    I think that stopping at the pub on the way back makes great sense! :) We will need a break on our way to H dock!

I am done work at noon on Friday, so will bring Natural C-lection up that afternoon from Victoria (unless I decide to...

    I took some pictures today of the H dock area and the event tent and have posted them on my Picasa web albums. Here is the link: https://picasaweb.google.com/107085608707498595852/PortSidneyMarina?authkey=Gv1sRgCJjem6q_lL_M4gE I don't know how to embed HTML code to show the images here...

    I went up to the Marina and had a look around and chatted with the office staff. They seem to know about us now!. H dock looks pretty nice. I will upload some pictures soon. There are now 14 of us registered and all are on H dock now! The event tent looks pretty nice too! Customs is on G dock.

    10 year anniversary?

    Thanks Bob for the bit of history! The oct 2003 date would definitely be the beginning of this server running on PHPBB. I have to say this is one of the best configured forum sites/communities I have encountered for my various hobbies - hats of to TyBoo and Da Nag!

    10 year anniversary?

    I was looking at the member list and it looks as if the first c-brat members are from Oct 2003, which means we have a 10 year anniversary coming up. Is this info correct?

    Hi peter, I just looked at the map, but the font is too small for me to see any numbers. http://www.portsidney.com/marina-map/ Perhaps you have a virtual spot with free wifi? :) I plan to go and have a wander around on Thursday. I did notice that H dock is about as far as we can get from the...

    Sorry to hear about your challenges. I was talking with Kristine who seemed to know what was going on - however, she may not have told everyone else! I have asked her to keep a bunch of H spots for us. I will mention to Kristine (who I think is in charge) that people have been having trouble...

    I think we are now at 11 boats and maybe plus "no boat" Shirley! I ran into "Upgrade" at the Butchart fireworks on Saturday. Does anyone have contact info for them? They are Sidney based as well.

    Shirley, it would be great to see you at the gathering. You are most welcome to drop by at any time. Your old boat will be there... Good idea about the Thursday market.

    Hello all, I am back from a great trip in Peru and back to spending some time organizing the gathering! We already have 10 boats signed in at the marina. First of all, it seems that several people are scattered on A and B docks, but the group is supposed to be gathering on H dock as that is...

    low cost shorepower solution?

    Is a guest 2611A dual battery charger a good unit? Seems to have good reviews. The other parts list for shorepower seems to run at about $320 at West Marine plus the 110v outlets and wiring.
