Paul I agree...but we have some time to get something together and perhaps we'll get some more of a commitment from other boaters.

We could also designate a "Trojan" weekend sort of...
We can have chapters. Midwest, mid atlantic, southeast, northeast and west coast. Each chapter can designate their own weekend of get togethers and post about them afterwards.

Food for thought. :roll:

My F-26 has a measly 54 gallon capacity which doesn't give me much range. Maybe one day I'll get new tanks/capacity.

From Norfolk, the Urbana/Tides Inn area is about as far as I can go without stopping for fuel.

Now if I can get someone to watch the kids for me and the wife.

No, I'm in Lauderdale. I moved down here from Norfolk in 2004. 5 weeks ago I was moving the big boat from Newport to Lauderdale and made Norfolk the fuel stop. Very disappointed with waterside. I can't believe some committee thought that it would be a good idea to kick out paying tenants with out a plan to put new ones in.

I don't think I can make it up north in the spring, just to far, but if the Florida chapter gets a plan together I'll be there.

Ken that's what inlaws are for and they're lots of places to get gas. My marnia for one or deltaville and some of us going north would or could run with you. And Ron control yourself man. Come on you Trojan owners don't think I can't because of this and that.Think over come this and that. I'll be there :wink:

We could call it "Trojanpolooza" :lol:

Well I'm up for anything mid-bay, seems good for Baltimore and lower bay. Would still be around 100 mile round trip for me. But I'll go with the flow :wink:

I probably missed it in the first posts but when and where. I would be coming out of Baltimore. Don't know if you want the Port Kinsale or what guessing that would be about a 7hr ride? :?

I have the utmost repect for Tony, his wife and his boat. I have witnessed his voyage up the bay and up the Potomac and back...not to mention his present trip to NC!

So when he says he wants to go here or there and meet up, rest assured, he'll be there...before us!

Some of my dock mates rave about Deltaville. The local Yacht club goes there every year for their shake down cruise.
