GGrady DE-VA-MA Hoe-Down!! Jeff - Tim: I am assuming that I (we) can organize and plan the GreatGrady DE-MA-VA Hoe-down on this forum and on this thread. If there is a special form or rules that you want me to follow, please let me know. Several of you have contacted me with some great...

Capt. Bill. Got the message and will contact you by phone. Dr. Kleen, looking forward to seeing you up here. Your circumnavigation of DELMARVA sounds interesting and it has piqued our interest to do it sometime. Once again, everyone is welcome. I suppose if there is a requirement it is...

Hey, Capt. This gig is still on, though in the initial planning stages. One reason why I wanted to put off planning for a wee bit is that it is still early, but, and most important, I am taking delivery on my new GW232 in a couple of weeks and I wanted to see through to a satisfactory end the...

Hey, Gman. Did you take the tour? I was in Tar Heel NC on business about two weeks ago and was hoping to get over to the factory but my meetings ran on and on. My boat came in and, I know I am as baised as any new proud daddy, but boy is she a beauty. I have a new slip at Indian River North...

:) Dr. Kleen. Congrats on passing the course. You will likely have special status at the gathering. Last year I took a CG Coastal Navigation course and passed. I think I barely passed. I told my wife that, as a result, she could count on me to get us home safely, maybe a little late, but...

Gman, looking good. I expect my boat from the mgf in about a week. Hope to be in by mid-March. Thanks for the pics. Jim

Hey, folks. :idea: Have not forgotten the festivities. I am going to wait until late March to start planning the details. In the meantime, if you have ideas and/or suggestions, send them along to me directly or by posting on this site. Thanks. Jim

Hunterdorrah, I have a boat coming in within two weeks or so. Electronics include a Northstar 952 Chartplotter, Furuno Sounder (6.5"), and Furuno Radar (1715). I struggled with whether to get a Net with a single display, or whether to get a combo chartplotter and sounder. After checking out...

Brain, it would'nt be the same without you, your wife, and C-Time. The oversight is due to the fact that I thought you were already in! Folks, everyone is invited. There is some transient space available at the Indian River Marina and more at Ocean City. While I beleive that there is...

:oops: Sorry, folks. The last post was mine. I thought I was logged in. Jim

Grady Gig It is written: all great gigs begin with two or more. How about late August? Ideas on timing? 8) It is also written: all great navigations begin with the turn of a screw. The Dlemarva circumnavigation is something my wife and I have talked about. Any ideas how long that...

Drystack Hey Megabytes. Great boat. How has the drystack worked for you? Any problems with having the boat ready when you are? What are the pros and cons from your perspective, especially the cons? I ask because the notion is intriguing given a new drystack coming in at Indian River...
