C-Brats Annual Spring Fling- April 20-22?

jimandlaurie

Ok Folks,
Got some feedback at the SBS about a Spring Fling. The plan is for April 21-22 or maybe even 20-22, open to ideas on that. But we propose to hold it at Dock Street Landing in Tacoma's Foss Waterway. There is a new Marina adjacent to the Chihuly Glass museum and we are right at downtown Tacoma,and there is a free Tram for getting around downtown.
Also, another good reason is that the Daffodil Marine Parade in conjunction with the Daffodil Festival is that weekend.All the C-Brat's on Sunday could raft up near the shoreline and watch the big parade of decorated "boat floats", and accompanying flagships during the Daffoldil Marine parade.
Just Google Daffodil festival, or Tacoma Yacht Club for info on the parade, and Foss Waterway or Dock Street Landing Tacoma ,for info on moorage details. Links will follow in later posts.

Great idea, Jim!! Good way to kick off the Spring season -- lots of good museums nearby you say, good restaurants, the boat (and land) parade, and best of all -- good companionship of C-Dory folk. We have it circled on the boat log and hope to be there.

Jim, Good idea! I was tossing around the idea of having a CBGT in the South Sound. Maybe this might be the answer.

Thanks Peter,
We usually do have something in the spring in the South Sound , and with the re-vitalization of the Tacoma waterfront ,there is a lot to do and see now and it won't be long until it wil be discovered by all the other boaters out there too. Besides we could really show those yacht clubbers how the Brats do it on Daffodil Weekend! Any help on it would be appreciated.

Also keep in mind that Boat Season Opening Day is usually the first week-end in May. I will be calling Kathy at the Lopez Islander in the next week or so to let her know we are coming and find out if anything has changed from past years.

If you don't mind having a boat of another color Embarassed

, we would love to buzz on over and meet some of the Brats. Our boat is just across the water at Foss Landing.

Anybody in the C-Brats or Wannabe C-Brats come on over. Boats of all " colors" are welcome ,even some of the ones not currently being built, if you all get my drift.
That's what makes us the "friendliest group on the water."

Count us in with the usual caveats. Although I am scared at how much the Admiral may spend in the Glass Factory.
