Hey, Langleyites, a little something to put in your New Year's stocking. (They make those, don't they?)

Langley Harbormaster Rick Brewer contacted me about reserving weekend space for our rendezvous next year. We have some choices, but I'm leaning to June 18-20, as a slight, two point favorite over June 11-13, our '09 choice.

So how do all ya'all feel about Langley on Friday, Saturday and Sunday June 18-20?

Brock,

Hope all is well w/ you.

A return to Langley sounds great. It was definitely an enjoyable get together last year and Tanya really enjoyed the many shops in town and we both liked the fine assortment of restaurants.

I assume the close proximity of available high doses of caffeine (lots of coffee shops) is likely a major positive factor for you!

Has Langley undertaken any of the many improvement plans they have for the marina of the surrounding area yet? Probably too soon and the recent financial crisis might have put the brakes on things even further.

Either way, we are looking forward to it.

Take care,
Dan & Tanya
 
Oh boy, I like that get together. The pic in my signature was taken there last year. It's good to hear from Dan and Tanya. I was just thinking about them and wondering how they're doing . Either date works for me. Thanks
 
the weekend of the 11th is good for tides. there are minus tides that weekend so it would be good for a clam dig and feed on the dock
 
Brock,
June 11th, 12th, & 13th works for us. We'll be doing the Port Townsend Regatta on the 18th 19th and 20th. (Additionally, Roger says there won't be any clams left if we wait until the 18th... :wink )
Good job in getting on this!
 
Brock,

What Roger said sounds good, but we'll go with any date that you choose. Really enjoyed the Langley CBGT last year and we're looking forward to the next one in 2010.

Man...how time flies.

I've only made this trip once, but couldn't remember how long ago. Looks like it was back in 2004...and it was one of my more memorable trips. Took our gal Koko along, seen here being the perfect pup in the boat.

I just might have to make this trip again.

I don't recall where I departed from back in '04 - my guess is, it was probably Cornet Bay. If I do it this time, I'll be coming over from Port Angeles...and a launch out of Sequim, is a little farther than I'd like given the limited time I'll likely have.

Any suggestions on where to launch/park to the west? Perhaps Mats-Mats Bay?
 
Bill,

Last year when we went to Langley we put in at Brownsville Marina (see http://www.portofbrownsville.org/) which is just west of Bainbridge Island (B.I.) between Poulsbo and Silverdale.

We stayed the previous night at Brownsville to insure we would be able to leave when we desired since Brownsville's launch ramp is extremely susceptible to being unusable at low tides. From Brownsville its a real short run going northwards behind B.I. and up the east side of Whidbey to Langley.

Obviously, Kingston is another alternative which would be even closer to Langley.

Take care Bill. Say hello to Dana for us. Hope you guys enjoy the holidays and we will likely see you at the SBS C-Brats gathering if you guys go.

Thanks Bill for posting the 2004 photo. So many good memories of that weekend. We'd never been to Langley by boat before and there's our 'first' R-MATEY with Brock's beloved BAMBINA rafted up to us. Joe was in his element what with all the clams/mussels that were available. Ben, the harbormaster was a sight to behold. What an experience! Gotta add that we've also had a couple of other great Langley CBGTs since then and looking forward to 2010.

Thanks Dan - I'll make a note of that, and look into things in more details as the gathering approaches.

RE SBS - I'm currently planning on being there, but not Dana. Probably just flying into Seattle for the weekend.
 
Proof once more that if you build it, they will come...
What a group! Thanks for your response, everyone. Great photo, too.

It's clear that June 11-13 works better for more interested Langleyites. I'll relay our choice to Harbormaster Rick, who'll then etch personalized invitations in marble.

Clams, coffee, kegs of beer and the Man From California! Knowing Da Nag might join us imbues an ethereal effulgence (sans hat), and lends tangible, digital credibility to our humble coterie.

Such a conundrum...dost I feign refinement, or succumb to auxiliaries bordering on incongruous retorts?

Aye, 'tis a fanciful question, upon which I shall reflect and ponder - if only for an instant. Giving way no doubt, to an utterance of content rich with references to flatulence, knowing full well the mirth that shall fill the hearts and minds of my fellow C-Brats.
