Here's what the marina in Elizabeth City was like in May last year... [/img]/Users/schiavolou/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2013/05/24/20130524-095304/IMG_0363.MOV

My 2 cents ( as the lion says): I'm OK with avoiding 3rd weekend, but think May would be better than April for weather crossing the sound, no? Others' input?

Yay - I'm glad somebody is thinking ahead to warmer days. Thanks Neal! Skimmer is up for another loop. We need to start thinking about dates. It's OK with me if we can't coordinate with the Potato Festival this year :wink:

Steve, Thanks for the post and thanks to Joan for the great shot of Skimmer. I had forgotten that the article might show up in Prop Talk, and was just casually thumbing through the issue when, "Hey - that boat looks familiar!" Pretty exciting. Let's do the James again next year.

Erma and other NC Gatherers, Looks like Skimmer is not going to make this trip after all. Sorry to miss the cruise and the company. Hope to see you on another adventure, soon. Lou S.

Erma, Skimmer still hopes to make it. Bob, my usual crew, has jumped ship for this one, so I've become a "Press Gang" of one to find another crewman. What's the plan for Saturday? Lunch in Beaufort was pleasant - could stand to do that again. Seems I saw an agenda but can't find it on...

Skimmer is in. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Great trip! Highlights included: Visiting the world's oldest ham in Smithfield - unfortunately couldn't stay for the ham's scheduled 111th birthday party next day Winding along the beautiful and storied Chickahominy - John Smith and Pocahontas country Riding River Horse a 28' "sea dory"...

"Do not try this at home..."

We've made our marina reservations. Looking forward to it. Hope the deluge has abated by then. Gonna be hot or wet or both.

Skimmer is signed up! Looking forward to seeing everyone and to exploring John Smith & Pocahontas country.

B & B, Thanks for the update. Glad it was a fun trip. Next adventure? You've only scratched the surface of the 11,684 miles of shoreline on The Chesapeake and its tributaries.

We're good with the Fri-Mon schedule, too. Steve - I'd like to take you up on your offer at your place. Got room for a 25 on the pier?

I too am unclear. If "the dates posted on the event calendar will stand," then where will be each night? If we are in Centreville on the evening of the 15th to get underway on the 16th, seems the schedule should say 5/15-19. If we are in Coinjock the evening of the 19th (prime rib - yum!) to...

Sounds good to me, though I don't have to be back for work on Monday! :D

Hey, What's up with this? Are we still up for it? I'm eager to participate but am not able to get it organized. Hope to see you on "The Ditch."

Yay! Let's do it!

Sorry to see IKE with so much running rust. Needs some deck apes with chipping hammers, and a visit to Mary Soo.

Tom, So glad you're back! Hope to see (and hear) you and the famous kazoo marching band again at a gathering this year. Lou S. Skimmer
