Come to Milford and join us this weekend!!
For those of you attending the rOnDAYvous this weekend, here's a rough outline of what to expect. First,
Peter will not have his 322 with him, but we hope he drives up as it's just not a rOnDAYvous without him.
Most folks arrive Friday, and time after 11-12ish, and start getting re-acquainted. Beer etc may start flowing.. Sometime around 5:00 plus, it's our world famous O'Day Pot-Luck Supper! We'll gather wherever we can, either amongst the boats, or in an area I hear has a bunch of picnic tables. To me this is the best part of the weekend. Bring an app, a main course, desert, whatever you want. Just make a little extra to share. I know brother Roy will have his amazing apricot pulled pork, Kathy and Peter L will have fantastic chili, and I'll have my pretty damn good baby-backs and some delicous fruit salad.
Patrick John swears he'll have plenty of his world famous, freakin should be illegal rum cake!!!
I have a small propane grill that's available after I heat my ribs, plus many of us have stoves and ovens on board if anyone needs them. Then we just sit around, lie, and most likely drink copious amounts of rum.
Saturday we do whatever.. sleep late, get up early, whatever you want. Mingle, and check out all the wonderful boats. Maybe do a repair or small project, etc. Plan on Saturday breakfast and lunch on your own, or with any of us! Some of us are trying to fill in for Pete and organize a catered dinner for Saturday. We'll either gather at a nearby restaurant, or eat at the picnic tables I mentioned before. We're hoping for the picnic tables.
Sunday people stumble out of their boats, socialize a little more, and head out. Chat it up, and maybe you'll have company if you're planning a little post-rOnDAYvous cruise.
Pete told me that summer Santa may make an apperarance, even though he's still recovering from Christmas! if you have small children with you, or big people that act like children, let Pete know ASAP else there may be just coal.
The main goal of the weekend is to reconnect with once a year friends, create new ones, look at boats, dream of new ideas, and have lots and lots of laughs. If wx cooperates and folks are interested, we could go for a sail as well!
Looking forward to seeing those of you I've already met, and meeting new friends as well!
