4th ANNUAL MID WINTER GATHERING...

Awesome flag!   
On a side note. Where did you purchase your bimini and dodger if I may ask?

[HeaveToo]

It came with the boat.

If I was buying it I would spend the extra coin and get it made out of sunbrella and on a stainless steel frame instead of aluminum frame and surelast.  I plan to replace my bimini skin and dodger skin sooner than later.  That being said I would like to do the frame on the dodger to stainless steel also because I want a different fit for the dodger.

Looks like a good time was had by all!  The Admiral and I, despite the fact that we are not East Coast Comp-o nauts had really planned to try to make it this year.  My son and his family live in Philly, a perfect excuse for a visit.  Unfortunately, the Admirals 88 YO mother in Biloxi was being transitioned from a nursing home back to her home with in home care and we needed to be there for the transition, which has not gone all that well.  We intended to bring a southern flair to the event, although judging from the pictures we could do nothing to average the hair color away from gray.

A fine looking (albeit not especially hirsute) motley crew!

yup a fine looking group of happy sailors! So sorry we could not make it. It's been snowing here all day. Winter has arrived and thoughts of sliding on snow have taken over the desire to sail, though not the desire to think about sailing!

Looking forward to the CBMWG and encourage folks to come even if not blessed with being on the best cruising grounds in the US!

Cheers.

A little video of our journey to the 4th Annual MWG!

Nice video, Kevin. Thanks for posting it. A note on the BBB (er, the Burlington Bristol Bridge): Many moons ago (circa 1964) I was introduced to the BBB... during a a blizzard! Back then most cars were even wider than today's. To add to the fun, the PA side had a wicked "S" curve. But, the BBB is child's play compared to the Washington Crossing Bridge. Now, that one's a real challenge. Totally scary for anything bigger than a (not so) Smart car!

Barb and I really enjoyed the gathering at the King George and it's always wonderful to get together with our sailing friends. We miss those that couldn't make it and look forward to sailing with our fellow ComPac-O-Nauts come the Spring.

  bob, after viewing the pictures the only thing i could think would be better is if they were all in "gilligan's island" garb in july. oh yeah, post the race results.

nice job, Kevin.  It was great to get to meet you guys..   we certainly enjoyed the afternoon - both the company and the meal!    There is a rails to trails bike route ( D and L national corridor ) from  White Haven ( just south of Wilkes Barre)  to Bristol..  one of the things on our list  is to take three or four days to  make that trip and camp along the way..   

I hope that the  2016 sailing season is full of fun and adventure for you..  looking forward to reading your  stories!   jt

Thanks....
We are taking part in the 5 Boro Bike Tour in May. You start in Staten Island and head over the Verrazano Bridge, I don't think Lesa is gonna make it.
