Albin Owners Group

Menu sounds great. We're looking forward to meeting folks. We'll be bringing an appetizer and will be adding to dessert. One can never have enough of those!

No Love on the Tuna this year, I guess I jinxed myself! We will be bringing either corn dip, or potato salad.
I did catch some Mahi and a Blue Marlin. Laurel is very protective over her Mahi though!

It sounds like we need some roughage so "Off Duty" will bring the famous "Apple Chip and Mandarin Orange Garden Salad". I will probably troll south of the Narrows on Friday afternoon so maybe some stripper too. No luck this weekend so don't get your hopes up.

I plan to bring some cheese/sausage/crackers appetizer type stuff for Friday afternoon's Happy Hour, and a cucumber salad for Saturday............we're looking forward to it!

Looks like my attempt at posting Hans's e-mail for folks wanting courtesy vessel exams failed. Evidently you can't post e-mail addresses here. We'll be arriving at approximately 2:00 on Friday afternoon. We'll keep the radio on, so just hail us on Channel 9. Make sure to have your vessel documents if you sign up, as that's one of the requirements.

Hi Peggy,
If you want to post email addresses uses spaces inbetween. peggy AT yourdomain.com.
I'll have my documentation.

The list is growing. I think we lost count. Maybe up to 25 boats plus walk-ins?

Thanks,

John

Twenty five boats -- YAYYYYY! I'm psyched.
The Albins are wonderful boats, whether they are of the old style Taiwanese Trawler, like ours, or the newer, USA-built go-faster cruisers. Quality, and style. I'm looking forward to seeing the variety that shows up at St. Michaels this coming weekend.
And now that I know how to post an e-mail address. . . Contact Hans via e-mail at danskviking at comcast dot net if you are interested in having a Coast Guard Courtesy Exam for your boat some time during the rendezvous.

We haven't received any feedback on hosting happy hour but haven't seen any other offers either so we'll plan on hosting and whatever doesn't get eaten/drank, we'll bring Sat. In addition, we're bringing chips, homemade salsa, guacamole & chocolate covered strawberries (Sat.). Unfortunately our electrical system went tango uniform yesterday. Long story short, we have mission critical systems like fridge & air conditioning but no A/C outlets or ice maker. Looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow.

Things look good. Thanks for hosting happy hour. Afterglow and Quest are leaving Annapolis at 8 am. We hope to arrive in St. Michaels before anyone else and be the welcoming committee. See everyone there.

We weren't the first in but it has started out great. I have lost count but I'm thinkng about 15 or 16 boats so far. Lou is doing a great coordinating this event and everyone seems to like St. Michaels.
I think Sharon and I have finally agreed and decided on our next boat. There are great examples here from 28s to a 43.
Our two "host" boats tonight were a 36 trawler and 36 EC. Great folks, great times.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Lou, thanks for getting everything planned for this weekend. This will be our first get together with your group, and we are looking forward to it... We keep our Albin 28 TE at the Cambridge, MD Yacht Club, and are leaving this morning, Saturday, should be there by noon. Will bring a big lemon pound cake...
