Looking forward to it Bruce - I'm planning on rolling in before lunch
on Saturday.
Hi all, Sorry if you're reading this as a crosspost, but I had to get
the word out to all, in time for ya'll to make plans.

Despite dastardly rumours to the contrary, the 2005 Kingston, Ontario
Messabout is going ahead as planned.

Details athttp://www.brucesboats.comincluding maps, schedules,
photos of some floating exhibits who've confirmed their attendence
and other ramblings.

I'll be there Friday eve, 9 September, approx 6 pm to whenever the
wine runs out at the ever popular Wine & Cheese Meet and Greet. Bring
a bottle of your favorite poison and a chunk of cheese or other
appropriate snack.

Saturday, 10 Sept. will be general Messabouting til near sundown,
when we'll re-enact the '03 Pot Luck Dinner. Bring your choice of
tucker (food) and crates (beer, pop, wine, kool aid, etc) and be
prepared to share!

General chatting, conversing and listenin' to Peter Lenihan's lies to
follow the din din, until the last sleepy Messabouter trundles off to
bed while Lenihan and I bore each other to tears. "Have you heard the
one about the talking dog for sale?" and "No Captain, but I've been
blown ashore!"

Sunday, instead of a pot luck beah-front breakfast, anyone who wishes
can congregate at the nearest greasy spoon for Canadian Bacon,
(actually all bacon here is Canadian, and we call Cdn Bacon-Peameal
Bacon just to fool everyone) eggs and anything except gits, "cause
they ain't any up her'n in de' north! sailor!".

Sunday: Diehard Messabouters can messabout to their hearts content as
the multitude pack their tents, bags and boats and head off into the
sunset.
