What a wonderful weekend! Thanks, Jon and Cynthia Very Happy

You folks are just so awesome. Friday night pizza, a delicious tasty latte Saturday morning, a nice fire that evening and more food. Wow! So nice to meet the new arrivals and say hello to those we already know. Just a great time!

I also posted some photos of the Sequim gathering Here. I tried to identify the boats at the dock and the member name. If you see a mistake, please let me know so I can correct it. I cleaned the boat and put her to bed, now I am going to hit the sack.

Thanks, Dave. Much better. And the pics are great, too. Good seeing you again this weekend.

And thanks, Ruth and Joe, for reminding me to thank those guys again for the pizza delivered to the dock. That was a real lifesaver for a tired old grandpa whose three kids had last eaten some stuff we picked up to go in Astoria.

And it's just too bad the new owner of the first Little Buddy didn't make it so Fred could have had three boats present with which he has had relations, and still have his big one at home. At his young age, he is pushing hard to catch up with Dusty.

I am so sorry that I was not able to make it over there this weekend. Cry

we are right in the middle of digging out the potatos and putting into storage. Thumbs Up

I had great thought of trying to get some sweet corn over but was just to darn busy to get away long enough to meet up with Pat & Patty to give it to them.
Thankyou Pat for trying to make it work.
It has been a tradition to have it there.
Hopefully next year will be a different story

Dave- Thanks for the beautiful photos. The setting, the dogs, the food, the people, the wedding, and of course the boats. Our printer is humming away making copies for our refrigerator. Hopefully Dotty and I will make next year.

Milehog- sorry to hear of your accident, that must feel about like a stout shot to the groin area. In an attemp to perhaps make you feel a bit better about missing the Squim thing, I'd like to report that the weather, food and company was poor, but it wasn't, it was all most excellent. There will be many more gatherings after the boat gets repaired.

What a great time we had, these C-Dory gathereings are just like a family reunion, cept, without the violence and bloodshed.

Well, our record is intact. We missed this party again. We almost made it. Couldn't get away on Friday night, so we got to Anacortes around 11:30 am on Saturday. It was after noon before we got fuel, so we decided to punt and just went to Olga on Orcas Island for lunch and then stayed at Cap Sante and cleaned up the boat on Sunday. It wasn't as much fun, but at least we finally got the boat work finished after the trip two weeks ago.

We did miss seeing all of you again. Maybe next year.

B-C, thanks. What's that old baseball lament? "Wait till next year!"

Having all sorts of trouble posting pics to the Sequim album. I tried 5 at a time and it "choked" tried a .zip file and it choked, tried one picture alone and it worked so I tried a second one and it came back with an error message which led me to a web site where they spoke a dialect of "computerese" which was beyond my knowlege.

They are BIG files but I did it before with the Bellingham pictures...

Bill or Mike, any ideas please...?

I noticed the pic of Tyboo Mike has 15 views and the bride pic has 40, why do you suppose that is?

Cynthia and I had a blast as usual. As it turned out, Cynthia got the weekend off but it was to late to get the boat. Oh well, the camper wasn't a bad way to go.

Anyhow, what a great bunch of neat folks. Weekends like that make my Monday's a little easier. Thanks to everyone for a fabulous weekend.

And thank you both, Cynthia and Jon, for another great Sequim bash. Short for me, because I had to get back to the nest, but the pizza, latte, and breakfast were great - and seeing so many old friends more than worth the trip.

You did a winner again!!!!!

Milehog -

I gotta tell you, we came closer to crying on the dock for your misfortune than we did for the wedding. What a lousy day that must have been. Very sorry for your troubles and for not getting to meet you.

Well...I must say what a trip! Thanks to the hosts and everyone else that we met there. Sure was a nice way to spend the weekend...beautiful scenery and most excellent people!!! Smile

We had a nice time visiting (napping) in Discovery Bay on Saturday. The potluck was superb and the conversation around the fire was a very relaxing way to unwind. On Sunday we took our sweet time making breakfast and hanging out before we left for Port Townsend where we visited for about an hour. We then headed back to John Wayne Marina and buzzed back to Portland. Arrived home around 8pm.

Thanks again,

Crazy John Frazey & Amy too! CoolSmile
