Hello M boaters and those attending the Annapolis show on friday. So far we have Dennis Chapman, John Edwards, Gerry and Debi Sutton, Nick Honodel, Al Williams, Tod Mills and myself. Doug Kelch and Bill Riker have other plans so we wont be seeing them this time. I m going by memory so I hope I didnt leave any one out. Still waiting to here from Abby and Greg. How about meeting at the Catalina display about 2:00 pm, that will give each one some free time in the am to do and see things that interest them, and also allow for the late arrivals. Stan and Carol any chance you can make it up on friday? In the past we have had dinner at the Chart House, so if any one would like to do that answer back on the board and I will make reservations for between 6:30 and 7:00. Look forward to seeing everyone, enjoying the show and the dinner. Gary

Tod, One time when I was sailing the Neuse river (VERY shallow, steep chop)a lot of water squirted through the hole for the swing keel pennant. As Miss T pounded, a small quirt of water was forced up and out of that hole. Enough water got into the boat that the bilge filled up and the floor liner was awash. I now have a sponge ball that I fit into that hole. I use it even if the swing keel is up, because I've seen a little water squirt up thru that hole with the keel in that position. John

2003 Adventures

Tod Mills wrote: "I'd recommend the area for a Montgomery Rendezvous, there's good sailing to be had there. I launched at Rockland ($5 in, $5 out, *perfect ramp* at any stage of tide, free parking). It's quite possible to have a good sail in the relatively protected waters of Penobscot Bay with quite a few good spots to anchor". It's not to early to seriously thing about next years opportunities. The Chesapeake Bay Rendevouz has really turned into the Chesapeake Bay serious cruise. Some of us have talked about a Cruise in Maine or a Cruise to the Dry Tortugas or the Florida Keys if the the weather doesn't quite cooperate for the the Dry Tortugas. Would any of you be interested in doing a week in the Florida Keys (possibly the Dry Tortugas) in April 2003 or the central coast of Maine in August or September? If I can get enough interest I would try to coordinate the effort. I just returned from 5 wonderful days between the Kent Narrows and St. Michaels on the Chesapeake. I was in company with John Edwards who is lucky enough to still be on the bay. Cruising in company definitely increases the pleasure.

Tod, I enjoyed reading of your Maine adventures, it sounds like you had a good time. I'm planning to take Miss T to Annapolis while the sail boat show is on. Let me know when and where you will be and we'll meet up. I'm looking forward to hearing first hand of your Main trip. John
