Albin Owners Group

Hi Rick,

I made a reservation for June 21st at the Constitution Marina. When talking with Sebastion it appeared he wasn't aware of the rendezvous. Maybe it's just me. I have that age thing going you know (BC 61).

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Joe H

He certainly knows about the rendezvous. Saw him today. Glad you signed up!

Rick

The Joint Venture (Marcia & John) are signed in for the 19th,20th,21st,22nd. No firm travel itinerary yet .

Glad you guys are making the trip. Let me know if you have any questions about the Marina or surrounding area. Great time of year to be in Boston.

Rick

Hi I'm a new member and would have enjoyed the rendezvous but am leaving for Maine on June 24th.

I own an Albin 28TE (2004) and do extensive cruising with her. Just completed the installation of a watermaker..

Hank

Hi Hank. If your p;ans change, love to have you in Boston. Water maker sounds great, now if only someone can invent a fuel maker from sea water...

Rick

Well Rick, they have invented such a device. The problem is that it takes more energy to make the fuel than the fuel contains......

For those of you interested in attending the Boston Rendezvous but not bringing your boat, Constitution Marina offers a Bed & Breakfast Afloat program where you can stay aboard one of the larger boats at the marina or in one of the floating hotel rooms. Just an idea to get more people ivolkved.

See you there.

Rick

What's the latest list of attendes look like. I hope we can get a decent showing. We're looking forward to having the "locals" point out the hot fishing holes.

Sorry I can't make it. I'm busy that weekend.

For you NE Rendezvouers, the fishing really turned on in Boston this weekend. Lots of bass (keeper sized), flounder and even cod within a few miles of Constitution Marina. So bring your gear!

Rick

Looking forward to the big event, and we will be bringing ALL the fishing gear. Also, we should get back to the Chesapeake group and see if we are going to have the iChat video conference for one of the gatherings. Do we have an agenda set? I'm thinking that cocktails on Saturday would be a good time to try to hook up with the southerners.

Here is a very quick itinerary. Thoughts welcome.

Rick

See you Friday for cocktails .... planning to arrive mid-afternoon before the go fast commuter boats begin to fly out of town.

Hi all.

Please make sure you call Constitution Marina for your reservation. Once they have final numbers they'll work to group us together.

Please post here or send to Dougsea any other event ideas.

Mystic Marine Fuel near the marina will have the best prices for your return trips.

Thanks!

Rick
