Alan Stewart Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 We finally have some details for the 2016 Messabout and we've got a shiny new sign up system in place. We are having everyone pre-pay for the grand buffet dinner on Friday so head over to the website for details. Just go to the 2016 Messabout webpage and all will be explained. Email any issues to Alan at bandbkitboats @ gmail.com See you there!!! 1 Quote
Oyster Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 I don't see a date anywhere on the sign up page. Quote
Alan Stewart Posted October 8, 2016 Author Posted October 8, 2016 OOps. Thanks. Friday October 21st through 23rd. Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 I signed up but didn't pay. I'll pay for Friday when i get there. I didn't proceed to the next step to pay, so I'm not sure that my sign up "took". Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 *Uh-oh, y'all!!!! Next Saturday's weather forecast from the weather channel calls for 80% chance of thunder boomers! Quote
Alan Stewart Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 That's weird. Looks clear here. https://www.wunderground.com/us/nc/bayboro Quote
Steve W Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Sadly I'm not going to make it. I had great intentions and after seeing the B & B crew at the MASCF I was even more determined to be there. Unfortunately my Sea Pearl WildCat got rear ended on the way home in Harrisburg, PA, 4 hours from home. A young driver texting for sure. Not much damage to the boat, but the trailer got destroyed. I had to leave her behind. I finally get her home yesterday. My wife is pretty patient, but..... Anyway, take a lot of pictures and post them here. Next year with a finished boat! Quote
Jknight611 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Have to break out my winter clothes!! Steve, sorry about the Sea Pearl, but on the bright side, one less distraction to finishing your CS20.3! See you NEXT year! Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Oooooh, Summer Breeze is gettin' so excited!!! I've loaded her up, finished her rubrail. Finally. It's only taken 3 months to get that done. Been a mess around the Ludwig's this Summer. Long story. We'll see y'all sometime Friday afternoon. Quote
Pete McCrary Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Sorry, Steve, about the traffic mishap -- but glad you and the boat are ok. I won't be at the mess-about either. However, Chessie is being fitted to her trailer tomorrow and construction restarted. The trailer's tongue now has a hinge and will fit in the garage with Chessie on board. Hope to bring her to the B & B shop in December for a rigging checkout. I'm planning on having her at next year's MA Small Craft Festival as well as the B & B mess-about. Quote
AmosSwogger Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Anyone else camping? Should I bring some firewood? Quote
Designer Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Amos, Several people have told me that they are camping. We are scratching up some fire wood. if you have some lying round you can bring it. Sally and Joe are the first arrivals. Quote
Alan Stewart Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Randy and Bobby reported that they spent a half hour in stop and go traffic getting through Kinston on highway 70 as it's down to 1 lane. We have some roads closed here in NC so make sure you check your route on your way here. Seems like there are ways around everywhere but may be some delays. http://tims.ncdot.gov/tims/default.aspx -Alan Quote
Chick Ludwig Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 How about taking 264 from Raleigh to Little Washington? Quote
gbt Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 264 to Washington is open, but you will need to through Chocowinity to Hwy 33 to get to Mesic don't try hwy 17 south I don't think is open yet. Quote
Designer Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 The DMV was announcing on the news this evening that at least one lane would be open near Kinston. Don made it through this afternoon. Quote
