Mark if you go how many would be with you? Also we can put your boat in the mast up during the show. Or dont bring the boat just hang with us.

Ill bring the whaler so I can shuttle people to the temp slip or the other way around what ever any one wants to do. I will try to get everyone together no matter what we decide to do. We can sort of make this a
duel celebration, 4th July and a party for Rick and Molly.

Pat same for you if you come and need to be shuttled around let me know.

[aya16]

Keeping in mind of what a mad house the ramp is on the 4th (maybe not this year because its wed.) and that some folks have to drive and tow the mac to do this and the fact that I will be down there Tues on. I would like to make this as simple as possible for everyone and want a good time be had by all that come soooooooo. Heres the deal. less hassle for me, dont have to work the next day, and I would like this to be nice.

If I can get a fairly accurate count, kids dogs adults. how many outside the mast up boats. Ill set some time for eating and watching the fireworks.
Now I wouldnt want to take over everyone's fun without making it worth
it for you guys so. Im going to feed everyone and cook. burgers and dogs
will be served inside the mast up from 4:00 pm till 6:pm That should give anyone that wants to sail a chance to go out and be back before the ramp
gets crowded.

If rick and molly dont mind Ill put my boat in the temp slip near them and maybe we can get a couple more boats in there early. (we can double up
although it still costs for each boat) At 6pm I will launch the whaler and shuttle all from the BBQ that want to over to the moored boats for cocktails, desert and viewing the fire works we can pile on what ever boats we have in the slips to watch the show. After I will shuttle anyone back that wants to go back to the ramp.

This gives all a chance to meet everyone and kick back at a good vantage point for the show. And you folks dont have to worry about A BBQ or bringing much food. Now I deep-ed six the crummy BBQ I used one time
when we got together and will be bringing a large patio roll away BBQ
so If anyone wants other then burgers or dogs just bring it over with plenty of time to cook what ever it is and we will cook it up.

Ill supply:
BBQ
Hamburger
veggie burgers (if anyone wants them)
hot dogs
buns
all the junk you put on them
potato salad
pork and beans
chips and dip (green onion)
Jack Daniels
Paper plates and plastic cups forks and spoons
3 coolers full of ice to put your drinks in.
and the shuttle boat and an American flag

If anyone wants anything else just bring it.

If theres 5 or 500 it doesnt matter just let me know whos coming.

Mike I have never been to MDR over the 4th. What do you think the chances are of getting a temp slip on Monday or would I have to get one over the weekend. I'll give a total but it looks like 4 people 2 dogs.

Im going to try at 5am the monday before the 4th. If I get one and you cant then we can share no problem. Ill call jetta that sunday night and see
whats available.

Mike - We're coming - without our boat to avoid the insanity. This way, I'll actually be able to socialize instead of watching Diane party while I'm doing "Rope-a Dope" with the rigging, etc.

We'll bring just 3 people (and no dogs), and we'll bring our own food /drink (picky kid), but thanks for your VERY generous offer. Oh, and I'll bring my friend Johnnie Walker too.

Mark the BBQ IS HUGE, my 20 year old back yard BBQ went soar.
so I broke down and dug into the mac bucks and bought (cooking station) for the back yard last week. I will be bringing it to the boat. So you can cook right next to me on it. 3 burner plus side burner for pans. Glad your coming.

Special food??? whats wrong you dont like that road kill I cooked up for ya 2 years ago.

Ill email you about some plans.

Rumor has it that he's bringing the prototype self-furling mainsail. Don't worry, it'll probably be too $$$$$!
