2011 Rendevouz

Kingman Yacht Center! Easy access to it from south of the Cape and north of the Cape. Not to mention a damn good mudslide and lobster salad!
 
Where is kingman? I don't think block is a great idea as there are limited amount of slip availability...Newport would be pricey maybe...Vineyard? I would be in for this wetpaint
 
Great Location...Somebody just needs to get the ball rolling....Bands, food, dock space, girls, lawyers, etc

Why not join us instead of competing :huh:. It would be a nice trip for you with lots of very cool stops along the way.

Ther was another group that tried to compete with us. From what I recall we clearly came ahead.

CSR AC Rendevouz rocks!!! :thumbsup:
 
I might make that trip this year anyway! I hear there is a free car giveaway this year whoever travels the greatest distance......

Alright, I'm on it.

If you guys want to do something around Buzzards Bay, I would suggest we have a Rendevouz at Kingman during a weekend called "BassAckward Race". Like many good parties / drinking weekends it started out as a sail boat race. There is stuff going on all weekend, but the fun part is on Saturday out at Bassetts Island, which is just a few thousand yards from the docks at Kingman. Its a good party. The race is always held the last weekend in July, but I just checked the website and they have not published a date for 2011 yet.

Here is a video from last years event:

Most of the pictures of folks around the Kingman dock are pretty boring. The fun part kicks in around 3:25 - 3:30 minutes mark on the video. There is a barge with a band playing on Sat afternoon. There is plenty of good beach area if folks don't want to hang on thier boats all day (I can't imagine that....but) and there are even porta-potties. There was 1 raft-up last year of 23 boats. I think we can easily beat that with a CSR raft-up. There are tons of kids around, so any of us with families should feel free to join.

If you have friends that want to join, but can not come by boat, there is a launch that runs from the Kingman docks out to Bassetts. Its a couple bucks around trip. But it is a nice way to have people meet you out there, but not have to spend the night on your boat.

For all you guys that want to spend the weekend, the holding ground around Bassetts is really good and its well protected. I'll plan on spending the weekend at anchor. On Sat night we can have a BBQ on Bassetts Island. Maybe have a bon-fire....a few folks with guitars....maybe some hookers...and illegal substances but I'm getting ahead of myself.

If you would prefer a slip, you can reserve them through Kingman, although they fill up fast because it is a popular weekend.

Let me know if this is of interest and I can start to get more details and plans out to you guys. CapeCodCruiser - if you are around and want to help out, that'd be great.

Thanks,
 
We suck so bad that the AC crew is even taking over this thread advertising their rendezous!
How do you think we feel (long Islanders) We could'nt put more than a half dozen boats together during an august weekend! I have a great idea, why not have a get together to see how many of us long islander boaters wont show up? then give an award for most suckiness! bet we'd win and not the boys from the north!!!!


We Really suck!! bad
 
think positive!
in any event we had a blast
 
Joe, We did have a good time!! It was well worth the 4 mile bay crossing for me just to me you. I'm just starting to give thought to my trip next year. Annapolis or New England (again). Kingman doesn't have a pool?
 
Joe,

I have to admin that with all LI members we have I was expecting to have many more participants. But, I really enjoyed to time with those that made it. It's not about the amount of boats or the place, but the quility and fun time you get out of the event. That's what matters the most. I'll be looking forward to comeback for more fun even if we have only few boats on the LI side.

I think that next season I may have few folks from our local gang to join as well.
 
We also had a great time , especially meeting some new friends i"m just poking fun at ourselves maybe next year the wife will want to travel a bit farther, she just doesnt like to sleep on the boat for more than one night says it's too uncomfortable, maybe a memory foam topper will help?
 
Hey Guys,
I was bummed that you set it up while I was going on that Bermuda cruise for my 10 year anniversary!! I would have certainly went! Hopefully I will see you all next summer, that is if I don't have a birthday party to go to or my kids aren't in any sports that day or if the restaurant isn't having an emergency or if my wife...well you get it!:grin:
Todd
