Subject: Lake Charles Messabout Sat. August 2
Come on down!
The second Lake Charles Messabout will be on August
2, 2003 at the Lake Charles Yacht Club under the bridge on Lake Charles in
Louisiana. The club features a launch area, sandy beaches, piers, a
clubhouse with restrooms and showers, shady areas and good
companionship.
Activities: No scheduled activities but a
lunch of hot dogs and chili will be served at about noon and an informal
dinner will be served in the evening. The dinner is a Club
function and was scheduled on this date in conjunction with the Messabout.
Happy hour will start at about 6:00 pm with dinner following. Menu is
unknown but the Bonneys always have good food!
Who is invited? Anyone interested in
''Messing About in Boats''. (This includes Club
members.)
The grounds can be used for camping if you like and
some slips are available. I suggest that participants start arriving
about mid-morning but anytime is fine. If you plane to arrive early, or
Friday, let me know and I'll arrange to have the gate opened.
What is a messaabout? It is just a gathering
of people interested in small boats, either paddle, oar, power or
sail. It generally brings out home built boats but Potters, Montgomerys,
Ventures, etc. are all welcome. I'll probably have my PocketCat 18 and an
Uncle John 10 in the water.
