All East Coast Gathering Brats,
It sounds like we should have an informal meeting at the Gathering in June. I envision a month due to weather considerations, rum, fishing, rum, snorkeling, rum and others seagoing "duties".
Marcia would fly down for a week or two (she's still doing her active verterinarian thing) and then I would continue from there. If necessary, we could always break into numerous groups for those who would have to leave early, while others could continue.
My only time constraint is to be back by the end of April for a trip to Hawaii so I can "unwind". Actually, Marcia has an annual derm meeting that she attends each year and I tag along since the room and car are paid for by her practice.
Non-Eastcoasters,
Grease up those wheelbearing and head to FL! See who wants to go and check those schedules! We plan on being at the SBS and party next year and we could continue with plans at your side of the country.
Les,
Put-in-Bay and Kelly's Island? Where in the heck are you? Your profile doesn't say. Valkyrie is going into the water on the 24th and we'll be 13 miles from the Bay. Talk to me!
To Everyone,
Crossing the Stream is almost a mystical experience for me. The water is such a deep indigo blue, while at the same time being incredibly clear. Also, I have always felt a deep sense of adventure heading to the Bahamas, at least the two times on my own sailboat.
Now, just imagine the sight of 12 or so C-Dory's heading out together. We might need to hire an aerial photographer for that.
New C-Dory brochure cover anyone?
