August 2 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.
