Annapolis EBS

[Don Z.]

Because Jamie asked, and because it looked like the dates were getting confused on the other thread:

It looks like the Annapolis Chapter of the WoodenBoat EBS will be meeting at Davis' in Eastport. I'd like to propose a start time of 17.00 (that's 5PM to those on a 12 hour clock, two bells of the first dogwatch if you're on a naval clock, or when Mickey's big hand is on the twelve and his little hand is on the five if you're in the Air Force)...

Please vote on the date, and we can change the time depending on how people feel about that...

[S.V. Airlie]

I am picking Sat.. but as I have written before.. any day... Just not the 16th TAXES!

..or when Mickey's big hand is on the twelve and his little hand is on the five if you're in the Air Force)...


:D :D

[S.V. Airlie]

Well, it appears to be Sat.. 1700 hours.. See ya there.

[S.V. Airlie]

Well, it looks like the four.. or five of us at Davis'
1700 hours.. plus or minus.. Last one there pays...:eek:

[Uncle Duke]

I'll be there unless I'm overtaken by events - might even bring the wife this time. Given the warning above I'll also try not to be last! :D

[NealmCarter]

Whats the EBS stand for?....Ever Been Sunk?......

[S.V. Airlie]

[Another One]

Okay, tentatively I'll be there . . . .

Jami

[S.V. Airlie]

One doesn't sink in the Chesapeake... one runs aground...

[S.V. Airlie]

Done that Don Z....
Was just being stupid.. but at least it was mud...:rolleyes:

[paladin]

didja know that parts of the channel to Rock Hall is less than 6 feet?...:D :D

[Uncle Duke]

One doesn't sink in the Chesapeake... one runs aground...
Language is important here. When it is someone else, they "ran aground". When you are talking about yourself, you "touched bottom".
:D

[paladin]

I "touched bottom" REAL HARD!....:D

[Dale Genther]

Chuck, the channel through Rock Hall harbor was dredged last summer, It is now 8 ft. at MLW. You still have to stay in the channel though. It is 1-2 ft. outside the channel, but it is well marked.

[paladin]

Now that's the same story they told me three years ago...."Oh Sure, Cap'n, you won't have any trouble with that boat"..........I was in the marked channel and in an area where the water wiggles around a bit, it packed up some sand with it. I finally rowed all the anchors out and hooked up to the big primaries, and winched out of it........:o

[S.V. Airlie]

Well, my last trip to Rock Hall was before the dredging Uncas drew about 5'6".. So, I was heading for the breakwater and the guy ahead of me.. I was watching closely.. basically kissed the starboard entrance marker.. I mean kissed as in first.. or second date kissed...
Umm, I thought.. okay... I'm gonna follow him.:D
No problems.. but the area in the center of the harbor is umm.. or was shallow... Avoided that...;)
So.. did not touch...

[Matt J.]

My name's probably mud by now. I couldn't make it. Long story.

I hope everyone's there now still having fun.

Ditto... in the same boat. Too much to do, not enough time...

[paladin]

We Know!!!! after standing outside waiting around for nearly 2 hours waiting for seating for 8-9 peeeples...youse folks dunno show, Jami calls from Pennsylvania with a sob story...and the doggone place that MATTJ picked dunno have no steaks except the toooob kind.....:D

[Matt J.]

I'm really so sorry, Chuck. I hope you all had fun with those who did show?:(

[Uncle Duke]

I'm sure Chuck is joking. Debby and I were there and it really wasn't 2 hours - not much more than an hour and change, max. :D
And, frankly, the tube steaks were perfectly fine - moist yet firm with a hint of fruit. Jamie made friends with all the local dogs but it would really be improper for anyone to bring up the incident with the balls.
So let's just forget that, shall we?
:D

[Nanoose]

didja know that parts of the channel to Rock Hall is less than 6 feet?...:D :D

No problem - we only draw 3. :)

[paladin]

Matt...sorry...I wuz joking....but was looking forward to seeing you and the missus........:D....and we're not saying that Jamie smelled like a dog....but he attracted all the many, many dawgs roaming around there...

[S.V. Airlie]

Well being last to respond.. Thanks Unc for umm picking up the tab. I was only joking about shgowing up last.
Jami, am sorry you got stuck between two Amish carriages on a one lane road..:rolleyes:
It was a very small gathering.. Matt, there isn't a dog house big enough for you;) This is #2....you have missed.. lol...
Oh and the anatomy we were discussing had nothing to do with dogs.:eek:
Chuck brought me a fith of umm.. the really good stuff.. I mean the GOOD stuff. Now I know I am supposed to share it with Cecil and I will but I may have to sample some of it before heading to NS. I mean, you are only allowed to bring so much across the border...

The next EBS will be held at Matt's house. Then there won't be any excuses...:D

[Another One]

Guys, I really, really would rather have been there. I mean, really.

On the other hand, I did make it to that Havre de Grace rummage sale at the marina, and (among other things) got to meet a Portuguese Water Dog. So the trip wasn't a total loss . . . and there's always the chance of another EBS somewhere near Hartford in June. What do you say?

Jami

[S.V. Airlie]

Sorry too that you couldn't make it.. Except for Duke and his better half, just two old pharts anyway...:rolleyes:
