Just wondering if ya'll get together with other folks at the end of the weekend? This afternoon a few fellows who are docked near me called and said they had an open grill. Just bring something to put on it. So i grabbed a few beers and a pack of sausage i have been needing to cook and headed down to the marina. About 6 of us showed up and brought our chairs out on the dock as we grilled fresh Gulf shrimp an sausage and visited, we all agreed to meet this Friday evening with spouses to do the same again. My question is, are there dock "parties" like this in ya'lls marina?? frank

Unfortunately I am a "mooring guy" but the get togethers sound great. On occasions, I have hung out with some of the other guys on moorings near me, but it doesn't sound as good as what you are describing!

We usually have a "Marina Committe Meeting" every afternoon from 3 to 5, 7 days a week. Generally on Fridays, it will be a pot luck event where a couple folks have talked about it over the last few days and have planned out a menu. We have a 55 gallon chopped in half custom made grill and fire it up and usually someone has some fish that has been caught, we'll steam up a couple bushells of blue crabs, maybe grill up some venison, or some pork tenderloins and there will be dips and salads and lots of grog for all to partake of.

This past Friday as we were all sitting around, it looked like it would turn out to be a beautiful clear night, it was warm, and since I was the only sober one there, we all hopped aboard and went out for a evening sail. Went out for about 4 to 5 hours with a dozen of us on board and had a blast.

Hate to see summer wanning away since the "Committie" moves indoors during the cooler months. Gets to crowed and stuffy inside for me.

Then on Saturdays, as everyone comes in to either go out or come back, there will be another meeting of the minds. And a repeat on Sunday's. Generally some of the best entertainment can be had there, since we also have a boat launch right at the dock and fuel pier. Watching the ones that don't have a clue is some of the best laughs one can get. We watched a guy's transmission jump out of park into reverse once and with no brake set, and him not setting the wheel chock, we watched a 30 grand diesel 4WD Ford PU go in clear to the top of the cab. Yep, :D:D:D we love it, and oh yes, we got good pictures of it.
