the link is (marina@greenportvillage.org) . they will have a farmers market a short walk from marina starting in may along with a 122' square rigger coming into port .

Bob what you posted is an email address. In trying to find the link you wanted to post I came across this.

They list the rendezvous as a village event!

thank you peter but i was trying to post a e-mail update they sent out. i mention above they have sailing ship coming in as well as a farmers market where by fresh veggies will be available a block from marina like fresh corn!!

Sponsor response has been scarce at best. I'm going to do a re-mailing and hope for better. I gotta think it's a combination of the economy and that I sent them out late February when it was cold. I will keep you informed and maybe/probably ask for some assistance, as my spare time is getting more and more limited.

Hi Guys ....
To date, I have received three commitments for potential prizes (one is for a discount on a purchase). We are approximately 90 days from the date and my time is getting more and more restricted. My plan is to do another mailing. I will definitely need whatever assistance that can be offered. My time has become very limited and I don't see things letting up in the very near future.
I would like to address this off-line with anyone that is willing to help out this project. I can be reached at:

email might be best, as we can copy in several people to any communications.

ill hit the regulars around me

I just made our reservation for Greenport.

It will be about 8 Hrs. from Marblehead, MA if all is good. Worth it I am sure.

First redezvous for us but I feel like I know some of you from the postings. It will be fun to to meet for real.

ken there will be a farmers market in center of town from farms to the east as well as some select ale`s from the greenport mico brewery. the town (Greenport)made the top five in the nation for places to go by Forbe`s magazine.

Just made my reservation. Finally!

Dug

Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the guys for the first time. I expect to spend a lot of time checking everyones upgrades and modifications.

I will surely walk away with a massive laundry list

They are going to give the slips away if people dont call them soon. There are only 7 boats as of now.

will get my reservation tomorrow

I've tried twice and no one ever called me back.

Placing my hotel reservations this weekend. Still looks as if I am coming in the land yacht again.
BTW......time to order your T-shirts. See the new thread on the general discussion board.

walter i was there sun and made reservations,spot open where charlie was last year,spoke to jeff at the marina,no shakespear this year.there are still some spots across from the main flotilla and behind rumrunner for bigger boats.

Finally got through last week. Just got confirmation of my reservation today. My wife will be disappointed about no Shakespeare. Always complained that I never took her to cultural things. Last year saved the day...for a while.

walterk there will be a large produce farmers market in the center of town this year in addition to sidewalk art show.

Silly question, what are the dates, last weekend in July? will be in Mystic on the 22nd with my other boat and would like to move the boat to the gathering, will need to make arrangements if not to late,thx

August 5,6,7th. No problem. A phone call with a credit card number will guarantee a slip. Tell them you're with the Bertram 31 group. 10% discount on check out if you belong to Sea Tow. The Marina's # should be on page 1 of this thread. Walter

looks like there are a few marinas when I did the search, anyone advise the phone # I need to try to get a dock reserved asap

marlin
try this #
jeff mitchells marina

631 477 2200

That the same Marina we all will be at?

Does anybody know if there are any more docks available for Friday night only? I can't attend the both nights but thinking of coming for Friday night and leaving Sat afternoon. Who should I call?

call the # i just posted for marlin

Charlie-That's Jeff's cell phone number. He then asks you to call the desk at 631-477-2200 for booking.

ok thats the # i had in my cell oops
# corrected thanks walter

did anyone order the tent yet,i will if it has not been done?need to know

I did mailings for prizes only and delivered to Bob Lico those prizes that came to me here in FLA.
If tent needs ordering, please confirm need so that it can be addressed.
I have never been to one of these events, those that have ... please step up and lets try to finalize the needed items.....tents, meals, whatever.
I think Brewster has some/one of the meals set up .... confirmations on numbers may/probably need to be confirmed, as well as $$.
Shirts seem to be moving along....thanks Harv.

So this is my first visit to the Bertram Greenport rendezvous. I'm late to commit but I've made a dock reservation for Friday night; is there anybody else that I need contact?

Boat name is Chauncey 1972 31' Bertram.

Shirts are coming along nicely. Those that haven't ordered may kick themselves for not jumping on board. They are going to look magnificant!! I also received one of 2 boxes of prizes from Bimini Bay. I had a nightmare with UPS and if I had my choice would never use them again. Anyway, still waiting on box #2.

Has anyone addressed tent, tables and chairs ?

im going to call to order the tent like last year,we will have a welcome get together on fri ,late afternoon ,we will have the clam /oyster bar set up ,please feel free to bring any thing to add to the get together,your own drinks etc,goodies. tom hart

Hey guys this will be my first over night trip on the Bertram. A few questions.

I do not have a gererator or inverter but I do have shore power. Thinking about bringing a small microwave and coffee maker from the house. Also a small camping BBQ. Will of course load up the cooler with drinks, fruit, burgers etc.

No AC or screens for the windows but I do have a large role of screening for repairing screen doors.

What do you guys suggest are important considerations? Also I guess I need to pick up two sets of twin sheets?

the tent is ordered and will be set up on thursday evening,if someone else ordered a tent come forward now or we get two tents.hope for good weather and safe trips,see you soon .

Been off line for a while with work....Is anyone taking a head count for dinner? If so, count me in for 2.

Funny you bring this up tonight Giff......I just sent Brewster a PM about prepaying for dinner and have talked to Harv on FB about the same thing.

Sure want to get my name in the hat for dinner

Count me in for 3 dinners.....My wife, my daughter and me.

thanks

hb

I'm sorry to say, but we are not going to make it to Greenport. We are about a week away from moving into a new house that was supposed to have been completed early last November. There is just too much going on to make the trip. I had hoped to meet you guys.

Ken

cmon ken you were one of the designated test drivers of phoenix we need you!!!

What can you guys tell me in terms of facilities. Shower & bathrooms? Clean and usable?

peter
showers and bathrooms very clean, and fairly new, excelent in my book

Ken,

If you're not coming, I'm gonna need your mailing address to send you your shirts, unless someone that is coming is close to you.

I am not coming to the event, but is it possible for non-attendees to send in some money and be included in any raffles?

Bob Fioresi mentioned the same idea to me yesterday

Just heard on the local radio station (WLNG for you East Enders) that today is Jeff Goubeaud's birthday. Be sure to wish him a happy belated when you see him this weekend.

The # for the locks is 631 852 8299. I would only go through when they are closed.

i hit it right last year slack high, had to lock thru on the way back

brewster, charlie how would i know what the earliest time i could go thru tommorow . i will be there at around 9am .going north.i can readjust later if i had to.

8:30 am closed thurs, 930am friday closed till 1pm thurs and 2pm fri.

Returned home late yesterday...

The Greenport Rendezvous was excellent and I had a great time, as I'm sure everyone else did. Greenport is, and will be, a hard venue to beat or even equal for future rendezvous'.

A big thanks goes to all participants for coming. I don't recall seeing a single frown the whole weekend. A special thanks to all the guys who labored tirelessly to make the event one to remember fondly.

A real special thanks to Harv Freidman, Bob Lico, and Tom Hart for their hospitality. Harv shuttled me from and to JFK, put me up for two nights and Tom and Bob allowed me to camp overnight on their boats. Thanks again Guys!
