We have confirmed dates from the port now.

May 20, 21, and 22 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

We added Friday to the reservation because so many boats show up early each year. Similar logistics to last year including lots of dock space, Friday restaurant dinner, and Saturday potluck of course. More details to follow soon.

Thanks so much Greg. We always look forward to this gathering. It will also be the admirals birthday on the 21st, we will have fun.

Martin.
 
Joyce and I plan to be there. Our 35th wedding anniversary is on Monday the 23rd, so we may go to a restaurant on the Saturday evening for our anniversary dinner. We definitely plan on catching some prawns on Sat and Sunday while we are there. We will also be there the week before to go shrimping so we'll have some good spots scouted out prior to the CBGT (probably the same spot we did well at last year).

Yes - I was 20 and she was 21. I don't always make good life choices but Joyce was certainly one of them.

Yes, good choice but I was thinking more like maybe 10-ish :wink:

Again, all the best, for good choices and good commitments.

I've heard this is the event to attend, so I would like to come if I can work my schedule out.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good boat launch near the southern end of Vancouver Island, maybe around Duncan or Chemanius? I need a dock because I launch by myself.
 
We will be happy to have you there of course but I can't offer any personal and recent experience on a south island launch point. I know some BC brats have launched at Sidney but I will let some of them provide details and current info. South Island launch sites anyone?

Greg
 
Hi Gypsy, good to see you there
We've launched at Sidney several times at the ramp next to the Anacortes Ferry
It's got a nice dock run by a fishing club, you can get a week pass or several day pass etc at All Bay marine or the other marine stores in Sidney, We'll launch at the Cowichan Bay ramp this year to try it. Blake on C Fury used it last year and it was good
I'm sure there are others but these 2 I know, Ladysmith as you know could also be used
See you there

We are new C Dory owners, thusly also newbies to C-Brats. We live in Portland OR, so we are unable to bring our boat up for the get together. However, we would like to meet some new friends, because we are planing on spending a few week this coming summer in the San Juans. Please count us in for Friday and Saturday affairs. We will drive up and stay in a near by motel. If anyone know of a place to stay please advise. We are looking forward to meeting like minded mariners.
 
It will be great to have another Oregon owner there! Once you are logged in on this site, go up to the event signups link and choose the Friday Harbor event to add yourself to the list so we can plan best.

Many of the boats at Friday Harbor come from out of state so if you have a trailer, I would encourage you to join us by boat. Last year we had 43 boats attending and there are some owners that will be trailering right past you on there way north. This group is very nice and if you would like to trailer up with some company on both road and water, just post it here and I would bet you will find company. There will be plenty of space and amenities are all there. If you are trailerless, or end up coming boatless, the Earthbox Inn has been well liked by a number of folks in the group.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have right here in this thread or send me a PM if you like.

Braun,

If you have the time available, (and I know, it sounds like a big hassle to trailer up all that way for 2 days), there are some options. Obviously, a local hotel is one. There are several places in FH to stay on land, but be advised, they will fill early. There are also launching options. If you travel up with other CBRATS, they will probably have launch sites already picked. Basically they will be either launching from the east side, and crossing Rosario, or from the south and crossing Juan de Fuca. Either way, you can find someone to buddy boat with if that is your choice.

Addressing the 2-3 day stay at Friday Harbor. There are usually quite a few C-Dorys that are in the area, either before, or/and after the designated C- Brat Get Together (CBGT), and lots of really great places to hang out for a few nights with a good chance of having another C-Dory at the dock or anchorage. There are usually a few mini groups found at places like Jones Is, Stuart Is, Sucia Is, or Blind Bay.

Lots of opportunity if you have the time. As Greg said, if you have questions, this is a good place to get good answers. It's typical to have 40 or so boats there, and they come from all over. All over like California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Texas, and other places, Canada included. Often times, Friday Harbor is the jump off for an Alaska trip of several months.

If you come up and stay in a land based accommodations, Friday Harbor is pretty small and easy to get around in, well, if you don't mind up the steps and down the hills. It's a pretty nice place to visit.

Hope to see you there,

Harvey
