I had posted a couple of threads on "anyone near camp lejeune" etc about a month ago. I got a few responses back. Thanks to imthebeachgirl, jarhead24, and nobody you know. Unfortunatly i was only able to meet up with STARMAN, BOSSLADY, Don? and family and friends of thiers a couple of weeks back. I was able to see first hand the amazing work being done on the BOSSLADY. It gave me some great insight as to what can and has been done. I also got to see the Up and Coming SWAN POINT MARINA in sneads ferry that STARMAN has recently purchased and is in the process of making it a really nice place! It was just great to be able to meet other people with the same thoughts, ideas, and BOATS. I think that northerners have a few things to learn, like southern hospitality. I was invited to a seafood cookout by STARMAN and BOSSLADY and had a fantastic time. I will post pics soon.
I hope to meet some more HATTS in the future and if any one is in the Rhode Island area I will be glad to meet/cookout/accomodate/lunch with you etc.
COPIED from "How hungry was the first person" thread.
I am not sure how hungry?? I can tell you I was not! But seeing how I had never had them raw or steamed, and i can say i probably will not again, I figured I would try them. The worst is right after i ate the raw one every one started telling me how sick you can get from them!! And I former nurse proceeded to tell me in brief medical terms about the bacteria and runs!!! Needless to say i had a slight gag reaction to the sick comments (not enough to send it back out) I also would definatly not have eaten it if they told me that first.... Then i tried one steamed, not much better even with hot sauce strait on it!
The good news is we all had a great time and some laughs (at me the northerner) It was quite comical and its to bad we didnt have a camera because im sure i made some faces. I did have some great fish, shrimp, steak and beer too. Put two beers down quick to kill the slimy salt taste of the raw one.
Most of all i expierianced some of that "Southern Hospitality" I asked here if anyone was in that area, got some responses and then got invited to the seafood bake or barbecue and got to meet some really nice members of the group. I met Paul, Chris, Don, and all the friends and familys. I had a great time, and i am seriously cosidering a return trip for the "Chicken pickin" or whatever its called that i was invited to. Hope to see you guys soon and many other members.
