AW shucks, they didn't get Pancakes at the Grist Mill, Really missed Hontoon, Also a number of good restaurants, They only got as far South as Sanford, where as some of us have gotten as far South as the outskirts of Orlando (on the Econlockhatchee River)--did that one year, part way with Molly Brown--but repeat attempts have found the way blocked with weeds. _________________ Bob Austin

That being said, if you prefer secured lots, there are a few of those nearby as well but I’ll let others chime in that know those specifics. |

Good question....where to launch. Most C-Brats launch and park at Ed Stone Park on HW 44 on the east side of the St. John’s River. Hontoon Island is 5 or so miles south of there. So far in the last 8 years that the gathering has been held no damage or theft from vehicles left there. In fact one nameless C-Brat left his keys in an unlocked truck for a day or so and no problems! If you launch there be sure to park your rig as far as possible from the ramp towards the highway.
I have left my rig there dozens of times. Looking forward to seeing “newbies” and “old timers” in March.

I’m new to the c-brats and have not attended a get together yet, but want to attend this one. I have reserved a slip at the park, and a hotel in town. Is there any more scoop on this event besides this thread?
Would like an overview on what to expect. Thanks much for any gouge you can share, Appreciative new guy:)

Welcome to the group Burt. If you go to the main C-Brat page look at the header bar. Second from the left is titled Forums...click on that. Second line down click on C-Brat cruises and gatherings. Then 12 lines down will be the thread from last year's gathering, all 9 pages that have an amazing 41,736 views. That should help give you some idea how it all plays out. Tom and Joyce do an amazing job putting this event together and are masters at getting volunteers to help out, all the while keeping the whole thing very casual. If you have specific questions you'll find many willing to answer.
Look forward to meeting you,

I have a few items I’m bringing for the silent auction. One of those items is the commode and integral 9 gal tank I pulled out of C-Traveler’s head. However unless anyone says they would be interested in it or bidding on it, I may decide not to haul it all the way down out of space considerations. |

I bought one of those for my son's 25 Cruiseship about 4 or 5 years ago--Always a possibility that someone would want it...
If I owned a 2002-2004 25 I would put this in, rather than the aft holding tank. |

Ken, one suggestion for the form. Don't make the home phone a requirement if that can be changed. I was going to leave that blank since my wife and I just use cellphones. However, the form wouldn't load unless I put a number in the home phone spot. Also, I just noticed on the email notification I got after filling the form out, that it is saying 2021 for the gathering. (But the form did show 2022.) Colby |
