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
it's always a popular anchorage, it's only 14 miles south of downtown miami. clearest water on this side of the stream...
it started as a regatta, a big one, although now the power boats outnumber the sailboats and they are now anchoring further north. i don't know what the big draw is... really... just a reason to hang out with friends i guess. water gun fights are the popular thing... cruising with the dinghy and fighting with others...
a little childish... but fun.Pascal

Re: Eliott Key get together Columbus Day Regatta
Hey guys (and girls) I think the cell phone route would be best for contact info for getting together. Hey, I'm not shy, my number is 865/617-6212.
I would really like to meet as many of you as I can down there just to prove I'm not some three headed monster who has his mind set on changing your way of life!
As always, feel free to tell me to stay the hell away if that's how you feel!1974 58TC "Freebird", 1965 41DC "Nancy Cay", For Sale - Click HERE for info - sosectn@aol.com
