Maybe those of us whom are fortunate enough to have liquid water all year long could entertain the idea of getting together maybe in Nov or Dec and give all these northerners something to dream about.

I was thinking maybe getting together in a central location on the west coast because nothing much ever happens here.

Any Ideas, suggestion, thoughts?

Guys we need some suggestions. The only water I am familiar with is Tampa Bay which would be a good location but, it is only a suggestion at this point.

Find an area in the panhandle and some of the Cajun Checks might be able to make it.

Sorry: must have lost my "inner voice"!

OK I talked to a few guys about this and I came up with something. As for this gathering, it is going to be an unofficial gathering. Anyone is more then welcome to join. Earily December and I think we should keep it in small water due to the unpredictable weather.

Also, I think we should start now to make plans on a larger official gathering in maybe Feb. or March somewhere in north FL so we can have a more central location.

If you don't mind I'll be St. Petes/ Treasure Island checking on a project I designed during the middle of December. If it works out and no one minds that I hang out on their boat, I would like to join in too. I'd bring my boat but I think Northwest might consider it as oversized luggage and it's all wraped up for the cool weather ahead here in Michigan.
