New England Get together re-visited

[Trayder]

How does the weekend of August 8-11 sound? This is the weekend of the Newport Jazz festival.

I was thinking about some fishing on Sat 10th AM, Anchoring/Rafting up together and listening to the Music for a few hours in the Mid afternoon and then a BBQ dinner at my home on Sat PM???

Sunday would be up in the air, I figured we could make plans at the BBQ on Sat eve.

I hope many of you guys will visit. I have ample secure storage at my home for 10+ boats.

The only issue with this weekend are the hotel rates. After calling some local hotels the rates are from $100 to 400+ per evening. These are hotels in the Newport area and they seem to jack the rates up for the Jazz festival. The nice thing about RI, the smallest state, is you do not have to stay in Newport and will still be able to remain near by.

Please tell me what you think and if you would be able to attend si I can start working on logistics and all the other fun stuff [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
