All is well Marshall. Getting the itch again. Great shot of you with the cannoli... looks like everyone had a good time. I hope to see you back on the water one day. Take care, Brian

Some of us had to go farther than others and just recently got home...

The FLY at the t-head. Who is that guy with the orange things in his hand? The guy in the white t-shirt was the bouncer Rick hired to keep riff-raff away. Dave was also generous enough to help sponsor the t-shirts.

I got a great parking spot, just across the dock from the FLY and it's two famous captains. To my port is Rick's "For Play." Tables are in position, velvet ropes are set up - no food yet.

The Table in action. Who's that guy with the peach colored shirt? That's Rick at the end on the right in the blue shirt. My co-cruise director and supplier of the credentials, the velvet ropes, the organization and the class behind the event. Rick was also a T-shirt sponsor.

This is where Marshall got the cannoli

Brilliant idea by Rick...hang flags over The Table. Not one seagull even so much as attempted an attack on the food.

42 feet of food crammed onto The Table. We had some super-creative stuff again this year. Paella, fish tacos, stromboli, turkey meatballs, mozzarella and tomatoes, pulled pork. Awesome offerings!

A happy diner...

Wisely, more people brought their deck chairs this year...

Some of the Berkeley Shores Homeowner's Civic Association folks. That's Linda on the far left and third from the right is my co-hort Ken. The man who helped me arrange food and t-shirt sizes and slips.

Amazing but no one spilled anything on my cockpit carpet

U2 was not available this year so we called in the B-team. R & R did a set...

We had a couple of special guest vocalists again this year. This was Kimmi doing "Wonderwall."

This was Aimee doing "American Girl." Fantastic job by both ladies!

Good work, Captain Ron. Thanks for the kudos, but, without both of us this deal would not happen.

I have a bunch more, but, that pretty much tells the story...



If you were there, thanks for showing up.

If you didn't make it, well, it was a good time and you should sign up for the 2015 event when Ron starts the post in January.

Mott the Hoople - That's a band Rick

All the Young dudes - David Bowie song lyrics.

It ain't no Donna Summer but it's Marshall at his best yukking it up!
