I know flax pond area and am fine with that if weather permits. The thing I liked about the pit is that it's sheltered as apposed to flax if you get a North or East or NE wind. I got the PJ harbormaster's phone # today. I want to call him to ask what is permitted there in case we decide the pit is the place. If you decide on flax you could use the pit as an alternative due to wind direction. It looks like we might get 6 boats from what I'm seeing on this thread. We just have to get a few of us the first year and get the thing started. What the heck, we'll probably all be out there somewhere anyway. If nothing else some of us will meet and we'll go from there. The 15th is fine with me, like I said, I'm flexible, we're DINKS (dual income, no kids)

[Totally Hooked]

[Bryan 2530]

I will be staying in the pit, 15-16......... so I'll be there.

I will have a few non Parker boats with me, but we can start our own raft if more Parkers show up.

 

[LIsound]

com'on people. what fun is a parker boat if you can't share it with friends.

If it will help, we'll post photos of our Rendezvous (coming up this Sat).
That might help.

I make a conscious effort not to do too much 'organizing'. I set the date, time, and place and leave it to the members to join in. Some bring their families, some don't. We raft-up and some folks grill, some swim, some fish... but we all BS and check out each others boats.

Some of our folks spend the morning fishing before meeting us, some don't. Some of the non-locals that trailer or drive in and catch rides with other members like to tour Annapolis Harbor where they get to see some interesting boats.

Last year (I think it was), we got to see "Blue Guitar" anchored in the harbor.
How often to you get to see Eric Claptons boat close up?

Point is, we get together for a low pressure Rendezvous, and the rest works out on its own. I don't try to guide the ship... I just give it a push and a place to dock. :wink:
I'd have to go back into my log to count the number of boats we have assembled each year, but the way I see it... if it is 5 or 15, we'll still have a good day. 8)

Don't stress... have fun.

Yeah, what he said.

Actually... that is something that we do that might work out for you.

Some folks can't make the trip if they live a distance away. What we have done is opened up an invitation by some members to take other members to the Rendezvous from a land base or launch point.

It has actually worked out well, and some folks who otherwise might not be able to participate make new friends by teaming up for a ride.

It's another option to get more folks involved. :wink:

I'm still planning on showing up. There's time to iron out the details. Keep it simple and however many or few show up, it's a starting point for next year and possibly an annual event. Bring your cameras to post a few pics of the first year. It's still going to be fluke season, too. Mike
