You can count me in. I will be heading up early on Sat AM. I will just be staying the day and shouldn't need a slip for my Montauk. Again, if I can bring something just say the word. It will be myself and maybe my girlfriend. Thanks ~mw |

Well, I can't hide. And now that Outrageman has a new Whaler the pressure of dragging him along is off my back. So sure, I'm in. I just hope I don't have a problem with traffic! Harpoon Harry |

WOW!!! Things sure have a way of coming together at the last minute! We now have RSVPs for 11 boats and 32 people, plus the possibility of 3 more boats and 12 more persons! Thank you all for your RSVPs, this will make things a lot easier to plan. Brian |

Thanks again Blazers for showing us a great time. (although I still have heartburn from those bacon brats) Saturday could not have been better. I hope you had a fun cruise on Sunday. It looked like more of the same weather! It was great to meet all of you. Next time I want another turn on the tube!~mw |

We also had a great time. Sorry we had to bug out so quickly, we were Sherm's ride back to the Marina and he had a long, dark ride ahead of him. Thanks again, Brian & Kate, for your hospitality. Next year, we're taking a week off--we didn't want to leave on Sunday. Don't forget to join us August 2-3 in Bayfield. http://members.tcq.net/davepen/rendezvous.html Dave |

I would love to do this again next year. Maybe if there were some that could come several days earlier, we could take a long overnight run to the north (like Gladstone or Beaver Island). On a seperate note, I just came back from driving a Hinkley 29' CC. If I can just come up with the $250k to get it bought I may be looking for another rendezvous to join. I am seriously considering selling my wife and kids to pay for it. Brian |

Have discussed the Door County Rendesvous with my father in law and he and I would like to "hook up" for next years event. He is in Sturgeon Bay and I would trailer. I know it is a long time out but if you have dates already, I'd appreciate it. Would love to show off our boat and see others that are in the area. |

Book it Dano. Make sure The OutrageMan knows. Lets make a run to Escanaba!?~mw |
| OutrageMan |
posted 09-07-2002 08:27 AM ET (US)
I will actually be in Indy during that time. Not to mention I have a shot engine on the Bertram, and I don't think that the Dauntless would make the run to Escanaba... Brian |
| bdb |
posted 09-07-2002 10:21 AM ET (US)
What Outrageman means to say is that the only way he'll run the Dauntless to Escanaba is aboard a frieghter. By the way MW, if you think Ole Harry is running a Montauk to Escanaba in the middle of October, you're nuts! However, to show my support, I'll monitor you on the radio so you can keep me abreast of the voyage. Harpoon, already in long-johns, Harry |

Let's just run around the DC then. HH, it was HOT this weekend on Washington Island. You really must have been sweating in those long johns! If we go for a long run you guys can jump in with me.~mw |

OK MW...but, Outrageman will verify that as we headed from Ephraim to Fish Creek yesterday, we hit a cold pocket and I started to freeze. Honest. Hhhaarrppppoon HHaarry...shiverin' at the thought of it |

Brian - sorry to hear about your Bertram engine problems. Did you damage it trying to outrun the 25 Outrage!?? I could be interested in a Fall weekend trip in Door County. |

posted 09-09-2002 10:36 PM ET (US)
Larry, My engines are closed cooling. The starboard one dumped its coolant into the bilge. The rest is history. Quite an argument for twins! I hope that when you and I ran to Sister Bay this year, that you still hade something left :) Brian |
| MilwaukeeWhaler |
posted 09-10-2002 09:07 AM ET (US)
How does the weekend of Oct 11 look for you folks? We probably shouldn't do it much later. A Fall DC rendezvous would be a hit for sure.~mw |

My boat will be in the shrink October 11th. Can't make this one. Dave |

Dave, say it ain't so!! Don't shrink it yet. It won't get cold until late November. Last year it was 50 degrees over Thanksgiving.~mw |

Dave, I'll buy your first 5 rounds if you delay the shrink for a week.... |

Thanks for the offer. It's not so much the cold, but beating the rush. 95% of the boats in my area are wrapped for the winter, and only a few outfits do the wrapping. I'd rather do it early then be waiting on a wrap when the snow flies early. Dave |

Have we got a "go" on Door County, and if so, how many we got, and where launch/meet? |

I'd like to attend. '89 15 sport GLS - please send specifics to e-mail address in my profile once you determine a date. Still must confirm with my Navigator. Dave |

posted 09-24-2002 04:53 PM ET (US)
Susan & I have the date set as a "tentative" for that weekend. I'm assuming the Sister Bay Marina will still be open, which is where I plan to be. I've never been up there that late in the season. Sounds like Mills canvas weather. Weather permitting, I would like to do a run up to Rock Island for a picnic lunch and a little hiking around. BDB & Eagleman. Will you folks also be around? Sounds like Brian Jr will be away. |

Larry, Better bring the extra thick sleeping bags if you are going to stay on board. You might even have to get a hotel room. Brian PS I am sure my Dad would love to hook up, just give him a call. I will be out of town. |

Larry, I'll be around. You know the numbers and e-mail. Don't know about that Rock island thing however! Harpoon, stockin' up anti-freeze, Harry |

I've done Washington Island/Rock Island in my 15 CC, but I launched at Gill's Rock, and saved a few miles.... If it's not too choppy, I s'pose Sister Bay would be ok. At least Al Johnston's is open in October... |
| MilwaukeeWhaler |
posted 10-04-2002 01:27 PM ET (US)
Just got back from Montana, I still am planning on attending. We should probably keep the cruise destination on hold until we check the weather. Could be cold, could be 70 degrees. I will probably drive up Sat AM and stay the night. Once again weather permiting! Everyone stay in touch.~mw |

I have room for the Blazers in my OR. Still weather permiting. (I don't feel like running in the rain this time of year.) Looks like it will be warm at least. Sister Bay works for me.~mw |

How about launching around 10 and meeting outside the break wall @ 11AM? How many boats are we expecting? How about a weather report for Harpoon Harry! One last run, it should be fun!~mw |

posted 10-10-2002 02:02 PM ET (US)
Well, I'm gonna show up even if it snows. (In which case I'll probably come down with "neon burn"). If the weather modifies our rendezvous, I'm sure we could find a place to meet and discuss "things Whaler" over liquid sustenance..... |

BULLETIN! Harpoon Harry here, reporting from the near-eye of the storm. Leave the boats home boys. I mean Fuhgitaboudit. South winds tomorrow to 30mph, waves 3-4. Saturday gale winds 35+ and waves building 6-8. Swinging NW 35+. Low temps and t-storms, and maybe snow. Check it out at the web address I gave you above. All this must have scared the snot out of Outrageman who suddenly informed me that he is packin' the wagon, calling it a summer, and tearing off for Portland Friday. Chicken. However, stalwart and brave soul that I am, I will volunteer to sacrifice myself at some local watering hole, should the need arise. Sincerely, The Ever Vigilant Harpoon Harry. Saving boaters for over 50 years. |

posted 10-10-2002 02:27 PM ET (US)
Agreed. I will be there...with every piece of clothing I own on. Weather or no...the liquid sustenance sounds like a good idea no matter what. I'm pretty sure that it'll be a small group with the cold coming in... |
| Buckda |
posted 10-10-2002 02:28 PM ET (US)
well...after reading bdb's post...perhaps we can sit near a window and admire our rigs over a nice pint? Who's in for a picnic?! (Sarcasm) |

posted 10-10-2002 02:41 PM ET (US)
Seriously...who's coming? I'm not going to make the hike to Michigan tomorrow night to pick up the Whaler and haul it 5 hours to Door County if only a couple of people are going to be there...but I am game for anything the rest of you fellas are up for. I've got the gear for whatever weather...but not sure 6 footers in my sport would be pleasant (But am happy to do a bit of wave jumping) |

Yes, I am making like a baby and heading out. Here is the link to the site Father Harpoon mentioned. http://www.yachtworks.net/weather.htm Brian |

Unfortunately, I am unable to make it. But not because of Harry's weather forecast. The old 25 Whaler would have handled it. Going to miss picking up some of Charlie's smoked Atlantic salmon! |

Sure Larry, sure. Tell you what. I'll mail you some of Charlie's fish...4th class. Watch your mailbox! |

I was doing fine until that weather report... I don't relish 3-4 hours driving to pit my 15 footer against 4-8 foot seas. Just checked the newspaper forecast and it agrees with the above. I'm afraid that even the promise of good company can't convince me to make that drive, so I'm gonna welch on this one - much as I love the area. Since hope springs eternal, I'm not putting my boat up just yet. Fall fishing is just getting good. Next year! |
| lhg |
posted 10-11-2002 05:39 PM ET (US)
It's probably just as well we're not going. One of the worst traffic pile-ups I have ever seen (on television) occurred this morning on I-43 at Sheyboygan, and the highway may be closed all weekend. At least 25 vehicles involved, and nine dead. |
| Buckda |
posted 10-11-2002 06:30 PM ET (US)
Saw that too Larry...would definitely make for a detour. Well...I guess that settles it with the rendezvous...I'll be in the Lake this weekend, but on the opposite side - in St. Joseph...jumping the 3-6 footers forecast for that side. Going to be the last of the big lake runs for the year probably....going inland and south from here on out. Anyone else who's gonna be out and about around St. Joseph, feel free to wave me down!

Well folks, at 8:40 (current time) the mess is just starting to roll in. It must be running late. It's somewhat foggy, wind is just starting to pick up, it's damp, cooling, and going to get cold enough to freeze tonight. But if anyone does come up, look me up in the phone book. But don't look under the "H's" |
