I give up
I have no idea why the photo won't upload. Too bad -- it was a dandy. In the immortal words of W.C. Fields: "If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit -- no sense being a damn fool about it."

local options
Rob and other LIS locals....even if you can't bring your boat for the whole weekend (or have plans during the day on Saturday) you are all still welcome to come and have dinner (plans are in the works for a big barr-bee-que) and hang out with all the O'Day owners. Plus there will be live music (we've had 4 years to practice....well, 4 times within those 4 years...but hell who cares?? after a few dark and stormys the music sounds GREAT : ) Mike c.

All Set..
Just booked may slip at Milford Landing. I will be there from the 12th to the 16th. I am trailering my 23 down from New Hampshire. Anybody else looking to trailer, these guys are all set up for us. What they do is give you a "launch Pass" to go across the way and launch. Keep your boat tied up there, bring truck/trailer back to the marina, then take a foot brigde over to retrive your boat (unless your wife/partner isn't afriad to move either the truck or boat, then you can just meet up at the marina...ha ha ha). This will be my first rOnDAYvous and really looking forward to meet you all.

Curses!
It sounds like great good fun. And here I am land locked in the Great Lakes unable to find my way to the eastern seaboard for a the rOnDAYvous. So I say curses. Hope you all have a great time. Mike Pitterpat

You gotta do it!
RAD, Trying to plan a Long Island circumnav? Then you have to make the rOnDAYvous part of your plans. There will be owners from the North Shore, South Shore, Connecticut Shore, Jersey Shore and much more -- so there's bound to be someone from your area, or from somewhere along your route. Best way I know of to fit the rOnDAYvous into your plans? Pick up a pen (a Sharpie is best), walk over to your kitchen calendar, write the word "rOnDAYvous" in big block letters on the dates July 13-15, then get out your chartbook and start dreaming of warmer weather. See you there (I hope)... Pete s/v EmmieLou (O-322) Little Silver, NJ
