Count us in for Saturday. My Wife Lorraine and I have a 22' Cruiser we bought in California in 1990. Another Hunky Dory. We towed her to Maryland where we cruised the Potomac for 7 years and towed her to South Berwick, Maine where she's tucked away for the winter. Looking forward to meeting C Dory owners. Is there a boat show website for directions?
See you then.

Time and Date of gathering set???

They may be moving the Seattle Boat show dates forward due to Seattle Seahawks being in playoff games. Town can not support both game and boat show crowd.

Might could change flights back to the east side to Saturday 14 Jan instead of 15 or 16th.... if they move the dates forward.

Airport and hotel recommendations please.

In an attempt to firm up some plans for this event, I polled the signed up attendees. Here’s a plan. Obviously, we’re flexible and can change to suit situations. But, this will get us started, or at least get us all to one point at the same time!

What: The C-Dory 2006 Providence Boat Show Gathering
Where: Providence RI Boat Show www.providenceboatshow.com
Date: Saturday, Jan 14, 2006
Time: 2:00 PM
Meeting Place: Y-Landing Marina, C-Dory Exhibit
Dinner: 6:00 PM
Restaurant: TBA ( Once I get an approximate number of dinner attendees, I can query local eateries to see who can handle us, or we can decide at the show.)

WOW... way high flight prices between Seattle, WA and RI....then back down to Nashville, TN. Does not look like I can make this one. Sorry gang... cost prohibitive here..... That is a bunch of boat toy money.

Sorry you can't make it Pat. El and Bill spoke fondly of you on the Erie Canal and said you would fit right into our litte (but growing) Northeast C-Brat group. We'll look for you next time. Maybe on the Chesapeake next spring?

Have a ball in Seattle!

I do not believe that any person has ever spoken anything other than fondly about the honorable Mr. Bryd. With the possible exception of that one recruit who prompted Pat's forced enrollment in the "touchy, feely" training, that is.

I think you guys will find you are really onto something with this boatless gathering along with the boat show.

Enjoy!

Based on responses, I think about 14 - 16 people are going to dinner. I've made reservations at the Union Station Brewery for 6:00 PM, Saturday, 1/14/06. It's within walking distance of the Boat Show. It could be raining that night, based on predictions in Maine.

John, we're looking forward to seeing the new 25 ft C-Ranger Tug. You're bringing one to the show, aren't you? Better yet, could you have one in the water for us to try out?

Thanks for the help Dan & Dun.

Greeting all, my friend beth and I are planning for a road trip to the boat show. And were equally excited to hear of a brew pub gathering at 6. See you there!

Rick, if you can have the names and numbers of the C-BRATS coming we can have eveybody's tickets waiting at will call. Might be easier to E-Mail them to me. Include the numbers for yourself!
Take an umbrella for SATURDAY everybody! An inch of rain at least. This IS like SEATTLE I guess...

Safe Trip Everybody!
Go C-DORY!!!

Hi John,

That's super. I e-mailed the names of all I know. I haven't met Smuttynose, yet, so don't know their names.

We're looking forward to having a ball tomorrow, meeting so many new C-Dory people and reuniting with the usual suspects. And, we will wear foul weather gear.

The Providence C-Dory Gathering is history. It was quite a time. The Y-Landing Marina folks were gracious hosts, and let us play with the new 22’ and Tomcat til we had picked and pawed every part and piece. It’s interesting to see how changes have evolved based on user input.
It was the largest Northeast C-Dory gathering yet. 16 went to dinner. ( A new Indoor World Record) We met 3 new C-Dory families. And, we found out that there really is a Sheila for Fred.
Now, if Dan gets a Tow vehicle and Dick repowers, maybe we will have some more boats come play with us this summer. We also get to expand our possible gathering sites with a C-Dory on the Connecticut River and one in Dartmouth. We discussed several possible new Cruise Gatherings for this year.

Thanks for a good time, Rick and Carol from Maine

Hi Folks,

A good time was had by all. We met some new friends, and Sheila (InnLady) came with me. John and Tuffy joined us for supper, and Dun put a Hex on the Pats. He said that they would lose. As soon as I got back to Hingham, and settled in my chair, they started to lose. Still a Great Day.

Next show, Foxboro.

Sorry Fred,

I didn't know my hex power was THAT good. I figured if I had to suffer through the Giants' awful loss, you Pats fans should suffer too. Next year, eah?

We had a great time, even though the weather was lousy. Good to see everyone again, and meet the Wasses and the Aubes and Gordons too. I hope you can join us this year for some cruises. Thanks also to the Y-Landing crew for the tickets and the tour of the new boats, including the Tom Cat 25. Hopefully we'll see you at Winnipesaukee in May.

I'll try to post a few shots soon.

So glad to hear that all worked out well for our friends at the Prov. Boat Show and that weather couldn't dampen spirits (nor did they after 27 straight days of rain in Seattle for their boat show). Dun -- what do you charge for a good hex?? We can think of a few politicians that might be better off with one, and it would save Fred's Pats from future spells.
We hope to do a little cruising on Lake Powell in April -- anyone up for a trip to the SW?? Our best to you all.

Glad you had a good gathering, we sure did on the Left Coast!

So, Rick, tell us, did you buy a 25? All of us tried to help... Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
