I had mentioned having a Marinette get together this summer in another thread and some folks sounded interested. If I was to try and do some of the arranging, this would mean that we would primarily draw from the pool of water between louisville and Cincinnati.
Lets use this thread to generate interest, promote conversation and to decide if there is enough support to do such a thing. I will throw out some of my thoughts on location and such, just to get us started. I cannot dedicate the time to to being any sort of a master of cerimonies or anything like that but would be willing to keep this thread going, gather and create a database of those interested or not within the above mentioned area and make dockage arrangments when and if the time comes.
I think it is fairly obvious that Warsaw is generally the mid point and a pretty nice destination. It is a bummer to boat from there already cause I love to get out and run and it would be a lot more fun for me if I was the one traveling. If you are from the area mentioned your traveling distance should not be more than 70 miles from either direction if this ends up being being our location.
Additionally, if we met in Warsaw and at Pier 99 where I boat out of, we could utilize the club house for a get together and maybe have a picthin or have some local food brought in for an evening meal or lunch. It makes a good place to visit and talk boats.
I would for sure want to keep things simple with minimal planning this first year other than date, place and a little food event maybe.
As far as dates I would have no preference other than if we do end up in Warsaw we would need to coordinate with our local CCYC yacht club so as not to over lap one of thier monthly events. For that matter these events are a great time and we would all be quite welcome to join in and there is always a ton of food, a party with a live band or sometimes a DJ if that sounds better than a quieter time. ???
Lets have everyone's thoughts. !!!!!!!!!!!
