05/15 - 05/17 - 2015 Friday Harbor Gathering
- Thread starter colobear
- Start date
Hello Brats!
Ari is looking forward to hosting our first gathering and have enough of the details on hand to share them with the group. We are launching Thursday evening at Cornet Bay and heading out Friday around 8am.
When you arrive at the Port of Friday Harbor Marina, there is no need to call in for a slip assignment with the port. They reserve the inside of H dock and the shore-end of G dock for our group. Look for the other C-Brats to dock next to and we will be monitoring VHF 68 if you have any questions as you come in. Usually a bunch of us are there Friday and will help you get moored. Once you are settled at the dock, make note of your slip # and please walk up to the office to get checked in for the weekend.

Hi Martin,
Blues skies will be heading south to FH on the 14th. We are arriving in Nanaimo on the 11th so lots to do to get the boat ready and out of storage in the time available. Let us know when you are passing through.

Hi all, we have been getting Kerri On all pretty for the season, all just about ready. However we have had some family commitments come into our cruising plans. We are going to miss this one, after much anticipation of seeing all our friends. We will be helping move my aunt into assisted living and prepping her house for sale. We will likely be a couple days local next week and grab a week in the Gulf Islands around 17-23 May. Depending on how it goes with my Aunt. Anyone passing thru let us know, we'd be happy to meet up, drive you for supplies etc. Maybe see some of you in the Gulf Islands on the way north. We'll catch up on down the road Sorry to miss this one, Carolyn and George
George, isn't it funny how life gets in the way of cruising plans?! :roll:
We have about 10 days after FH and the American Memorial day is in the middle of that, so we might come north to the Gulf Islands to avoid those crowds but maybe we better wait until the 19th when VC day crowds will hopefully have gone home. We love the Sausage pies we find in Ladysmith and in Chemainus bakeries. Gee, there must be some other reason to come north.

George and Carolyn, sorry to hear you won't be at Friday Harbor. Sure glad we got to meet in Chemainus. Great to get to see you two. Next time there we need to get back to Barnacle Barry's, just up the way from the bakery. The Fish and chips there were excellent.
Chuck, (See above for another reason to go to Chemainus :lol: Hope to see you at Friday Harbor too. It's been a while since the trip into Sidney.

I was hoping we'd get there (by land and ferry) to see our C-Brat friends, but circumstances are conspiring against us... 5 days in Iowa getting shake-down stuff on the motorhome taken care of, and now we are waiting out blizzard conditions in the Black Hills. No, we are not in the blizzard conditions... we are east of there, in Mitchell, SD, where we were evacuated today from our motorhome to the RV office, and then to the motel next door due to tornadoes in the area. It was close, but no damage here at the RV park... damage and injuries south of us.
Not from lack of trying.
Have a fun gathering!
Jim

We have had plenty of water since we left Texas, Harvey... all of it falling from the sky. :crook
Have fun in FH,
Jim
I just watched the evening news. :shock: :roll: Twisters (BAD) and Snow in South Dakota. Nasty weather from Texas to the Dakotas and east. You all are in my prayers. Be careful and stay safe.
And Jim, With that kind of weather going on there, don't be surprised if the you see the dolphins falling out of the sky. Helmets, everybody.

And for those other non-fisher people planning a weekend launch for Friday Harbor this coming weekend, KNOW THIS. Halibut season is upon us. that means the launch sites could be crazy. I counted 147 boat trailers in the John Wayne launch parking area -- which include almost a half mile away up White Feather Road. A great time to look at trailers, if your in the mind.
It gets a bit crazy at the ramp so plan wisely. Most of these are strictly fishermen, and sometimes their patience for us, (especially solo) cruisers is fairly thin, especially late in the day. Maybe that has to do with being out on the water for a long day and still not having any fish on board.
For the fish people reading this, two things. I try to stay out of the way, and I understand your passion. AND the second. There were at least 2 halis at over 100 pounds and several more in the 60 - 75 pound bracket this weekend.
So cruisers, check with your launch facility or a local fisherman and confirm the local season dates and times. Might save some time and energy.

I'm looking forward to cruising again and meeting everyone this weekend at Friday Harbor. I've been a profoundly absent Brat for half a decade, so to many I'll just be the new guy on the dock. Since rediscovering bicycling in summer '10, 16,800 miles and 435 rides have taken my attention away from Bambina, my other love. Yesterday we rode 112 miles. With no beer.
But I just couldn't miss the Friday rendezvous this year because I heard Bill (Danag) got a stylish new Meridian 341 that I've got to tour. I'm just so excited for him, and I sense this is the vessel that better fits his sensibilities.
