Wanted to get a thread going on this so we have time to plan. We will be at the show Saturday and possibly Sunday, so Saturday works for us.

What works for everyone else? Any suggestions on where to meet?

Saturday does sound like the better day weather wise.

We'll be at the show Friday, but maybe we'll sail down Saturday for the meet up if that is what everyone decides.

Jeff, is there room to anchor in Mill Creek and dingy over?
There usually is room to anchor near my house. I live off of Martin's Cove which is off of Mill Creek (not far from Cantlers). There should be room to raft up in the cove for those who are so inclined. I don't have a dinghy dock per se, but I do have a dock and people are welcome to tie up at my dock. If you plan to do come by dinghy, please let me know and I can rig a ladder to make boarding easier.

As for everyone else, just let me know what you would like to do. I'm good either way.

At the show I will be wearing a show badge around my neck with this on one side:



My business card will be on the other side. In case if it flips over it will look like this:



I will also likely be wearing an orange hat with my Compass Marine logo...

This is what the logo looks like on a shirt or hat:


If you see me, stop me and say hi...
Are you bringing any white butyl with you?

Feel free to stop by the Maryland Yacht Club Booth on Saturday between 10 and 2 PM as I volunteered to man it for our club during those hours. After that my wife and I will be wandering around looking at equipment.

So maybe we should let Jeff off the hook for Saturday then? I would go with MaineSail's protocol and meet at the Boat US booth 15 minutes before closing. I'll put an SN sticker on and be there Saturday at...looking at schedule... 6:15 it looks like.

FYI, we are planning to go to the show on Sunday. We have commitments at home that prevent us from going any other day. Regardless of what you end up doing at Jeff's house (sounds to me like it could be a flash mob :laugher ), I'd be open to linking up with people on Sunday.

For Sunday, I'd suggest meeting at the BoatUS booth around 11:30 and heading over to the Fleet Reserve Club (next to the Marriott) for lunch as a group.

Is anyone in for this?

Sorry, something came up and we are not going to make it to the show today. Please don't look for me.

It's open to the public during the boat show. And their roast beef sandwiches are gooooood!

Okay folks. Since no one seems to want to make a definite decision on this, based on the couple PM's that I recieved, I will grab the bull by the tail and look the matter squarely in the eye.

My home will be available to meet at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday. There is room in my driveway to park, and I'll put a ladder on the dock for those coming by dinghy. Depending the weather anyone who wants to can stand on my lawn or crowd into my house. Strictly BYOB (bring your own booze), BYOF(bring your own food), and BYOS (bring your own self). I'll supply trash cans.

For those coming by boat, I live on Martin's Cove, off of Mill Creek, off of Whitehall Bay, and there is usually plenty of room to anchor within a few hundred feet of my dock. I would ask that you tie up on the south side of the dock. The coordinates for that slip would be N 39 00' 08.17" W 76 27' 37.59".

If you are coming by car, please PM me, and I'll send you an address and directions.

While this is not formal invitation (my engraver has been furloughed due to the shut down) and so an RSVP is not manditory, it would be helpful to know if folks planned to come by car or boat so I can at least rig a ladder at the dock and/or turn the porch lights on......

Cheers,
Jeff

Even though I've known that I can't make it on Saturday (I have a wedding reception to go to), it's a really generous offer that you're making to all of us here. I hope it goes well!

Is anyone going on Sunday?

At this point it looks like we will have perhaps 10-15 people at my house tonight. If anyone else wants to attend, please send me a Private Message and I send you the address and directions.

Hey all, sorry I am missing the party after all. A disaster was avoided though...my dumb ass almost forgot today is the admirals birthday. As you may guess, time with the kids and house projects were on the menu for today, and anything else she wished to do :)

Good seeing Maine Sail Friday, sorry to miss the rest...

Till next time

Stopped by the MYC booth and just missed Dave. Finally found the NERopes booth and had missed Trevor. Oh well.

Got out w/o spending a lot of $$$ like last year. Did come up w/ some good ideas though.
Sorry to have missed you dave...my friend Winfred and his wife were manning the booth.
