It would be great if some of us from down
south could plan a trip up the intracoastal
to meet some northern Whalers halfway!
Not that I could take any time off in the
forseeable future.
I believe Clark and the SCN. made a trip
north up the ICW.I can not remember how far.
Just a thought.

I think that would be a great idea! I would be very interested in meeting somewhere on ICW to meet some of the great people that are Whaler lovers. Each morning when I come into work, the first thing I do is open this site and read the forums of what people have to say about different issues on classic whalers. The chance of getting to meet some of them in person I think would be great!
Just my 2 cents

I was thinking more along the lines of some place and some time like this:
We meet at a large inland lake in the central U.S., in the south, something like Lake of the Ozarks.
And we meet in the fall, when the weather up north is well past prime boating season.
Most Whalers are trailerable, so getting to the Rendezvous should not be too hard, even if you're coming 500 miles.
By making it an inland lake, people with smaller boats can participate, too.
And Lake of the Ozarks (or something similar) would have plenty of water to explore, and have plenty of shore accomodations (since we are not all going to be sleeping aboard).
I'd give serious consideration to driving down south in the fall for a meet at a nice lake in late October.

Where is Lake of the Ozarks?
I'd be up for a get together if not too far.
I'm in Delaware.

Lake of the Ozarks is in Missouri, perhaps not the closest body of water to Delaware :-)
Maybe Kentucky Lake? It is about 100 miles long in western Tennessee and Kentucky.
And we could even visit the Sea-Ray plant, too! [OK, I am kidding.]

Boy o'boy those Lb's must taste good today! Chuckle -- well James me boy let us take a little look see at these exotic locals --
From one Bev Dr to L of O = 700 miles
From a place called Delaware hmm just a touch over 1000 miles
Now Bev Dr to K L = approx. 560 miles and
From Delaware oh about 800 miles however from Bev Dr to Delaware just a short 600 miles ---
Interesting --- you adverse to a little salt water?
