Bushy Island Brunch

A beautiful morning with sun, seals, eagles, and the sparkling low tide venue on good ole Bushy. Unbelievable fare ... overnight French toast, smoothies, fruit salads, homemade muffins, blueberry pancakes, bacon wrapped somethings, Bloody Marys, Mint Juleps, and more. All ages from little kids to grandparents.

I did a few quick counts, and came up with 22 humans, 12 boats and 2 dogs.

Hope you all will add pictures and plans for the next rendezvous.

Bushy Island - Columbus Day Weekend Potluck 2013

All's I can say is, there was lots of good food and laughter and sunshine. Really fun!

Spontaneous fall RRA meeting in Brigham's Cove

So we haven't been posting all the gatherings that have taken place this summer. but there have been a respectable amount. Today it started with a few phone calls and ended up with meeting new friends, enjoying amazing baked goods and coffee, and a rescue  in Brigham's Cove. The Jacobs had friends out sailing, Anne and Lara were out in the catboat, the Van Ordens were heading out. All three boats passed close aboard in Winnegance Bay. Then Gold Dust and Rosamond sailed back into Brigham's Cove and picked up moorings. Anne was treated to home baked goodies and meeting new friends, Joan and Bill, aboard Gold Dust. Then a quick rescue on the Phippsburg shore of some clippers that had dropped down onto the seaweed from a hard working landscaper above. Another friendship begun there. The autumnal sailing season at it's best.

Dinner at Holbrooks anyone?

June 22, 2013 ....
was a beautiful day. Phone calls whizzed back and forth - multiple parties interested in going to the Basin for appetizers and on to Holbrooks for dinner. As the meeting time of five o'clock neared, the skies clouded over, darkened, dampened and only a few folks were still in. Ghost Dancing and Gold Dust rafted up in Brighams Cove and their usual crews enjoyed the drizzly evening very much, with good food, conversation, laughter, and libation. Holbrooks another time.

Your thoughts welcome -- Anne -- I'm hoping I made it so you all can enter and edit events at will.

Breakfast at Bushy

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Perhaps more the first formal meeting of the New Meadows gang, dubbed for today, The Wiver Wats, by Charlie, with endless witty wemarks that followed. Breakfast of blueberry cake/muffins, breakfast casserole, eggs and bacon, fresh fruit was enjoyed. Sunny, kinda hot if you were out of the wind. Two boats, Gold Dust and Lucky Charm, brought their crews and we had a nice time, not only with the food, but collecting sea glass and batting around ideas for future get-togethers.

I'm going to make a stab at getting this blog open for everyone to post on. Maybe there could be a contact person for each event - someone who cancels it due to weather or who is the point of contact for folks with questions. You could put your name following an event if you were the planner, perhaps? Keep it simple.

Plans for Holbrooks at 5 next Saturday, 6/22/13. 

Plans for a Shoal Cove Beach party in two weeks -- 6/29/13 - around 4 ish? All plans subject to weather and excuses.

(Feel free to arrange the blog however suits you.) Anne
