Well....some good news. The adult refreshments arrived today in plenty of time for the trip East from my house to the LP gathering in May. :)

Nice job Don!

Apple, Peach, Strawberry, Kumquat, Pineapple & Cherry....:eek:

I love high test anything!! :D

All we need is a Lil' Pappy Van Winkle to top off the evening..;)

It is upon us before we know it! Can't wait.. :)

I will volunteer to be the designated driver in the park..:rolleyes:

Finally Offshore on my new home and nailed down my schedule ... I will be working for this years LP meet up... which bites.. but i will be back on here monitoring the lines again. hope to get settled into the new job soon and have a better understanding of the new jobs workings....

Rusty-We will have many a beverage in your honor....Pictures will be posted.:eek:

Danny, Have you or Ken developed a head count for Long Point yet? I was just concerned if Don had enough ethanol. We're only about 5 weeks out or so, Boss

I have for your enjoyment, two apple pie and one cherry flavored adult refreshments. I'm hoping that will be sufficient...even with the Speedy Sandman in attendance!

If you see me without my Brooks on, slap the everlasting crap outta me please.

We live for this time of year. All of our friends are moving. Fish now til June.

Brooks?

Foster Brooks?

Is there room for a derelect without a functional boat as a day-use visitor? I understand there is an alcohol based entry fee for the pleasure of observing boats that actually float. :D

Absolutely, come on… there's always room for another member of the Motley Crew:D!

Roll call and contributions to the "big dance":

Please list site #, food contribution, and intended time with our motley crew.

My schedule is looking better for making at least part of the Long Point gathering. I'm bringing the big boat up from the Caribbean the second half of April, hopefully arriving in Fort Lauderdale by April 30.

The tricky part is Hargrave (the yacht company I've been affiliated with for the past 18 years) is having their Rendezvous in Fort Lauderdale the same weekend as the Long Point gathering. Being the senior Captain with the company, my total absence from the rendezvous may not be in my best interest.

But I'm thinking my son and I can run the 23WA down from Satellite Beach for a Friday overnighter.

Hope to see you there!

Admiral Snookerd, Sir
England / Site 70 (Hogfish Ceviche) / Thursday through Sunday
Standing by, Sir

Quote of the day:
Admiral Farragut - "Damn the Torpedoes, full speed ahead"

Moose crew locked in from Thursday thru Tuesday. Not camping but just across the river at the Sportsmans Lodge. Will be providing exceptional culinary services, fine cigars, and offshore options for the SeaCraftless.

I want a ride in the family truckster!

Does it have a bow thruster? Can Strick play with it?

Site 75. Maybe Thurs - Sunday.

Not sure on the food front yet. Requests? Can Lil Kenny get a baby hog?

Mr. Snookerd,

All present and accounted for in the DonV group!! Friday and Saturday site #79

Not sure about food, I'm more into the logistics of beverage supply. However I'll be bringing something for the stomach. Let me think......

That would be great Lloyd............we need to see that new quality hard top and I have yet to see that 23WA model. Besides, these are the events that the "squids" remember! Bring your son. I will have all 3 kids.

Mr. England, sir, I do hereby nominate you to the rank of Flotilla Admiral. Outstanding food contribution. Way to match Mr. DonV's contributions :D.

Ken-I'm getting hungry just thinking of all that food.

Sandy-
We are booked for site 74 Fri and Sat.......never mind not saying the F-bomb, we have all been practicing our best version of swearing, lying, and general hell raising:D! I am thinking fish and shrimp as my food contribution.

If we can rope in some fresh mahi or wahoo I will set up for rolling sushi and a new creation..... The blackend mahi rueben! If anyone wants to be in on fresh steamers again I will put a call in at the clam house the week before and pick em up.

Ken.....STOP IT, dang you!!! I'm hungry and dinner's an hour away!!!! Had one recently, actually it was grouper and man it's an absolute killer!!! Seeya

I remember the first time I dropped it in front of my mother and older sister. Mom laughed at the sheer temerity of my bombing run and sis was incredulous. What you see is what you get sis. I didn`t always go to church on Sunday and one day I came home and burned my retinas. Papa tried to explain why we got sent to church without them. Consider yourself lucky sis.

I didn`t always go to church after that Sunday, but I never came home early.

It would seem that once again, food will be enjoyed.

Sandy, You know plenty of other interesting ADJECTIVES , probably "tri-lingually" (who else knows about "Grinderswitch" too, except Fr. Frank and he's got really good connections!). Un-wrap the oily cloths and use the ones in your tool box you know will deliver the same message - EXPONENTIALLY, with the class becoming of one "Gofastsandman". It would be different if you were a typical Bayliner boating knucklehead, at the boat ramp, try'in to get on the trailer. Comprehende', me Amigo? Roll on, brother - I got your 6:00. Just be careful of Don V's Elixir short circuiting your bandwidth of "descriptive options".

I'm in a glass house, though - so I need you to make sure I don't step in noth'in in front of the ladies and chill'in too! If I get to go Buffalo huntin' with Kmoose, meet me at the beach with a "gag", or for sure I'll step on F-bomb land mine. WTF, I'm only human!!!

I'm think'in this years Long Point 2014, will be a Religious Experience.

[QUOTE=Terry England;225811]Anyone need a translation?

On the food front. Thinking some Mango and Papaya beurre blanc snnnauce for the pelagics.
Great easy recipe. Ask if any would like it.

And/or the grilled marinated veggie terrine I made for KL.`09. RPITA to build, but just a force of melded beauty. I`ll bring sushi mats and Nori to help the squids have some fun with Mr. Moose. Anyone have any green jeans? Who brought all of these ping pong balls and kazoos?

And yes, you can float a hull with ping pong balls and kazooos.
Very many of them.

Cheeers,
GFSSS

[QUOTE=gofastsandman;225822] My wife has not stopped talking about last year's wellington... it was incredible and I would think the only wellington served on a sand bar island ever....

Let me know what kind of hardware you will be needing Sandy and I will make sure the Swiss Army knife of the SeaCraft fleet will have it aboard and ready.

[QUOTE=kmoose;225831]Home coast this go round so will have sharp tools and 1 not so sharp.

I`ll make Welly again if all would like. Easy to make as long as I can steal/buy/borrow some veal stock from one of my restaurant refugee friends. Snap and I`m done. I cheated on the snauce last time...but it really is an easy prep.

If so, I will need a head count.

[QUOTE=gofastsandman;225847]

Say what??? You need a head count? You're kidding, I'm doing like the Chicago voters do for Obama......I'm voting multiple times!!!! YES!!!! YES!!! and a few more YES!! Hummmm....have I matched the Chicago vote count yet?.....even the dead voters? :)

Count me and Julie in. Want us to bring some cooking wine? You'll have to promise not to spit it on Mr. Moose's knee...

I've got 5 in my clan....go GFS!!!:D

The Chicago Seven has spoken.

Tow vehicle has been serviced for the trip.

That's good, because Don V and I don't want to have to tow you in to Long Point from Yeehaw Junction, if we can help it. Now that would look like one of those Australian "Road Trains", wouldn't it?

I know the ole' Gremlin wagon tows the Wood family nicely....:cool:

Can't wait to see it come into LP with Sceptre in tow...:eek:

Attachment 6734

I have Saran Wrap on my fingertips and keyboard. Bring drinking wine.

Sorry Mr. Moose. When things are funny, well spray may happen.
