01/26 - 01/28 - Seattle Boat Show

I can't add much except repeat what everyone else has said. Robbin and I had a great time. Friday night was so much fun in a nice relaxed atmosphere with friends and soon to be friends.
The factory out did themselves. I think back to 2003 when we had the party at the motel Chivita managed. There may have been 40 people at that gathering and today it has grown to 200 plus. It is an amazing group and something I am proud to be a part of.

Thanks to all who made this event possible, we had a great time, we didn't get to meet everyone, but there is always next year. We hope to attend some gatherings on the water later on and continue these new friendships.
My wife Toni took some pictures and we have posted them our album, unretouched, and in no particular order. Thank you all again.

Russ & Toni Thank you for all the great photos. I believe you got just about every Brat at least twice.

For those of you that missed the link to their album, it is HERE.

Rick,

Yes, the new 22 looks a lot like that. The consol was farther forward and with a T-top.

That new boat should be a flat water hot rod with the cabin weight removed.
 
We had a wonderful time at the SBS & the CBC. Many thanks to Roger, C-Dory and everyone else involved in making this such a memorable weekend. It would have been absolutely perfect if Dusty and Les could have been there. We missed you guys!

WOW, what a special weekend. Since we are really new to the C-Dory we didn't know what to expect, but whatever, our expectations were far exceeded! The Hawthorne dinner was great, and what a pleasure to meet so many wonderful folks who all were there to enjoy the company of the rest who all enjoy their C-Dory craft, no matter which size or in how many pieces :wink Then the Factory tour, dinner, prizes and sharing was just way over the top. Thanks to all those who worked so hard to get it all together, and to the factory crew from the owners, dealers to the parts and supply room folks. They are all special and Deena and I want to say thanks all around. It was nice to meet and chat and we are looking forward to some good CBGT times to come. Thanks again and it was our pleasure to get to be there. You all are great!! :D :thup

WOW, what a weekend!!!!!!
I want to thank everyone for making this event the best ever. We unoficially had 62 rooms reserved at the Hawthorn.157 room nights. we had approximatly 125 people at the party on Friday night and it was great to see so many of you. the only problem was, that even with the name tags, I still failed to meet some of you.
On Saturday night, the open house and dinner at the factory was quite the bash. A estimated 250 +/- were in attendance.the surprise visit of the Seattle Seafair Pirates made for a very colorfull addition to the theme of the party. My observation was that the keg got empty mighty fast once the pirates showed up....lol.....

Thank you ,C-Dory Company, for a wonderfull time at your factory. the food was great and the garage sale was a hit. I saw a lot of supplies being taken out the door for pennies on the dollar. also thank you for supplying us with the comp. tickets to the boat show. we were responsible for approximatly 165 tickets being dispersed. I hope that everyone who wanted tickets was able to get them

One other piece of business that got overlooked at the Friday night gathering was for us to have a moment of silence for a fellow C-Brat that departed us in 2006 I would like to at this time ask everyone to take a moment in memory of Norm S. :rose
 
Finally got my hands on a couple of photos from the events... For those of you/us who enjoyed the Argosy Locks Cruise during the boat show C-Brat events, you all know we had a great time....and what weather we had for sure. My Mom's 1st trip to the Seattle area and I think it is safe to say she had a blast!!

Great fun...great day on the water.

Bill & El: Thanks for the pics.

Pat - You could at least have mustered some five o'clock shadow for that photo! What kind of pirate has big ol' rosy cheeks around a huge, cheesy smile?

Acutally, you guys have convinced me - I'll have to try to get up there next year.

I should have posted this with my review , OH WELL, better late than never...lol...

Mike Taylor, His boat the Pappilon, traveled from Naples Florida,( 2,978 miles), to come to the Seattle Boat Show and CD gathering. he won the prize for traveling the farthest. here is a pic of his prize

Roger (Sensei),
I keep meaning to ask you, but keep forgetting. Did you make that fine sculpture? It certainly made a great gift for the person that traveled the farthest!
 
Hi Dave
No, sadly I did not make it. I found it at the country store(skagit farmers supply) in Stanwood. they have a lot of nice ones to choose from. I was able to get them to sell it at cost to me so it wasn't to much out of pocket.
 
Now talk about a Cheesy smile... now that I think about it, there was allot of Cheese at that party.... neat plaque, well done..thanks

Joel,
That smile was because I was preying that the C-Brat from Little Cayman Island hadn't sneaked in the back door on me. I have the plaque hanging front and center in my home. The Puget Sound holds great memories for me and I was very pleased with Roger's selection of gifts not to say a little S1000 auto pilot wouldn't have been put to good use too.....
