Were all in the same boat
So, that phrase has a truer meaning after this weekend!
I know Ric relayed my Absolute (or was it Ketel One?) enjoyment of our trip to Boston and meeting you and your mates. My new found wisdom is that smart men buy Albins, and those same smart men have made very smart choices in their partners! You all were way more fun than I ever expected.
Guys, please pass my email address to the ladies so we can stay in touch.
Stay well, and I'm already looking forward to next encounter.

Well Karen, I’d have to agree with you on ALL points .
Erika & I totally enjoyed your company as I have already mentioned to Ric. I will pass your post onto Erika and I’m sure she’ll be in touch.
Now that I've had some time to get back to the norm here and think back to this past weekend (what I remember of it anyway )I too realize that I have learned a few things.
I'll put myself out on the firing line and share some:
If a New Englander says "Sounds Good" "I'm In" "We'll Be There" or anything of the like, expect to hear from them sometime thereafter
If a New Englander says "It's just a 5 minute walk", use public transportation
New Englanders are willing to break the law for a free breakfast
The Albin brochure failed to mention the cabin on a 28TE seats 8 to 10 drunks comfortably
You can never be too drunk to hang out with old people
You should never tie your trolling rigs while drinking Pyrat Rum or Heineken or any combination thereof
The non-skid on the bow of an Albin is not continuous onto all surfaces
In Albin-ometry 31 minus 3 does not equal 28
Someone's imaginary wife can appear at any moment
People without kids really don't like talking about other people's kids

The Albin brochure failed to mention the cabin on a 28TE seats 8 to 10 drunks comfortably "TRUE"

You should never tie your trolling rigs while drinking Pyrat Rum or Heineken or any combination thereof TRUE "YOU SHOULD PUT THE DRINK DOWN AND PICK IT BACK UP WHEN THE KNOTS ARE TIED"

In Albin-ometry 31 minus 3 does not equal 28 HOW SO VERY TRUE!!!
Someone's imaginary wife can appear at any moment WAS SHE FOR HIRE???

Nicely done Kevin but it looks like I need to re-phrase one for clarity:
You should never use trolling rigs previously tied by somenone who, while tieing said rigs, was drinking Pyrat Rum or Heineken or any combination thereof

A few more learnings
More Rendezvous thoughts...
New Yorkers, to their credit, include sausage as a main food group
Albin wives deserve big money awards for their patience but they need to stay away from the blow-up doll in a kilt.
Heads (or bathrooms) are just decorative areas in Albins to store towels
Asian doxies prefer Wesport megayachts over Albins
Bow thruster use increases when there's an audience
And nobody made fun of my make believe wife!
And we'll see you all in Essex,CT. So who's signing up to coordinate?
Rick

As far as the next event the problem with Essex is the fishing. I think Montauk is just as accessible a location and the fishing is 2nd to none (except Boston of course)
I'd like to push Montauk over Essex.
