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

http://www.greenportvillage.com/calendar.html

They list the rendezvous as a village event!

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.

Bertramp · Post by **Bertramp** » May 4th, '11, 15:05

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:

516-810-0959
bertramp1@aol.com

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

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.

tjhartsr · Post by **tjhartsr** » Jun 6th, '11, 18:23

In Memory Walter K · Post by **In Memory Walter K** » Jun 6th, '11, 20:17

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

Harv · Post by **Harv** » Jun 7th, '11, 07:11

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.

tjhartsr · Post by **tjhartsr** » Jun 13th, '11, 16:47

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.

In Memory Walter K · Post by **In Memory Walter K** » Jun 13th, '11, 16:59

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.

bob lico · Post by **bob lico** » Jun 23rd, '11, 15:49

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

Marlin · Post by **Marlin** » Jun 30th, '11, 20:20

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

In Memory Walter K · Post by **In Memory Walter K** » Jun 30th, '11, 20:33

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

Marlin · Post by **Marlin** » Jul 8th, '11, 05:52

tjhartsr · Post by **tjhartsr** » Jul 10th, '11, 11:09

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

Bertramp · Post by **Bertramp** » Jul 10th, '11, 20:51

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.

Wursty · Post by **Wursty** » Jul 11th, '11, 07:57

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.

Harv · Post by **Harv** » Jul 11th, '11, 22:04

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.

Bertramp · Post by **Bertramp** » Jul 12th, '11, 07:28

Has anyone addressed tent, tables and chairs ?

tjhartsr · Post by **tjhartsr** » Jul 14th, '11, 10:39

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

PeterPalmieri · Post by **PeterPalmieri** » Jul 14th, '11, 11:17

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?

tjhartsr · Post by **tjhartsr** » Jul 18th, '11, 14:21

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 .

gplume · Post by **gplume** » Jul 19th, '11, 21:13

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

Harry Babb · Post by **Harry Babb** » Jul 19th, '11, 21:43

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

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

bob lico · Post by **bob lico** » Jul 26th, '11, 15:25

PeterPalmieri · Post by **PeterPalmieri** » Jul 28th, '11, 11:16

Charlie J · Post by **Charlie J** » Jul 28th, '11, 13:13

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.

IRGuy · Post by **IRGuy** » Jul 30th, '11, 14:36

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.

Brewster Minton · Post by **Brewster Minton** » Aug 3rd, '11, 15:08

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!

Best regards,
