TyBoo,

WD-50 Laughing

Good form.

I gotta' agree with Da Nag on the photos. It's no wonder everyone sleeps on their boats. Do you have a tin can trip wire set up around the perimeter too?

As far as boaterhoming is concerned, it's a concern. During the first 15 years of our marriage we camped A LOT. And, although the beautiful Terrie is as tough as a pole cat, will cut her own herring, chop up crab bait and has the North Dakota gene pool allowing her to survive in all types of weather conditions; She is much more enthusiastic, funny, pretty, and not as likely to bite your ear off if she has warm running water, electricity, and a warm bed. I, personally, am allergic to burning in hell Twisted Evil

so I do my best to find comfortable accommodations for us :angel. Sleeping in the storage bow of a 16' angler is not worth not waking up in the morning.

Heard a good quote: "You gotta' catch fish to get a good woman, but it takes a good woman to catch fish" Jon

WD-

Just kidding about the accomodations. This cool little meeting and BBQ place is at the marina in Cathlamet:

And, not only is B~C right about the place being "quant", it is also pisscuresque. Here is the restroom/shower facility at the marina.

No problem on the no boaterhoming. I am sure there is a motel in the town or somewhere real close. Maybe the next time Larry goes down to sit with the other retired guys at the marina, he can take the long way and find one.

From the looks of the photo of the C-Brats in the Courtyard sans Banjo, I should become ordained so that I can not only perform vessel christenings, but be able to save a few souls also.......... Laughing

(Glad I missed that gathering, had I been there sitting on the log with you, we would have been arrested for vagrancy for sure!)

Hey WD 40....err 50,
Betcha, you and Terrie could find lodging in one of those vacant rooms above that fine looking saloon. Wink

Naw, that grand and benevolent wood head standing there with the wooden dork on his shoulders is some guy from another group.

Must have been that traveling acrobatic fishing group; Cirq-De-Fillet.

Hello WD-50,
Where in North Dakota is your spouse from? I happen to have been born in Grand Forks N.D. myself.
It seems to me that picture of the wooden head is an Arima boat owner who wishes he had bought a C-Dory instead! Rolling Eyes

Now I am in trouble. Smile

But then that is not new.
Ray I am trying real hard to arrange my schedule to be able to make it down there again. Laughing

Maybe we can have breakfast aboard your boat while the poles are in the water and catch us a springer. Smile

I remember that with fond memories from last year. Remember also wakeing up with a certain young fellow standing by my boat with a hot cup of coffee when I finally got up.!!! What a great bunch of people.
Yes I stayed aboard my 14 footer in Squim and it was nice and cozy. Not much room but I had everything I needed to enjoy the C-Brat outing and hitched a ride with Jon and Cindy when they went cruiseing. Hope to see you at the outing.

lyle-t,

She's from Lignite, N.D. not far from Minot, the B-52 capital of the world. None of her family lives there any more. If you have been there, you know why.

That wooden head picture couldn't be from an Arima owner cuz he/she is holding a fish. Those Arima'ers do tend to catch their share, which, of course isn't as big as our share Wink

WD 50,
I have relatives all over the Grand forks, Mountain and Cavalier areas yet. After being back ther twice in the last 10 years I still cannot figure why any one stays there. If it isn't snow it is Mesquitoes or flooding. Mountian N.D. is where my grand father settled when he came over from Iceland.

My wife informed me today that the weekend of April 10th is Easter weekend. Is this going to affect anyone that was planning on being there? Thoughts?

TyBoo · Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2004 12:26 am Post subject:

I think we'll be OK with it, but it is a very good question. If the date needs to be changed, that's OK too.

I want to schedule a vacation day for the Friday ahead of it, but I haven't asked for it yet. Once the date is set for good, I'll see about getting an extra day.

Mr. Fisherman · Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2004 12:40 am Post subject: Easter eggs?

Who's gonna bring the Easter Eggs?

We are so boat crazy that we didn't even notice.
Good thing we have our wifes to keep us straight.

So, what is the new date gonna be B~C?
