this may turn out into a mini HOF rendezvous...
Columbus Day Regatta at Eliott Key, october 7 / 8...
Plans would be to anchor out friday evening thru monday (or sunday afternoon for those who really have to work on monday). I don't like to be right in the midle of things at CDR, just on the edge and dinghy around is fine.
So far we have Angela, myself, Maynard and Mario if they make it down in time, Carl, who else ?

Re: Eliott Key get together Columbus Day Regatta
Hey Pascal, one boat or another, I'll be there even if I have to come down on one engine! And yes, I will have my water cannon!
I think it's always a good idea to warm up before the big game.Last edited by administrator; 09-18-2006 at 03:08 PM.

I think it would be cool if we could all come in at once like a parade of boats , but I know its logisticaly imposible. Randy you know you got an invite on my boat if yours is ka-put, And I'll have a nice long wooden plank screwed down for you in the event you drive us crazy Maybe we can all park close and fly some Hatt Flag ? forum flag or maybe Hatteras Club flag?? Or park in a big circle and put Randys boat it the middle load the water canons the fun will soon begin....

I like Pascal's idea of "living" on the fringe of the event and using the dinghy to go explore the real silliness. That's was our plan as well. Since we're not going to be in the middle of the mess, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting in and out.Ed G.

Re: Eliott Key get together Columbus Day Regatta
we can use 68 or 69 and exchange cel phone nrs before. Cel phone coverage was much better last time i went there, my internet connection was up instead of being spotty before.
last couple of years, most of the "action" was little further off shore, off the northern beach and U-dock. we anchored between the concentration of boats and shore, 5' at low tide. in light wind, it's ideal... if the wind picks from the west, I dont' like being too close to shore obviously...
we'll see how it go...
I have a 1510 burgee that i occasionly fly at the bow.
most boats leave sunday afternoon , few stay into monday. we will this year though... Columbus day observance is on the decline...

Re: Eliott Key get together Columbus Day Regatta
There are only two things to say about that picture, Pascal:
1) holy crapballs! that's a buttload of boats. looks like the sandbar off Holiday Isle in Islamorada on Memorial Day weekend;
2) looks like a PAR-TAY south Florida-style!
Though I've never taken in the Regatta, I've cruised through that area many times, and Pascal is right on about the water and setting being just beautiful. Good times are coming!-- Paul

Re: Eliott Key get together Columbus Day Regatta
OK..it's dark out here....but the Sanctuary Cam is showing Radar if you care to look.....
http://www.sanctuarycharteryacht.com/cdrcam.htm
The page doesn't update automatically yet, tomorrow is another day, but if you hit F5 occasionally, the image itself is updating every 30 seconds.
With any luck, there will be three CDR cams active on Sanctuary tomorrow.
So stay tuned, to the same Bat channel, at the same Bat Time.....Ed G.
