Just spoke with John ..... he is at the tiki bar with a few other members already having a great time

Must be nice

Working till 630

Will meet up with them all later

Catigale is there, but no one has seen him yet....

I think he climbed into one of those 50' Swan sailboats and has not been heard from since.....

Well had a great time we all eventually met @ the tiki bar

after the Show we all went out for dinner @ an Irish Pub except for Rob & his Admiral as Rob came down with food posioning I beleive from eating @ another location on his way down :( so that was a bit of a bummer for them missing out on all the fun & Geoff joined us all later for dinner after work
Image

I was not able to meet up with silent parnter as I had a list of booths I had to check out for prices & hardware to compare with when I got back home so when I go back on Fri with Geoff & perhaps Rocky I can figure out exactly what I want & decide on some mods I am considering doing or may pass up on !!

I did get some nice 24" LED strip lighting 13.00$ & a couple of small LED red lights 10.00$ each , gas/propane fume alert sniffer

We maybe able to meet -up with Silent Partner Fri when I am back @ the Show with Geoff & Rocky

Anyways was nice meeting everyone again & Steph, Admiral & his sailing friend

was not able to get on the bigger sail boats because of the large line-ups not usually that busy first thing in the morning so decided I can do that on Fri morn when I think it should be less busy in the morn

Robbie & Cheri, you were sorely missed afterwards! Hope your 'experience' doesn't reflect on Toronto, too badly.
I guess from now on, we'll have to refer to you as the Taco Kid!

Our pleasure once again to see everbody, and to meet our most esteemed and fearless moderator Catigale, who underwent great personal sacrifice and, along with his guests, braved the unusually vengeful Canadian weather, just to visit with a bunch of crazy Canucks! (OK – so I exaggerated the weather part a bit). (OK, OK, the crazy part, too).
Hope Shari is taking good care of Rob. :?

Note for next year: consider meeting up at Henry’s instead of the Tiki Hut. :idea:

Thanks for the pix, Highlander. Thanks for yours too, K9. I'm at a loss to explain how you knew how we looked - and with XD-100 in the picture too! :D

Sorry to miss you, Silent Partner. :cry:

-Brian (and Debbie) :wink:

Hi all.
Sorry I missed the party. I worked at the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It is located near Entrance A, at booth 1828, and the back room, which I believe is 105. Anyway, the Four Wiinns signs are near us.

Went to the bar near the sail boats, assuming that is what you meant by the Tiki Bar. not knowing what you guys look like, I braved it, and inquired at a couple of tables. To which they replied, "it could be the Tiki Bar, sure" and "we are if you want us to be."

So, I'm just going to give you my emergency cell. It is a pay-as-you-go, so if you could just text me, then that would be good.

It is ..................................... ask me for it, if you didn't already get it.

I'd really like to hook up with you guys, so i will be there Friday morning, then work the 14:00 to 17:00 shift at the CPS booth.
Hope to meet you .

Silent Partner
