2015 NW Rendezvous Planning at the Boat Show

[dkircher]

Pacific NW Albin owners, past, present and future,

After some discussion of schedules, we have decided to hold our annual boat show dinner on Friday, January 23rd. My apologies for those of you unable to attend on that date.

Our agenda is simple. We'll enjoy sharing Albin stories and catching up with a great group of boaters and discuss some of the details of our July 18-20, 2015 rendezvous in Kingston. John Reynolds is working on the arrangements and I will continue to help out with the communication and other logistics. Howard has also offered to help out.

Please let us know if you plan to attend on the 23rd. If you can't make that date please share your rendezvous ideas.

I look forward to seeing you on January 23rd and/or at the rendezvous. I'll post more information and make dinner reservations next month.

Have an enjoyable and safe holiday season!

John & Dave: This weekend will not work for me. Have to be at mandatory legal seminar in San Diego. Following Thur/Fri. would have worked well for me. Enjoy the meet. Would really have enjoyed seeing all after the show.

Also can't make it on the first weekend of the show as will be in Santa Barbara. Is there a tentative date for the rendezvous?

FYI, I am trying to get the weekend of July 18th for the rendezvous. The Port of Kingston does not start taking reservations until January 2nd. And, I hear there is always a line of people trying to nail down dates when the office opens. So, I'll get there early. The 18th should be OK, but I'll confirm it on the 2nd.

[joreyn]

The confirmed dates for the rendezvous are arriving 7/17 and departing 7/19. You can easily extend at your option. See my post on the other thread for more info.

John,

That's great news! Thanks for making the reservation.

Pacific NW Albin Owners,

We are anticipating a terrific rendezvous in July at nearby Kingston. Some of the owners who didn't want to travel long distances in the past, will hopefully make the run.

In terms of Rendezvous Planning...

Please let me know if you plan to join us on the 23rd of January at about 6pm near the boat show. The plan is to dine at Elysian Fields, 542 1st Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98104. It is directly west of the boat show. I'll make reservations once I have a sense of how many folks will attend. Send me a PM, reply to this post or email me at: d2kircher[at]msn.com. Thanks.

John has already laid out some activities for the rendezvous and we would like yours to add to the list. I hope to see you on the 23rd!

Possible Change in Date for Boat Show Dinner

Since my last post, it has become possible to hold our dinner on Jan. 30th instead of the 23rd. Please let me know if this works for you. If some of you already have reservations for the 23rd, we don't have to make this change.

So please PM,post or email me d2kircher(at)msn.com

Thanks. I hope to see you at the boat show and the Kingston Rendezvous

Dave the change would work for me. However, if it will cause others a problem with reservations already made then stay with original date.

Hi all,

Well, it appears that the evening of January 30th works for many of our NW Albin owners. I plan to make dinner reservations next week. So if you haven't notified me that you will be able to attend, please post, PM or email me: d2kircher[at]msn.com.

I am looking forward to a good time and to our boat show.


Best wishes,

[whwells]

John & Dave: Thank you all for finding workable dates. Looking forward to attendance and seeing all who are there. Jeff Sharff tells me he will be there as well with the new dates.

Alice and I will plan to be there, but my schedule is less than totally predictable so there is a chance we'll be a no-show. But for now, we'll be there for dinner and the show. Looking forward to the rendezvous as well!

[dkircher]

Val,

Thanks. I hope you and Alice will be able to join us. In any event I'll include you two in the reservations.

Hi Albin owners,

I am making reservations for us at:

Elysian Fields

We'll meet at the Elysian Fields brewpub, which is directly across the street from the boat show, at 6 pm on Friday, Jan. 30th.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Looking forward to tomorrow.
