Slogging our way up the hellaware with For Play following. Ocean part was a breeze, hellaware is sloppy but seas are with us. Safe travels to all y'all! Great to see and/or meet everyone but a special shout out to Capt. Rusty! He is flat out the man!

Good to see you and Lisa as well.

Looks like a little rain on the Hellaware/C&D/Chesapeake Bay...

I'm home, watching the Yankee game. Great 3h43m (moving time) ride. Untied at 0846. I wanted to get some fuel but Kammerman's was $4.69 !! Outrageous. Turned the boat and headed out Absecon Inlet, ducked in at Little Egg inlet and stopped in Beach Haven for some $3.90/gallon Shell. 131 gallons - the savings paid my pool-bar bill from Saturday. Ran the rest of the way up the Bay. We got rained on the last 3 miles of the trip, which washed the salt away. Off-loaded, jumped in the car and headed home.

Whirlwind weekend for sure. Crappy ride down, a fantastic party with 120 of our closest friends, hanging with Captain Rusty and the fellas, two picture perfect weather days. Gonna be tough to top next year mistercomputerman! I don't have too many pix (I was a bit tied pretty much ALL of Friday) but here's what I have...


Yeah, that's 60 feet of Offerings to The Gods

Lots of people came with chairs. SMART!!!

Dinner and live music by RnR on the docks...

I had a few words to say and some introductions to make. On the far left is your President of Sea Ray boats, Mr. Tim Schiek. In the navy blue shirt is your Senior VP Marketing of Sea Ray boats, Mr. Brad Anderson. The man with four bars in none other than the legendary Captain Rusty Higgins. White shirt is me, fuscia shirt is Rick, and the clapping hands is my partner in music, Robert (shadow9999 here on CSR).

The dulcit tones of RnR...

Debauchery at the pool on Saturday. Golden Nugget has really made the hotel a class operation. Pool is a great place to hang out now. That cabana was reserved for Gary but he wasn't able to make it.

This was our ocean this morning around 0930...

The glitz of Atlantic City in the salt spray. Somebody's a little tired...

Little Egg Inlet. Breakers to the left of me, breakers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you. Overcast the last 50 miles of the trip but rain held off until we were 20 min out of home port.

These JUST IN. Courtesy of Mr. Ken Gerb, who was an immense help getting our group and his (Berkeley Shores Homeowners Civic Assoc - Dominic's hometown) aligned..

That's Ken there on the right. Left to right are the lovely Linda (Dominic's widow) and the beautiful Lyn.

Man, that's a LOTTA food...

Great pictures, we will be posting many this week after deleting ones that are less than presentable. Great ride up the coast with only some light showers. Thanks to Dale and Tina for allowing us to bum a ride. You have an open invitation to visit and try our coast out. Sitting in EWR waiting for the rest of a long trip to be completed but well worth the travel. Thanks to all for taking care of us this weekend!

Marshall, I was going to run some circles around you but that would not have been cool. Glad you made it back OK. If you haven't figured it out yet, Come down on Friday and we can figure out how to get your belt back on.

Here's the shirt. We had 132 made and distributed every last one of them to every attendee at no charge. Thanks VERY much to the generous contributions of our shirt sponsors...all are business owners and CSR members, and all were present at this event except for Todd (Viking Bay), who had a doctor's note.

ivWatch is Four Suns, GC Best Practices is Standers, MICA Corporation is Sea Gull, Viking Bay Enterprises is Nehalennia, Health Union is Converse48 (the artist formerly known as Festivus), Computer Networks Inc. is mistercomputerman (who else??!!), RCS Corporation is shadow9999, TurtleTone Mastering is Turtlesboat (duh), and that last one is me. Each can be googled and have websites if anyone cares to see what these people do for a living.

Very cool Ron! The pictures tell the story. Everyone looks like they were enjoying themselves.

I'm sorry I missed the event. I really wanted to attend this year. Unfortunately my schedule has not been cooperating.

Hopefully next year I can change things around.

And Gary who had gas, or exhaust issues.

Re: 1st Annual Dominic Annunziata Memorial Rendezvous -Farley State Marina, Atlantic

I apologize. Ken, that is correct. Four Suns was a last minute scratch. He had a note from his mechanic.
