Just want to say to everyone who helped put this Palooza together: Thank You!!! Thanks to Grady White, Tri-State Marine and Boaters World, and personal thanks to Donna and Dennis Kaler, and Jeff Drury. Without their substantial efforts, this event would not have happened. Thanks also to Brian and Cathy Hodgson, who we joined on their boat "C-Time", and had a great time with them on the raft-up, and to all the others who made this weekend so enjoyable.

We knew it would be good, but this Palooza far exceeded our expectations.

The entire event was truly outstanding. Many thanks to Donna, Dennis, and Jeff for all their efforts, and to all the new folks we met from CBGWC who welcomed us so warmly.

Bill, it was great seeing you and Reidun again, and we really enjoyed all the time we spent together.

"C-Time" had an easy 90nm run home today - just 3.5hrs to Little Creek Inlet at an economical 4500RPM cruise.

Thanks again to all,
Brian & Cathy

It's a good thing nobody showed up with an overpowered Grady...you all could have died. :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry we missed the festivities, but live music and beer...lots and lots of beer...at the Greene Turtle in Prince Frederick took precedence. :D
