Vineyard Northeast Rendezvous

Well Guys here’s the scoop on doing a Vineyard Northeast Rendezvous. In order for this to happen we need to gather enough true interest very soon. Back in September I collected 10 names. However, since my computer hard drive died I don’t have that list anymore. So all those interested should chime in again and we need to repeat these messages periodically so the occasional visitors here get the word. Once we have a group of confirmed people, they MUST sign up for slips in the first week of February (when OB starts taking slip reservations), in order to get slips in Oak Bluffs.
Site:
http://www.oakbluffsharbor.com/index.shtmlThese slips go very quickly. However, they have not updated the web site, but it does start at midnight February 1 2006. They told me that the first weekend in August does not sell out for a month or so, but don’t wait too long. These reservations will be for Friday August 4th and Saturday August 5th.
If someone out there wishes to post information on a web site, that would be great. Maybe, if Patrick has the time, we could get links to these rendezvous sites. This would help get the word out to those who do not log on daily to this site.
Once we have a group of people with confirmed reservations I will arrange a catered dinner at the East Chop Beach Club or Yacht Club based on the number of people that will attend.
I have talked to the OB Harbor Master (Todd Alexander) and he assures me that we will all be placed next to each other and that late comers who want or are stuck with moorings will be placed very close. (e.g. close enough to throw beers to each other)
Just an FYI, there is no rafting in slips! They are all stern to with pilings between each slip. However, the moorings do raft up to 4 per mooring
For all those who express interest in attending, but without boats or do not wish to sleep on RLDT’s, I can post lists of “acceptable” lodging. These places can also be found on the Oak Bluffs Web Site. Oh and Timmy, your welcome to sleep on my RLDT and we’ll talk to the wife and see if your allowed at MY house.
As far as finding “sponsors” for gifts and all that stuff, someone elese can do that if they want, but I personally just want to have a few drinks and dinner with good people and nice boats, not that interested in winning anything and the dinner wont be that expensive anyways. We’ll discuss menu and stuff once we get a confirmed head count.
That’s it for now, lets see what happens. The more boats the better, but a few good people, is fine with me.
