It looks like I'm going to be able to make it to the FH CBGT. My wife is at a conference and gets home Saturday morning - I'm thinking she can fly into FH and then we go home together on Sunday.

One question: I would have our 60lb Samoyed with us so I'd like to be next to the dock - am I responsible for getting my own slip for the weekend? Other than the comment about H dock the logistics don't seem obvious.
 
The harbor pretty much saves "H" dock for us and any overflow goes directly across. Once you tie up simply walk up to the office and tell them you're checking in as a C-Brat and what slip you've taken. Give them your payment and they give you your receipt that goes in the window of the boat and voila!
 
It getting to be time to bring things up to date for Friday Harbor. I am attempting close contact with the weather gods, no answer yet but they have been good to us in the past so expect more good weather. We have 30 boats signed up thus far and I know of one or two planning to come that have not signed up so it should be a good sized gathering this year as well. Port of Friday Harbor monitors channel 66A, call on that channel and identify yourself as being with the C-dory group. As you enter the harbor area you will see two breakwaters; the Customs station and large vessel tie ups are on the left. There is a kiosk at the end of the breakwater to the right with the entry to the docks between the breakwaters. Friday Harbor gives the C-Brats all of "H" dock. It is to the right as you enter, look for the C-Brats banner. There are no specific slip assignments, just choose any open slip on "H" dock. All the slips are about 30' and have 30A power (power is a separate charge). Friday Harbor is giving us a good deal on the moorage, only 65 cents a foot, be sure to identify yourself as part of the C-dory group to get that rate.

The schedule is the same as in the past: boats start arriving noonish on Friday May 13. C-Cakes and crew will be there by around 10AM and there is usually a boat or two that comes in on Thursday so help should be available for docking. Dinner is at 5:30 Friday evening at Downriggers restaurant. Saturday is open for whatever you want, gossip, fish, shrimp, see the sights. The Friday Harbor West Marine has coffee and donuts for us in the morning. If you tell them you are with the C-Dory group they will give a 10% discount. The potluck will be Saturday afternoon on the breakwater. It is a true pot-luck so just bring whatever food strikes your fancy. Don't forget to bring something to sit on and if you like, a small table. The brats are renting some 6ft tables this year so there should be more room to put things. Be sure to bring something for the swap meet/giveaway . I'm not sure if we will do trivia as in the past or if we will just put boat names in the hat and draw for prizes. NOTE: We have two autographed copies of "Cat On A Leash" to be be given away, its by our own Jim of Wild Blue . Don't forget to bring your nametags, if you do not have them contact Roger Clark on Dreamer, to have some made. We go out to breakfast on Sunday morning, not necessarily all together, there are several good breakfast places, and most boats are gone by about noon on Sunday. Don't forget to bring a Mylar balloon for Harv's great balloon display. For those coming by ferry or those just wanting to see some C-Dorys, Welcome! The marina is to the right as you leave the ferry dock and "H" dock is on the left side of the marina. There are large dock signs at the top of the pilings.

See you there.
 
Seaweed and crew are hoping to make it. We have to be a maybe until the last minute (early the week of the event we will know for sure) due to other unsolidified travel plans. We will likely launch from Anacortes Friday early afternoon. Or if weather is bad or other travel is crazy, we may not have time to prep the boat (first time out for the spring), and we may just come by ferry for the weekend to socialize.

We enjoyed the boat show gathering, and look forward to our first Friday Harbor gathering.

I just signed up - but I'm probably going to leave Saturday mid-day to get home to my wife (I couldn't talk her into getting onto a plane and coming up - I DO have "permission" to stay until Sunday but...).
 
Unfortunately Caryn and I won't be able to make it. My niece is having her 1st Communion and my dad is coming up from California to attend.

Have a great time and maybe we'll see y'all in Bellingham.

ATTENTION THIS YEARS CRUISERS!!!!!!!!!

One of the side benefits of working for a Yacht Charter Company ie. Anacortes Yacht Charters, is that every year we replace the last years edition (2010) of Waggoner Cruising Guide on all the charter boats. So far I have accumulated 10 copies of the 2010 guide. I will have them at the Friday Harbor CBGT for those that didn't get the 2009 last year.

AND DON'T FORGET TO HAVE YOUR USGC AUX VESSEL SAFETY CHECK DONE. Barry and I will be doing them during the week-end.
 
Better than that HERE is the website for Vessel Safety Checks. There is a virtual safety check you can do and other info about what is most often neglected.

ALSO... rather than me trying to keep track of who wants a cruise book. YOu keep track of me. I will be there and have about a dozen of them.
