Tenn Mac Rendevous Yes , No , Maybe?

[Three Gypsies]

Last summer there was some discussion on a Macgregor rendezvous on the Tenn river , this spring . I volunteered to help out , but have heard nothing else about it .
Are we going to try and put one together ?
A lot of people showed interest , still interested ?

[mrron_tx]

I would love to be making these shindigs.... But it seems like this whole year is full of medical stuff...... Maybe if I didn't live so far from the " big water " places Hopefully later this summer or next year I can make these drives

[SeaGriff]

Is there no interest in this? The admiral and I are going down to the Tennessee river area
to get some early sailing in and were hoping to meet a few local Mac sailors. We should be
there about the middle of April. Probably Pickwick Lake or Kentucky Lake open to suggestions.
If anybody is interested in meeting up let me know.

[Retcoastie]

We are interested. BUT, I have a job now. Part time, two hours, each weekday. SO, We are available for a weekend jaunts only.

I'd be very interested as I have considerable family in the area, but April is simply too soon and too cool for me to bring a boat down. Plus, with my wife working as a teacher, any trip from now to June is pretty much a non-starter.

Yes, I was going to help set up something near Decatur with a run around Wheeler lake, But he winter brought me more responibilities at work this spring I am up to my head in alligators at work with no end in sight until afte June, So I am out of a spring run.......especially if I am organizing !!
Maybe next year......

I believe I was the guy who started this conversation and remember that you and Sailor Stan both originally offered to help in the planning. As I recall you were somewhere around Mobile Bay and a few weeks from home the last time this was discussed.

I am still interested, but agree April is way to soon to try to o this. Especially this year with the relentless winter raging war on the South and Mid-West. Late Sept or early Oct would be ideal based on my past experience. I helped stage and plan a BMW Motorcycle Rally at Pickwick Dam for many years. It was called the "Return to Shiloh" rally.

Sadly, that rally no longer exists and was relocated North and renamed.

I am all in favor of a planning session.

I have taken my new to me Macgregor 26s out about every other week. I sail out of the Paris Landing State Park Marina and plan to head out this weekend. Supposed to be recently warm and decent wind. Befor that id take out my homebuilt Wharram 17 catamaran out. Id be interested in meeting on a weekend.

Would the person who private messaged me concerning , having a planning meeting please send it again , I seem to have accidently deleted it
Thanks !

[Three Gypsies]

Our planning for a midsouth rendezvous is in the beginning stages .
We are talking about a planning meeting in the Pickwick lake area .

Anyone interested ?

[Three Gypsies]

I talked to one other person , yesterday , who is willing to help on the planning . We did agree that we need at least three people to volunteer or its not worth doing , so we need some volunteers , to attend a planning meeting in the north Alabama / Tenn area .

Please let me know thru this thread and private message .

I am quite happy to help in any way I can. I must say that I am not a reliable helper until after June. After that I am pretty open an can commit. But if you asked me today to commit to a meeting next weekend, I would have to say "Maybe". I am working logistics for a new contract for my company and it always seems the 'Showstopper' problems happen on Friday afteroon 10 minutes before quitting time. So I end p flying out or working the weekend. This last month I have worked three impromtu weekends !! OK I'll stop whining now. We deliver in June so there is light at the end of the tunnel. I live close to Decatur in Athens, So I am near. Set a date and time and I will tyo be there. Thats as good as I can do till fter June.

I guess this is a dead issue as we haven't gotten enough response to try and put it together .

[1-Tntimbo]

I did not think it a dead issue, I have been waiting for a reply to our last PM where I suggested 1st or 2nd weeend in april for a planning session. The Boatel is open, not sure I passed that on to you or not.

Actually, I thought there was quite a bit of interest.

Bill Spence also lives in AL and has shown intereshat as a few others. "the winter that just won't quit" has probably influenced some further discussions.
