TN Kelly Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Who will be at the Boat Festival in Washington NC on Apr 26th? Would anyone recommend the Baymont Inn for lodging? Can a person get a good steak there? Quote
ricknriver Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Hi, At this time I'll be bringing the BH19, Tony Day plans to bring his P22, and Graham and Carla will be bringing components of the new CS17 MkIII to demo construction. Allen may bring his CS17. I will offer to bring any other boats Graham has available his shop is only about a hour from us. No personal/friends knowledge on the Baymont In, in nearby Chocowinity but it has some good, some so-so reviews. Its about 4 miles from the Washington waterfront. A couple of local restaurants close by but best food choices probably downtown Washington. Hampton used to be best around but crappy reviews lately, and its also a couple of miles from downtown. Appolo's (on the waterfront) steaks pretty good last we went couple of weeks ago. Other decent 3 stars on the waterfront too. Our favorite - Backwater Jacks on the water but about a mile east of the downtown waterfront at our boat ramps and kayak outfitters. Very popular Tiki type place with very good food, great views, but not fancy. Hope this helps. Look forward to seeing you. Ring if more info needed. Rick 252-945-4472 Quote
TN Kelly Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 That is perfect. Absolutely perfect. I am smitten with these boats. I would really like to see one or two in person. I will have my wife with me, we are making a weekend out of it. (Knoxville TN here) Looking forward to meeting you all. If there is anything I can do to help you all move stuff, don't hesitate. I have a trailer hitch, so don't be shy. Peace and Respect Kelly Quote
ricknriver Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Great. Also the Comfort Inn is apparently ok too. I may also go get the Mandy/Amanda the Friday before to show if available at Graham's and if ok with him. See you all on the 26th. Rick 252-945-4472 Quote
rstanley Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Rick, Look forward to seeing everyone this coming weekend. I should be around home, Washington, Friday and Saturday morning if anyone needs a hand. If we have extra boats needing someone to haul them to and from the event just let me know. 252-940-8107 Quote
ricknriver Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Hi, I'm going to Graham's to pick up the Mandy/Amanda Friday. Could use your help setting up the tent and our boat area on Sat morning say about 0830? We'll be just west of the Chamber of Commerce brick building on the waterfront. Thanks, Rick 252-945-4472 Quote
