The date for 2022 M&B Messabout is indeed October 21-23. There was some confusion when Marissa announced that date for her wedding day without realizing that it was already booked. She has changed her schedule and life will be back to normal.

Ha, glad priorities are restored!

So, if somebody from a land far, far away were to make it to this event, what airport would that person fly into? Curious just in case somebody were to ask me.

Ken,

 

The nearest airport to us is Newbern. We can pick you up at Newbern and you can stay with us or you can sleep on one of the boats. I usually sleep on board over the weekend.

 

There are two Hubs in NC served by the airlines with commuter service to Newbern, Charlotte and Raleigh. Charlotte is about a 6 hour drive and Raleigh RDU is about a three hour drive. Sometimes it is nearly as cheap to rent a car in Raleigh and drive down giving you a bit more independence and you get to see more of the area.

Ken, remember, checked baggage is getting pretty expensive, can’t imagine what they are going to charge for Rosie!

[Kennneee]

Jay- Thanks for the heads up.  I was going to show up with Rosie and Lula!  I then thought about motoring around with Lula in tow and checked the gas prices.  I think the best solution would be for you to pick me up with your new sail/electric beauty.  Standing by.

I think Rosie, baggage and their escort can fit in the Guppy, which I don't its  being used right now.

Looks like a nice ride but Jay’s boat would be more fun and certainly more classy.

I flew twice to Raleigh and drove down. The first time I stayed in New Bern. It was a pain. Second time I rented a minivan and used it as a tent. Much more fun! This year Skeena will make an appearance behind my car.
