eryka said:

Hey all, assume we want to do it again this year? Friday evening after the show closes at 7 PM, how about a get-together at Port Annapolis Marina. BYOB, and we'll chip in for pizza? The Wet Dog cafe, where we met last year, has been remodeled, there's even lights outside now!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

I wish I could be there to meet you, but I am stuck in Texas (for right now).

Hey, aren't you supposed to be chasing the ranbow of distant shores? Wasn't it 9/9/09?? How come you aren't typing this from Bermuda or the Bahamas? Let me guess, you realized you have to save up for a bigger grill?

By the way, Sailnet members, anyone that can spare a moment to meet Eryka would enjoy the meeting. SHe is a super member here.

Hi Brian, um, it's still hurricane season so I'm typing from the Chesapeake. But yes, I am now in the interesting position of being paid to NOT go to work. Retirement is nice! I had a teleconference on 9/8/09 that ended at about 3:30, at 4:00 we untied the dock lines!!! We're spending this month exploring the Chesapeake. We're traveling down the ICW in company with another boat our size who've done the trip before, leaving right after the boat show.

Wow, I didn't even have to pay him to say that!

Having met Eryka and Dan last year at our Sailnet meeting I can second what CD said and say she is great in person also..**:**)

Planning to be at the boat show Friday and hope to meet up with other sailnetters. (Hope its a little less wet than last time we met up). Are we gonna meet at Port Annapolis marina at 1900 or thereabouts. Or is it somewhere else

Off to the Boat Show

Count us in for the Fri. meet up. We'll be at the show shopping for a major refit of our soon to be new, to us, boat. Might even be able to catch up with Eryka, in the Bahamas, this winter.
Thanks Eryka for putting this together again this year, we had a great time last year meeting everyone. Even in the dark.

Bloodhunter, yes, check post #1, Port Annapolis Friday night. Mtn Mike, we're sooo excited to hear your story, Colorado mountains to tropical islands. Hey, Chef, will you be there as well?

We'll be there...

We'll drag Sailingdog with us...he'll be in town, crashing at our place.

We'll be there, and will have a couple additional sailing friends in tow.

See ya Friday (on the eeevil side of back creek)

Don't know if I can make it (as usual ). my YC is having it's annual race the 10th. sigh...
I need to check the show and see if my new cabo rico ketch is still on sale! it was only $800,000 2 years ago!

We are probably not going to make the meet up, but will be at the show Friday. Maybe I'll pin my Sailnet burgee to my back? Um.

We're driving up Friday from SC so we'll be getting there around 6:00-7:00 we are planning on stopping by to meet everyone.

This is our first boat show as we begin to initiate our plan. we will be checking out boats for our family of five. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and learning all I can.

See y'all Friday
Azi and Laura

See everyone on Friday. We're not going to the boat show until Saturday, so we'll be looking forward to a report from anyone who has gone on Friday

We wont make the meet up Friday as I dont get out of DC until 6. Are the water taxis running through the show. Where do they let off in Annapolis.

Not sure if we are coming by boat on Saturday and anchoring in a back Creek, Weems Creek or off the Academy or deriving

I'll be there, looking forward to it!

Also, I've got a room at Motel 6 in Linthicum Heights(about 1/2 hour drive) Fri & Sat I can share if any other solos are looking for cheap accomodations.

I'm assuming everyone will be at the pavillion?
