There's a Time and a Place for...... Vikings!
Port Townsend certainly works for us. At this point, we are quite flexible on dates. Is there any way our esteemed administrator can send out emails to those in the PNW and ask them to post their interest in a 2013 rendezvous?
Well, this 2013 thread has had over 100 views as of today. Most likely anyone that's registered here and cares about this regional forum has had a look already.
Sean is super busy, and I am unsure if the site has an easy way to extract the group of email addresses you are thinking of.
Like most of these sort of gatherings, I predict that all it takes, after some basic interest has been expressed so far, is for one person to seize the initiative and make the contacts.
Since it's pretty well decided by a loose consensus that it's Pt Townsend, for a host of logisical reasons, that may decide the "where."
Next, call the harbor master @ Pt Hudson Marina and ask what weekends are still open from mid-June to early July. If there's a choice, put it up here in a new thread and ask for a vote within, say 5 days. Then reserve the slips - about 20 - "ball park guess" - and tell people to get in their individual reservations and deposits. (And, yeah, they'll punt some of their deposit $ if they change their mind after a certain date, but that's life. Been there, punted that.)
Drop me a line if you want to discuss it back channel.
