10/23-10/25 - 4th Annual Gulf Coast Gathering

We plan on being there for another great gathering, would like to stay at Waterstreet hotel when Marc blocks some rooms. I hope we will not be the only 16 cruiser this year, though we can still keep up (sometimes pass up!) you 22's. Any of you 16's out there sign up for this so we can make a showing!

Bill and Brenda , it wont be the same if you dont make it , so you just simply have to!Do your best and we will hope you make it . When I think of Arkansas, I think of you two first, then the Clintons , then Walmart and just after that I run out of thoughts ..........

May not be able to make this one... but, will run thru early for a warm up... Can't wait to get some great oysters in front of us. So far, we have passed on the $2.50 each ones up here..... but, the price is going down as we travel south. Bill and Brenda: Great to see you during your visit. Marc...will keep ya posted on our travels... doing well so far but still heading south...

Does John have a big boat in his slip now or what has he done?

Plans changed on the Trawler Trip. We made great time down the ICW heading south...and the wonderful COE has plugged the ditch so to speak. Had the Moorehaven Lock work scheduled...changed completion date to 2 Sep,...OK...we were not going to be there by then.... changed it to 9Sep....well...OK... should be in the area by then and were....then it happened... I guess after they got into it...they changed the re-open date this time to 28Sep... killing all our down days for crew rest and other things that happen on the water. ...So... Flew back into Nashville about 10 days ago... Got my land legs back...and... Looking into my crystal travel ball to see what all is going on where and when.

Got a trip I need to make to NW...got SENSEI up there...wanting to come down here a bit after tatters are done (humm great for country boil)... Bill/Brenda and Terry (Falcon & Last Dance) are playing in the NY waters, have not pulled C-Pearl's chain yet... Rick and Donna say too busy... May Fly to NY to help talk Terry to go ahead and move his RV and boat south for the winter... store it @ Momma Byrds for the winter months..or take it on down to FL when he is ready.... Then...we have not seen how many folks can go thru C-Eagle's hot tub in his 22 either...and we know the blender works well in a 22 from last year.... who knows... a lot to think about for such a simple minded man...

Working thru some of these things....

Byrdman... with one more ball game weekend lined up...in Knoxville TN...

Hi Marc,
We are planning on being there and would like to tie up at John's. We are going to leave from Panama City and do some cruising Wednesday heading towards Apalachicola. It should be some great cruising weather.

Is there anything you would like for us to bring with us?

Thanks and look forward to seeing everyone.

Linda and Alan
 
Bring your favorite beverages ,and lunch stuff , we will have the usual 4 meals including Fri and Sat dinners and Sat and Sun B Fast . Looking forward to a fun event .

Clear as mud... .right

Well, flying out to Seattle/Oak Harbor next week to complete...or at least make a little progress on a project... Roger "SENSEI" has a tatter report...that the tatters are still in the field rather than out and in storage...so, may end up on a tatter truck a bit too...

Then, if tatters are up... we may just fly down for the C-Brats gig on the Gulf Coast... then fly back to Seattle/Stanwood.... and then I drive back cross country and get home. Both the tatters and boat project are driving our plans... but we both want to make the c-brat gig...

Time will tell... and I have not heard from several other C-Brats in the area....but, I have been on the road.

Our friends at the Apalachicola River Keeper will be screening the film
Apalachicola River, An American Treasure for our enjoyment Sat night at the gathering . They are dedicated folks that Wefings help out whenever possible and appreciate their efforts to keep the river and bay alive and thriving . Thanks Don and Andy, , looking forward to it !
