Chesapeake Bay Mid-Winter Gathering January 30

[Mas]

Now I am worried about the CBMWG, everyone has purposefully immersed themselves in cold water for the sake of fun! We have, in our paddling days, had to use our boats as ice breakers just to get downstream. Are we sure that we ought to be getting together to plan stuff with this kind of history!?

Maybe a new thread on reinforcing the bows of our boats?

It's ok, that happens this time of year! Just getting wrapped up in the holiday spirit.

we should stop now before the PUNishment gets worse.

[Bob23]

Not sure I like the way you present that!

Alright I have been informed that only Nuclear War will keep Bob23 from crashing the 1rst CBMWG. He is threatening to bring PBR! Guess we could at least supply some mesh bags, not sure about the tethers!

It begins...

[Bob23]

Yes, as Sherlock Holmes would put it: "The game's afoot"! Did you know that PBR is canned with lead? Even a nuclear war won't ruin the great taste!

Twill be a grand gathering! Who woulda thunk that getting a boat came with such benefits.

Is this a cult?

I haven't seen anyone wearing robes and chanting yet so I think that we are safe!!!!!!!!

Heave, I am heading down to the boat today to perform the "winter sleep ritual". If you want to head to Topping, Va. you can watch. I will be wearing a sailcloth tarp/robe  (until i figure out how to rig up a companionway cover), making barely intelligible utterances, and filling her belly with diesel oil. Might even break out some not so sacred beverage to consummate the act. Still so sure this is not a cult!!

I have heard that this is what the Compac gatherings look like up north:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBIdcUxdgo0

I have no idea when I am going to get down to the boat again.  I have so much work to do for the spring and I am dragging my feet because I am working insane hours lately.

Good luck with your winterization rituals.  Don't forget to sacrifice something to Neptune.  LOL 

I think that through all the boat work I have done with my boat that I have had enough cut myself enough and bled enough that the boat is a blood relative!

Nice video reference HeaveToo! I love the sense of humor in this group.

"YOU WILL ALL BOW BEFORE THE MIGHTY BOB23"!!!!!!
Does that answer your question?
