09/21 - 09/23 - North Carolina C-Dory Gathering

Carrie & Tracy,

Thanks for such a wonderful gathering! Everyone in my LARGE party had a great time!

It was good to see familiar faces from the Chesapeake, and it was good to make some new friends.

For those who do not know the story, I trailered my C-Dory 475 miles only to find out the Mighty Honda would not start. Bummer.

Gene (Mobile East Marine) worked on it Friday evening when he was supposed to be at the gathering. To top that off he came to my condo and put the Honda back together on Sunday. How's that for dealer support?

In any case I drove to the gathering, ate too much and laughed too hard.

Karen and I would like to thank Carrie and Gene and Tracy and Larry for all their hard work that made the weekend such an enjoyable experience for us. As relatively inexperienced C-Dory cruisers, it was a wonderful way to meet knowledgable and pleasant people who really know how to enjoy their boats and life in general. Everything about the gathering, from the boats, the marina, the food, and the group cruise (AKA Poker Run) was well planned and executed. We are really looking forward to next year! Thanks again, Ron and Karen, C-Dory 19 Sojourn II
 
Sounds like a great time was had by all! Hope all of you look at the possiblilty of coming to Langford Bay in the Chesapeake next June! My place is about 6 hours north of the Norfolk Area, we went to Albemarle Sound a few years ago, took two days!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we had a great time at the "1st Annual NC Gathering". We felt really naked without our C-Dory but it was fun seeing everyone else and getting a grand ride on the 25 Tom Cat for the Poker Run. That was a lot of fun and was really surprised to win!!!!!
Next year we hope everyone will check into coming up to the Chesapeake for our 4th gathering. Thinking of having our own poker run. That was fun.

A big thank you to Carrie, Gene, Tracy and Larry. Great job!

Hi All

Donna has made a photo story of the NC gathering and we will send a copy to anyone who wants it. Just send us your name and address either in pm or email and we will send it.

Again, we had a great time and looking forward to seeing you again.

Dragonfly: Cool link...lots of neat stuff and resources.

Sorry I was not able to make this. I will keep my eyes open next year for the dates...unless they have been set on the docks already...and if so, please let me know.

Jim & Sandy: Glad you two are still gathering hoping. We sure enjoyed you last fall on the Cumberland River. Yall come on back down this year in Nov and drag some others down with you. Should be another nice trip, but a bit slower and a bit more dock/anchor time for just fun and friendship.

Thanks Byrdman,
We enjoyed the River Cruise this spring,
C-Brats this sounds like a good invite,
for the C-Dory owners that live on the East Coast of NC, VA or PA.
There is a lot of great boating (Beautiful sights) on the Rivers of Tenn.
Dragonfly tell others down your way about this one in Tenn.
Thanks Jim
 
:D Hi all !
Donna and Patrick sent us one of those DVD's of the Gathering. She did a terrific job so if you want some good photos of our get together this the best I have seen yet ! Glad everyone had a good time.. We don't have dates set for next year yet. I'll do my best to let everyone know well in advance. Take care, Tracy
 
My "NC Gathering Slide Show CD" was hand delivered today by Patrick and Donna of the "Donna Marie". WOW!...great job Donna! Really sorry that we missed the gathering, but it's so nice to see all of the pics!
Thank you so much Donna!
 
Donna your hard work and creativity in making that dvd is truly appreciated and the end result was awesome. We will continue to enjoy watching it for years to come. Thank you!

I saw these pictures for the first time today and have to say that I was impressed with some of the nature shots and I wanted to share it with everyone.

hi Carrie, et al,
Thats great, we'll take a look at the pix, but first wanted to let you know also, tho' you probably have seen it, that the Gathering also got a full column coverage in the latest Carolina Currents magazine, on page 15, complete with pic of several boats tied up in front of the Whitaker Point clubhouse. Picture caption, "Aren't they A Dory-ble". Good mention of you, Gene and Mobile East Marine, and the weekend's events.
