Also....big dinner night is Saturday??? Is that correct?

Well that's a relief, was really going to miss Wendy this year. Will be good to see you also.

[Bigsfish]

Ted is correct once again but I’m not as sure about the last part.
Sat is Watfa’s dinner, prizes, free booze, ect on Gotcha, of course you’ll have to manage your way through the other parties on the previous days.

Will be sure to have the Flor de Cana flowing!

 

[Baker]

WoooHoooo!!!! Looking forward to it!!

 

[FlyWright]

Great to hear, Baker and Wendy! It wouldn't have been the same without you!

 

[Sailor of Fortune]

Yeah Baker and Wendy!

 

[DCDC]

We just left our marina and are headed east, but I don’t think we’ll make it to Ft. Pierce in time. 650nm+slow boat+cold fronts+a few required stops=too late. Maybe next year.

We very much enjoyed last year’s festivities - all the cruisers, boats, eating and drinking. Best wishes to all for another fun and safe TF gathering.

Irv, is that Friday or Saturday night on Gotcha?

 

[JohnS]

John and Priscilla Sage will be there again, God willing and the Creeks don't rise.
We should be docking there Wednesday afternoon, and leaving Monday morning.
Bringing Flor de Cana, and probably some lesser booze.

Bring her!...life experience?

 

[Bigsfish]

RT. I agree, bring her and introducer her to the other side of the moon. I have a granddaughter and I understand if family commitment keeps you away but if it does no excuses for next year. Deal?

Let us know when your sure. Congrats.

 

[menzies]

A two week old?

You guys are delusional!

Mast is installed; we will be there. Thanks for including us!

What can we bring? Appetizers? Wine? More rum for Baker?

Take a bottle of Jamesons.

It's time they were all educated!

 

[Bigsfish]

Menzies. Delusional??? Never said we would take care of the baby girl but we could find a place for her to sleep or play.

And there will be other booze other than rum.

OK, true story here.

My sister (one up from me) had the first grandchild. She called my mother and was distraught because the baby wouldn't sleep.

My mother told her to give her a small teaspoon of whiskey.

Sister called her back to say the baby kept spitting the whiskey out.

"How are you giving it to her"

"In the teaspoon."

"No you idiot, mix it into her milk bottle!"

 

[Bigsfish]

Great idea, I may try that for me to keep my whiskey down.

 

[Bigsfish]

Menzies picked up four bottles of Jamesons today in case you wander by.

Jack I know Steve drinks PBR, your choice was Bud (regulation or lite)? IIRC

 

[Mako]

So I’ve recently moved 8,000 miles closer to this event and am now only one hour away. Would like to come down. Would Friday or Saturday be better, and what time for any particular happening?

 

[Sailor of Fortune]

Irv, no need to stock for both those crazy kids... Bud , PBR or grape Nehi will be brought aboard....

 

[Bigsfish]

Jack. Bud it is then. No crap of you won’t get fed.

Mako Breako There will be a party on one of the boats both nights. Most would say the best food will be Saturday cooked by Watfa. Drinks sat will probably start around 1730 +/- Food served when the chef decides.

Let me know if you want a slot for Saturday night,

 

[O C Diver]

Getting ready to make the adult beverage run. For those whose tastes are more discerning and would prefer something that wasn't final filtered through a Clydesdale, I'm looking for requests of IPAs, Stouts, Porters and other Craft Barley Pops. Also looking for preferences on Hard Cider. Will also have an ample supply of bottled spring water.

An event that I would love to attend and will make it someday and take you up on that offer. I formally make that commitment now.

This year we will be in South America (actually in Rio for Carnival on the days of the meet). Then on to the Amazon, Machu Picchu and Galapagos.

Gotta keep moving before the body breaks down! (recently more aware of that).

 

[Bigsfish]

Ted we are stopping by Funky Budah Brewery this weekend to find some of your IDP (whatever that is) to please you palate.

Jack loaded on 36 Budweiser but Steve is on his own if he wants PBR.

 

[Bigsfish]

This morning I received a call from the marina. Starting Feb 10 they will not have any fuel until the construction is finished. Plan accordingly.

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Mr. B. I really don't see that being a problem given the stock of alcohol fuel that seems to be amassing. Is anyone bringing the Aspirin or does FPPD issue that?

 

[O C Diver]

Yes, and there pump out system is still down, so plan accordingly.
