Slap together whatever will be Windemere's dinghy, its needed anyway.
Plus it will let you get on the water for theraputic rows/sails after

Ice-n-snow? I'm back in Florida, slapping a modular canoe together on

Great news for all boaters and bolgerados within range of Kingston.
The 2003 messabout was fantastic, well organized and lots of fun
with solid information for all combined with a great site. We plan
to be there with the Happy Adventure, a bolger houseboat #481.
Thanks Bruce

Closer in time (and possibly distance, depending on where you're coming
from) is the Southeastern Messabout on Lake Allatoona near Atlanta, GA on
May 13-15, 2005 at Sweetwater Campground, Canton, GA.
We've got quite a few coming already.
(Pardon the gratuitous plug, but the more the merrier!)
Contact me and I'll tell you all about it.

Andrew, They're excellent.
I'll flesh out the details as soon as they solidify, but for now,
expect the following:
Date: The weekend after Labour Day, Sept. 9, 10 and 11, 2005
Location: Same, Rideau Acres Campground, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Events: Friday eve, Wine & Cheese dockside.
Saturday eve: Pot luck in the clubhouse.
Sunday, pot luck breakfast dockside, featuring Sheriff
Bruce's Texas Beans.
The maps, etc at
http://www.brucesboats.com
are all still correct. I'll update the info as soon as I have a few
attendees and their boats on file. So, If you're planning on
attending, an eMail of your intentions, preferably with a pic or two
attached will be much appreciated.
Messabouts Rule!

What are the odds of there being a 2005 Messabout in Kingston this
year? I can haul my pirogue and much of the rest of the fleet over
for a day trip.
