering than up Ego Alley...
We've not been to any C-Brat gatherings before and don't know the protocol regarding group dinners and want to make sure we kick in to share costs and labor.
By the way - this is all Marc's fault... |

Marc usually has arranged some special rates at the Water street Hotel. The Gibson or the River Inn are popular. A few have stayed on St. Georges Island. At times there have been a cabin or so out near River Crest available. Check with Marc for specifics this year. Sign up now--because this is not far away. There may be some less expensive places in town.
The activities are basically all at the River Crest. The meals are provided by Marc--with the exception of lunches. I have "passed the hat" to allow folks to put in what they think it is worth to them, for several dinners, breakfasts and the commradery.
Some of us who cannot bring our boats for various reasons, bring types of RV's--boater home camping occurs, Never had any tents, but why not..sleeping bags on the porch? |

I'll check on accommodations further tomorrow and book 'em. Once that's done I'll confirm on the gathering sign-up here.
Thanks, doctor... 'Twill be good to see you again. |

tomherrick,
You might also check out the Best Western in Apalachicola. We are staying there. Nice and clean, good rooms, pool, and free breakfast.
There are several good Bed and Breakfast places.
Also the El Rancho Motel. Not as nice.
We have also stayed at the Main Stay Inn in Port St. Joe about 30 miles away when everything in Apalachicola was booked. This place is a fine motel.
Google accommodations in Apalachicola.
You will have the best time ever in a C-Dory. |

Well, booked a room at El Rancho for about half the price. Had to use the phone as their Web site keeps changing to the current date... But, it'll be just fine 'cuz we'll be there. |

El Rancho has improved from years past [changed hands] , so that's probably an economical choice . The Water street is proud of their nice location and doesn't give much of a break these days, but still has slips in the marina and good bathrooms and floating docks . The Gibson is fun and a great downtown location as well as the Apalachicola River Inn . I think Duck [Jim] has one of the cabins and the other may be available . You can call Dolores Roux at 850.653.9081
We might have a slip or two at the city marina under the bridge as well . Crude bathrooms , no shower but usually free !
We look forward to seeing everybody !

Good to hear the good news about El Rancho's improvement. Looks like a coupla steps up from the Sportsman's Lodge... ...which will suffice for a one-nighter with a roof. |

Has anyone stayed at the Buccaneer Inn on St. George? My wife likes to walk on the beach in the morning so was planning on booking a room there. _________________ Bill & Sherry C-25 sold 2020, next? |

Apalachicola Gathering 10/2016
Brenda and I regret having to withdraw from this gathering. We have attended every year for nine years since Mark with Wefings Marine first began this event. Memories of old friends will be cherished and of course taking our beloved "Falcon" out across the bay to explore an old shipwreck in the cut will be just a vision in the mind's eye.
However age related health issues has taken it's told.
THANK YOU Mark with Wefings Marine
