Carve the date  in butter, and Beck and I will try to be there, now that we have power AND sail vessels......ie: transvesselites!!

[Bob23]

Great! Larry's in!!

[Eagleye]

That works for us. 

[Bob23]

Shaping up nicely! Nice to see that Pedro has come out of the boat house!

[K3v1n]

So far that date looks good!

[Mas]

Sounding like the date that works for most, it unfortunately for us, conflicts with a two day music event that we have already committed to. 

Oh well there is always next year......and hopefully will get to see some of you at CBMWG.

Point Pleasant NJ is almost my backyard, and I used to rent canoes and kayaks (Mohawk Canoe & Kayak Livery, Farmingdale NJ) well up Manasquan river back in the day...

Me and the missus Admiral are a definate, probable maybe. 

[Bob23]

Rick, sorry you and Susan can't make it but we're planning to be at the CBMWG....so see you then. Too bad, I was gonna buy you first round at our MWG!
Brian, sure hope you can make it. I forgot how close it is to you!
Now...about Marty Kern. C'mon man, you can make the drive!!

[Bob23]

Trying to reel this in now. Date: Saturday, January 20th in the year of our Lord 2018. Time: I dunno- 6pm work for everyone? What say ye? Place: Jack Bakers Wharfside in Point Pleasant as suggested by Commodore Kev! Now for the headcount:
The Admiral and I.
Commodore Kev and first mate Lesa
Pedro and Becky- hope you can be there.
Mr shiny anchor himself- Allen and Suzie
Brian and Ellen
Marty and Barbara- I still need to call him!
Larry and Lexi
I'm sure that I am forgetting someone so weigh in, will ya??

[Finbar Beagle]

I maybe in mental preparation for the NY Jet AFC Champion game on Jan 21, but I think I can squeeze it in. 

[MKBLK]

Okay, I've plugged the date into my phone/calendar/camera/computer... and on and on. Barbara and I will be there so long as the good Doctor doesn't schedule drilling into my other leg just before then. On that note, the first operation went quite well and I was walking the next day (with no pain!). But, can't drive for at least 10 days after the surgery. Sooo, I'm hoping to schedule for after the 20th!

Regards to all,

Marty K.

[Bob23]

Marty, this is good news! Just tell the doc you're tied up on the 20th! Looking forward to seeing you and Barbara!!

[Bob23]

Update: In my travels, I happened upon the Wharfside Restaurant in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ,...yea, the very one recommended by none other than our own Commodore Kevin! (More on this at the gathering) I think it's a great place for our event, on the Manasquan just inside the inlet, not very far, good food, great service. So as the self appointed Grand Poobah of the Mid Winter Gathering, I hereby proclaim that this is the place!
  There's a good chance a special guest will be joining us...more later. Stay well my friends!

Thanks for checking that out, Bob.

And what is with the teasers?  I hate when they do that on the news.  "And coming up next, wait and see who did what with whom at what location in the dark of the night........"

-Guess Who

[Bob23]

Guess you'll just have to see on 1/20/18! Can't wait! It is truly my privilege to organize this stellar event.
