Planning is underway for a Ron-Day-Voo for all Com-Pac owners on Smith Mountain Lake in SW VA.
I'm thinking of naming it the "SML ComPacShun 13"
There are 6 Com-Pacs that I know of on or near SML, (Citroen/Dave and Tom Morgan are two that are members here) but I can tell you there are many many within a three hour drive.
The date is tentative, but will need to be before Memorial Day to avoid the tour-roids that descend on our Jewel of the Blue Ridge each summer.
More info later.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss
Hmmm...only 13 hours driving time! :-\
How hard could that be?
The weekends of the 11th and 18th both avoid Mother's Day and Memorial Day....
I am only 4 hours away, due South!
Tim - you may already be aware, but Keith at the Sailboat Company is looking at similar dates in 2013 for a Com-Pac "mini cruise" from New Bern NC to River Dunes, north of Oriental. I know that he's also looking to avoid Mother's Day. Just fyi. I'd love to do both events if the dates don't collide.

I would love to take part in this if the date works out. I ordered a Legacy and this would probably be our first chance to sail her after delivery. I can't think for a better place to get to know the boat than among other Com-Pac sailors! It's around a 5.5 hour drive for us but I think that will be doable.
Will most people spend the night on their boats? Or will there be a hotel with slip space available? This would be my first time at one of these events so I don't know how they generally work.
