2014 Florida Rendezvous

[seasalt]

I just got a forwarded email from Chuck Waygood about a 2014 AOG rendezvous at Twin Dolphin Marina in Bradenton, Florida set for April 1. My Rendezvous section in this forum still says TBA for 2014 and shows zero posts.

Is there somewhere else I should be checking?

[Dudley]

I think the site was decided last May at the last Rendezvous. There has been little planning done for this rendezvous but I live in Bradenton and would welcome any comments. my e.mail is sf260w@yahoo.com

I received this email after Chuck sent me the contact information from the person organizing the event:

"Hi Ron
Yes we are taking registrations for the Rendezvous on April 1- 4, 2014 at Twin Dolphin Marina in Bradenton, FL. We have 10 boats registered already and more coming. If you need a new form I can E-mail it to you so we can get your information and put you on our list. Welcome aboard!

Joe Milbauer"

I also have a registration form that says the fee should be sent by February 15 to Joe.

I am guessing that you and I are not the only ones who did not hear about it.

I spoke to Joe Milbauer and he requested help in getting the rendezvous section updated. I send Dougsea and email asking him to help Joe.

The very best thing about Twin Dolphin is that Charley Price is no longer harbormaster.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my wife and I would like to attend this. How do we get an application? I assume since it's a four day thingy, we don't need to be there for all four (4) days? We have company thru 01 April.
