Capt Ron,
Checking in. Syzygy is ready. Confirming that you have made marina reservations for us... Or should we call? We plan on departing Chucktown around noon.

Will let everyone know later today after I call them and confirm enough space for us together.
If anyone can bring some wood, a grate to cook on the beach or anything else you think we need please let me know?

My wife and I have to leave town Friday to go visit her grandmother, so we will not be able to make this trip.

However, I fully intend on tailing you guys one weekend when you make the trip if thats ok?

Thanks again for the trip, it was great to get more experience sailing and see what its like on the outside firsthand!

Latest Itinerary is:
Friday- Launch from Southport Marina and hang around the area then head over to Bald Head Island Marina for the night with dinner at Mojo's. :D

Sat.-Sail outside to Masonboro inlet then have beach bon fire and cookout either on beach or rafted up on the grills. Spend the night on the hook. Bring your own food and drink and a plate to share. 8)

Sun.-Sail back to Southport Marina load up and head back to home and woooooorrrrrrrk. :cry:

If we can get two more boats for Friday night then I can get us a group discount.
Surely we can scare up 2 more die hard MAC's out there. :P
Or are you too scared that my blue hull will beat you? :cry:
