2019 Friday Harbor CBGT

[Aurelia]

Hello C-Brats! We have been distracted with travel recently, but it appears that folks are thinking about sunshine in May, including dates and conversation about this event. The dates are indeed set with the port for May 17,18,and 19. Moorage should be fresh this year based on dock upgrades and replacements happening through February for G and H docks. We have a lead on a restaurant for a Friday dinner out, and a Saturday potluck is inevitable.

However, This event needs a new host! After a few years of fun, we have enough conflicts with kid and life, that we just can't be there and need to pass it on. The timing of this event is perfect, as a kickoff to the season, and very well attended and loved. A truly exciting opportunity for a new host to revel in boats and boaters, but no longer viable timing for Ari and her crew.

The event basics are already in motion, and we have outlines/lists to help guide a new host through the event details. Michael Long from the port is all set with moorage and potluck details. These gatherings are very much defined by the host, and so long as there is a potluck (require in the bylaws I think), the rest of the details can be whatever the host determines. Keep it simple, or make it crazy. As long as folks have a place to park their boat, a potluck, and are surrounded by lovely C-Dorys, you really can't go wrong.

Get in touch by PM, or feel free to send us an email if you have questions or are interested in taking this on. We simply can't be there, and need a volunteer to make this event happen for 2019 and beyond.

I just posted this in the other FH CBGT thread so also bring it up here in case the other one gets missed. (Seems we have 2 current almost parallel threads now.)

There is a sign up sheet set up already. I think I saw a note from Tyboo that there was one set up.

Go to the home page, the bar just under the logo has a button for "event signups". Click on that. There will be a tiny window under "Join A Group". Click on the drop down triangle just to the right, inside the window. "Friday Hrbr" will come up. Click on the "View Information" window, and a new page will open. In the "Group Information" box you will see this:

Group name: 05/17 - 05/19 - Friday Hbr CBGT, 2019
Group description: Discussion
Group membership: This is an automatically approved group: click to request membership Just to the right of that there will be a "JOIN GROUP" box or message. Click there and you are in.

Go ahead. It would be great to see you.

The C-BRATS do get a reduced rate at the Friday Harbor dock for the duration, an each boat is responsible to pay their own moorage fees but you do not need to reserve ahead of time. The C-BRATS usually fill the H and most of G dock. AND a good time is had by all :lol:

Just want to pass on some information for those planning on or considering the Friday Harbor C-Brat Get Together or FH CBGT. The schedule dates Greg set up for the FH CBGT are May 17 (Friday), 18th (Sat) and 19th Sunday. ( * Note if you are going to be there on Thursday night.) Because the C-BRATS come in with so many vessels we are given a discount rate for dock moorage. That rate is $.85 a foot. That is about $5.50 per night, discount for a CD-22.

*Now, if we have 10 or more boats there on Thursday night, (May 16), that discount rate will apply for Thursday night as well. (That word came from Mike ath the Port office.) I like that because I usually plan on crossing Juan de Fuca a day ahead just to be sure I can get there in time. Really nice of the folks at Friday Harbor to treat us so well.

Port of Friday Harbor (marina) phone is 360-378-2688. We do not need to call ahead to reserve dock space, or even call in on VHF 66 on arrival. Just arrive at “H” or “G” dock, tie up and settle in then deal with the paper work.

Hope this helps in the decision to come to the 2019 FHCBGT. Hope to see you there.
