Oyster Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Friday looks to be a really nice day for anyone considering getting there earlier than sat. or can make it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Old Codger and I plan on getting there Friday afternoon some time. Looks like 9o% chance of rain, and about 1/2 inch total on Saturday. But great the other days. Weatherman must still be after me. Rained on our last two camping trips. Oh well, Codger and I will just snuggle up with a mess of that good ol' eastern Carolina barbecue and a jug of Real Southern Sweet Tea that Miss Carla and the gang always have for us. See y'all then! Good Lord willin' an' the crick don't rise. NO, wait, better not say that....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyster Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I don't know where you are getting your weather forecast for Friday. But two outlets says sunny and partially sunny and about 5 to 10 mph winds. Sat is cloudy and about 50 percent chance of rain with 15 mph winds. At least its going to be warm, in the 70s in the daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Is anybody camping (not on your boat, like in a tent)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Oyster. Mine comes from the weather channel for Little Washington. I like yours better! Steve. I believe that Don (Thrillsbe) will be tent camping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meester Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi y'all, I just signed up. I wasn't sure if I could make it but things look good now. Steve, I figure I'll stay on my boat, but I'll pack a tent along too. Are you looking for a shelter? Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hugh, You can come and camp whenever you want. Oyster, Damn! Why didn't suggest everyone should do some sanding earlier, we do not have anything ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 All right, since the availability of Hotels was limited due to flooding and my procrastination, and bringing enough supplies on the plane to properly camp is tough, I just rented a van and it's going to be like 1976 all over again! See you Friday. Somebody throw in a chair for me and I'll be forever grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roam Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I can bring a spare camping chair and my random orbital sander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmosSwogger Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Steve; let me know it there is anything else camping related you want me to throw in the truck for you. I plan on arriving Thursday afternoon (the rest of the family is coming down Sunday morning for the day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyster Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 If someone needs some additional camping gear or additional chairs for sitting around the farm, I can bring it to the dinner on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscott Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 What is the blue & white boat on the trailer on the bottom of the google album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frowley Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'm curious what the starboard foredeck bracket and pin are for on Carlita (always curious to hear what Graham's latest invention is). The material appears to be star-board. It looks like Graham's rebuilt his sprits? Also wondering if the wind vane plans or kit are still in the works, or maybe available? Thanks, so far, for posting the great pictures - they're really fun to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyster Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 A great group of folks gathered and a few words were spoken between filling their faces and bellies with fine food. There was probably 15 or more boats of assorted species there. By the way the food included sweet and unsweetened tea to wash down the fried chicken. Even with the one day of drizzle rain a few wondered onto the water. On Sunday its expected to be sunny and plenty of winds for anyone staying around. I was able to take a few pictures even though the darker hulls do not show up as well. But maybe these will do until others come along with better shots. Oh I forgot to say that the Old Codger looked mighty nice from the outside. But he did not give me a pass to get on board to check and see if he had added the beer cooler ballast though..

Chick Ludwig Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Oyster, sorry you didn't get aboard. But, no beer cooler ballast. Sweet tea ballast was in place. The Old Codger and I are sorry that we had to come home early. I've been having a medical problem.Enough about that. We had a great time re-visiting old friends, and meeting new ones. I'll write a bit more and add some pictures soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
