Okay here ya go Bob.
Let the discussion begin!
My Summer is filling up fast. I'm thinking July.
So, the game's afoot!! Yes, let the discussion begin and yes, July is fine! The only weekend in July that I could not make it is the 15th. Blackburn Challenge rowing race around Cape Ann, MA.
Chime in mates and let's make this happen!

Looking at the 8th or the 22nd then.

Either is good for me. What say ye other Compac-o-nauts? I thought the Captain's Inn worked out fine for the Mid Winter Gathering so we could plan there for the Bash dinner.
Thoughts?
Bob23
We also need to find a new place to berth our boats. I believe the Captain's Inn has slips. Any thoughts Bob?
Yer readin' my mind and you know that's not easy. I was going to stop over there on the weekend to scope out the situation. In the past we did get slips there.
So did ya check out the mooring sitch?

I make a motion for July 22nd, as the 8th seems to close after the 4th.
All in favor, say aye. All against, nay. The ayes have it, motion carried.
You know, I always have an excuse for not showing up at these events. This time I'm scheduled for knee replacement surgery on 05/25. Not sure if I will be rehabbed by then.
Excuses, excuses. Just be there! A little PBR on the knee will work wonders!
Got a call from my surgeon's scheduler. Got the surgery moved up to April 19th. ~5 weeks sooner! Let's see, that's 10 weeks before the BBB. Rehab anyone?
Good news Tim! We're expecting you!
Tim, you'll be walking on it when you leave the surgery center and in P.T. within 48 hours. I lost the walker by day 3 and was riding my bike to P.T. by the 2nd week. Although I had to raise the seat 2" to compensate for the lack of flexation.
Good luck and I hope the final results are better than mine.
Carl, I hope you find your walker!! ;D
Never found it, so Joanie hired a walker for me. Man those other customers stop at every mailbox post and hydrant. We hardly put any miles on at all!
I'm here to report that no work has yet begun on the CP16. :-\
Did I see July 22nd, that works for Terripan! The most nothernly of the BBB boats in Barnegat Bay?
Yes, it appears the July 22nd is the date! More details will be forthcoming, I'm sure.
Bob23
Bob,
Details really not necessary, sail south, look for best looking boats on the bay, and the most haggard and weather beaten crews, and we are there?
Yeah that's about right Brian. So to recap, the famous Barnegat Bay Bash will be held on July 22nd in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty three. Since the boat slips at the Captain's Inn and Southwinds Marina have become unavailable, I'll see if the slip next to me at Long Key Marina is available for the Bash.
Looks like it's only 2 boats this year, but still a fun time could be had, weather permitting of course.
Stay tuned for more breaking news!
Bob23
I'll crew with you Bob.
What about dinner Friday night?
That's be fine! I'd be honored to have The Founder of the Bash aboard!
Dinner Friday night will happen, not sure where but it's a small group this year so it shouldn't be very hard to organize.
Stay tuned for more...
Bob23
See you all at dinner tonight!

Bash 2023 update! Aa you can see, a grand time was had at the Friday night "Meet and greet, eat, drink and be merry" dinner on Friday. Although attendance was lower than in some bashes, it was also higher than others as well. One year there was only one in attendance- me, and it was boring as boring could be!
Kev, the originator of this epic event joined me for a voyage on the mighty Koinonia where we beat every sailboat that we raced! Not too shabby for a 38 year old 23! Kev brought the subs, I supplied the PBR and a grand time was had by all. After we put the yacht away, we enjoyed one of the last beers at the famous Golden Rock cafe!
All in all, a fabulous day! Stay tuned for a possible Bash #2!
