Anyone that will not be coming please remove your name from the signup lis
Best laid plans....The vaccination is getting in the way, Mary is scheduled for her second shot for the first week of March, would have to wait a couple days after that to leave to make sure there are no reactions. It's too many miles to cover in too few days to be able to make it on the 9th to Hontoon.I changed my reservation to the 12th. |

Thanks Alain for letting us know. We are very close to our maximum group size for Florida State parks. Glad you will be able to still come out on the St. John’s after Mary gets her vaccinations. Good chance we will run into you sometime as we will be cruising after the gathering. No need to bring your Mepps #5 down here as there are no northern pike in Florida that I know of.
I’m saving mine for Lake Superior this summer.
Travel safe......Tom _________________ Tom and Joyce Schulke

My Mepps #5 never leaves the boat, I do shine it up once in a while as it has not been in much use lately. |

We have made the determination that Serendipity and her occupants, C. A. and Bettie Derivas, will not be in attendance for the wonderful Hoontoon Is gathering. We are sorry to have to cancel out but health concerns are taking front and center.
We have cancelled our marina registration. Site 2a is now available from March 7-13.
Have a great time! _________________ C. A. and Bettie |

C. A. And Betty
Sorry to hear that the gathering is not going to work out for you this year. Health concerns and family come first. Take care of yourself and we’ll see what the future holds.

C-Play has just signed up. Cindy and I attended last year and had a great time & were looking forward to this year. However, I am planning to come solo this year because Covid concerns have Cindy staying home. She is definitely in for next year. I've got a few KN-95s and have been getting by at work without getting infected so I figure this will even be less risk. Looking forward to it.

I plan on stopping by one day, I'll be down having an adventure, camping on my 17' open skiff. You will probably spot me easily being 33 years old?
Never having seen a C-Dory in person I'm looking forward to checking them out before acquiring one.
I'll be practicing social distancing (even though I'm a firefighter and have been exposed many many times) in respect for everyone but still hoping to be able to chat and check out some boats.

Welcome aboard! We have some firefighters in the group. " Ranger Rick", is a Florida State Parks firefighter, who usually comes to the Hontoon gathering. We have some young folks in the group also.
Awesome videos that you make--and the 17' flats boat is most interesting. After watching the Steinhatchee video, I wondered if you used an anchor as a safety precaution? Raw scollops for dinner! Only in Florida. (Well away from civilization!). Canned octopus is good--but we have only caught them, never out of a can.
See you at Hontoon. _________________ Bob Austin

Time not right for us. Good to meet Capt Bob at Silver Glen Spring. We are currently in covered dock Riviera Resort ($7.00/night) waiting out cold in AR. If it doesn’t warm up we may still be here in March.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Ha, glad you enjoy the videos! I did use an anchor but I didn't anticipate a 180 degree wind shift on that night. Now, I have 2 anchors that would have made the situation much better.
Cya soon at Hontoon! |

Less than 30 days to the gathering. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the gathering. I was out on the St. John’s last week for a day trip with family and the water level looks good. Saw the Sandpiper at Silver Glen Springs. To bad you can’t make the gathering. Many next year?
Joyce is working on getting the supplies together for the group. Remember to think about the boat and galley gadgets. Prizes will be given. Clean out your boats and bring excess “treasures” for our fundraiser silent auction to benefit the park.
Be sure to make reservations before you arrive as they no longer take reservations at the park. There is some construction near Ed Stone park as a new bridge is being constructed. Should not be a problem. Just be sure to park as close as you can toward the highway away from the ramp.
Renee, the park manager is recovering from Covid-19. He was in intensive care for about a week. I’m not sure he’ll be back before the gathering. Keep his recovery in your thoughts and prayers.
Till later.......Tom |
