Winds of Cal'tember

Six boats responded positively to my query of interest in a Puget Sound Cal Rendezvous this fall. Eight if you count Reggie and a friend threatening to "sail" in from the Big Sky. Even Fiver said she'd try to show up by Bayliner, since BB-54 is under development. That's enough for me. I've booked moorage and the use of a shore-side party house at Arabella's Landing in Gig Harbor for Saturday the 8th of September, I will send a notice to 48 Degrees North to drum up non-listee interest. I will also personally shame at least two more Cal's from my dock into showing up, and I urge each of you to do the same. If we get the word out, I think we'll surprise ourselves at the attendance. Each boat should make it's own reservations at Arabella's, letting them know you're with the Cal Group. Moorage is a buck a foot, and includes the usual shoreside amenities. I will ask for a donation from each boat to cover the weekend's expenses. The menu will follow Cap't Fatty Goodlander's recipe for "stone soup,", which is to say a party is announced, and everyone puts whatever they bring into the"pot". Somehow there's always more than enough!

Good work, Fred; if I manage to get afloat by then I'll try and make it. I recall a recipe from Newfoundland for a type of stone soup: to make a tender squid chowder you first find a good piece of flint and simmer it, seasoned with salt and pepper for about an hour then drop in the squid. Leave it on a warm stove overnight and bring it up to a brisk boil in the morning. By the afternoon you can start testing the flint with a fork & by the time it's well done the squid will be nice and tender. Nick There's many a dip 'tween boat and slip.

Sleipnir's locked in for Sept 8th at Arabella's. Took about 15 minutes for them to find the reservation, somehow it was written down but not entered into the computer. Thanks for setting this up Fred.

Hi Fred, I would love to come down from Vancouver.... but I'll have to see just how things pan out through the summer. I'd say it's about a 25% chance with the boat as it would be a couple of days both ways. I am still making trips down to Bellevue City Hall for my project there, so I may just try to coordinate a trip with a leg towards Gig Harbor for that weekend, in my truck...... I'd love to come down with the boat down though. Pencil me in.
