03/18 - 03/20 Jarrell Cove, WA

Catman, Geez, and to think I taught math! I get it now. Yes, 19's ruled. I sure wish I had a picture of Mar-T and C-Run beating into those southerly swells. We made a splash for sure. We had to run into the wind to Devil's Head, that was a slog. When we turned downwind after Devil's Head, it was much more comfortable and fun.Those boats really love going down hill. After sitting at home for a few hours I was very thankful we left when we did. The winds kicked up to 35 plus and it poured. Mike and his son Mike Jr. had plenty of time to get home before that storm hit.

It was a bummer that it rained, but it gave us a chance to drag dirt into the warm cabins of Luna-C and Anita Marie's "road home" and share stories and close quarter "indefatigable camaraderie." Thanks Janet and Chris, and Fred and Robbin. Your warm hospitality was appreciated greatly. I am sorry the roof is still leaking in C-Run, but that heater is the berries. :D Thanks to Jim and Laurie for sharing their abode with the homeless, Pat, Patty and Austin. And thanks to Hunter for cooking up all the marshmallows. What a little cutie he is! Thanks also to Cordell who delivered wood, and to Marty for driving all the way from Ollala to share her delicious cookies and soup. Mike and Mike Jr, thanks for the escort.

Thanks to Pat and Patty for the pictures. You did a great job of showing the faces that made the weekend so special. And thanks too for the Snoqualmie. :beer

We missed Susan E, Brave Heart and Liberty Call, but with this weather, understood.

Robbi (after a good nights sleep last night, I think that I am back to normal!)
 
We enjoyed the trip and the company as well. We were impressed with the boatless representation - three of those waiting for 25's. And Brock. (He had no excuse to be baotless - bet Bambina is pissed!)

Might this be the first gathering with more Brats arriving via land rather than water?!? OK , Maria Consuela did make an apperance to even the score.
 
Thanks Robi for the :phone today, it was so nice to hear from you I am glad everyone made it home safe. Even though we got wet, bounced around, scared to death, battered and bruised, my son and I had a great time. He said to tell everyone he enjoyed meeting all of you.

Robi I am so glad we did not wait to leave later, as you stated, it only got worse as the day went on. There was no way to retrieve my boat at the Manchester ramp without fear of being crushed by the boat crashing into the trailer. I ended up climbing back aboard :sad and driving on into Port Orchard for the haul-out. :D "Trips we make today are memories we share tomorrow!"
Hope to see everyone soon down south.
Mike,Marty and Mike Jr.
 
Oh, the fish whacker!! Sure, sure. Geez, I must have had too many Copperheads. My bad. Nice workmanship David. I have never seen anything like it. Really. :? It's wonderful, thanks. Robbi
