Hi Tom & Leslie,
Yup, it was fun meeting all you C-Brats after "talking" to ya on the site. I had a great time. Hope your trip home wasn't too bumpy. There are a couple of C-Dories coming from Down East for the Rideau, so think about coming with us.
Sounds like you guys are going to have a great cruise up to Bangor, then other areas in Penobscot Bay. Wish I was doing it with ya, but my body won't let me play for a while.
After going up to Augusta, then cruising to Boston, I got this bug about cruising to as many State Capitols as possible. We did a C-Brat gathering in Providence, RI but didn't cruise there. We almost got to Hartford in June. I've cruised in Concord, NH by Kayak, does that count? And we've done Annapolis, MD. I haven't checked atlases to see how many capitols can be reached by C-Dory, but I'll bet it is surprising.
The Castine Lunch reminded me of the C-Dory Erie Canal cruise lunches, with 9 of us at the table laughing and enjoying our C-Dory lives.
