Trying to relax. Randy, Jane and Fuller...A motley crew indeed! |
Tuesday morning found us on the way to Solomon's Island. We always feel like we have come home when we turn off of Highway 4 onto Dowell road. I was again dockmaster for the weekend and Cindy was jack-of-all-trades helping where needed getting ready for the Rendezvous. We had the usual talks and mini-seminars, the always popular tools and gadgets session as well as the Krogen Crawl where people open their boats for two afternoons to show off their new improvements.

Sylvianne has good aim! |
Everyone brought out of date flares to shoot at the flare demonstration. |
But the Saturday night party....what a party!! The theme was "Woodstock" and since most of the members are approximately our age, it was a blast from the past. Our "house band", Classic Case, was back for the fourth year in a row and they did a great job as usual. The costumes were something else. There were a bunch of fake but well-rolled "doobies"--Hmmm. Our friends Jeff & Karen (non-Krogen owners who were there to speak) paid us all quite a compliment in their cruising blog when they said "One thing about these Krogen owners - they know how to throw a party!"!

It turned out that like the original event 40 years earlier, we had three days of peace, love and music...oh yeah, and trawlers.
