Sorry !, Butt Hunkey Dory will not be able to make the trip. The trailer came off the hitch ball and broke the safety brake cable. I do plan to take my trailer to a trailer dealer to have it repaired. We do plan to be there next year. Who ever has the t-shirts please email me so I can pay for them and shipping cost. :thdown :thdown For the trailer. :thup For the rest

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great time. Ernie and I really enjoyed the week-end. I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who helped me out in my times of need. Thanks to Jim and Sandy on Pandy Girl for bringing the paper products and for cooking up the hot dogs and burgers Friday night. Thanks to Ron and Karen on Wave Walker for bringing the water and cold drinks. Thanks to everyone who came with food and desserts for the Pot-luck. The meal was great. Thanks to everyone who helped carry trash, grab lines and help others with information about our local waters. Thanks to the guys who helped bring Rigs and people to and from the Ramp. The weather could of been better, but you can't beat a double rainbow over the Marina. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones.

Hi all,

Janda and I had such a wonderful time at the NC Gathering. It was great meeting such nice folks! And many thanks to Erma and Ernie for all the work they did in preparing for the gathering.

You all encouraged us to do the Carolina mini-loop. Sooo, last Tuesday we launched from Pelican Marina in Elizabeth City. We went up the Dismal Swamp Canal . The first night we stayed at the visitors center and moored with two large sailboats. The next day we finished the Dismal but not before visiting with a bobcat sunning itself on a fallen tree out in the water. We took the cutoff over to the Albemarle & Chespeake Canal and the North Landing River and stopped for the night at Centerville Bridge Marina. There was a really big thunderstorm that night in which we really got quite wet. The next day we continued through Currituck Sound to Coinjock. We stayed that night at the marina, enjoying the food , people, and the quiet beauty. Also great fun mooring with five 50-to-60-foot yachts and watching other 130-foot yachts pass by. The challange for me was the run around Camden Point and into Albemarle Sound, which we did in the early morning on Friday and were back at Pelican Marina by noon for lunch at the Colonial Restaurant in Elizabeth City.

Great time, great trip! Thanks for encouraging us to do the Mini-Loop!
We'll post pictures later, after we get home.
