Comment by Ann and Neville Clement on October 28, 2010 at 8:08am: We are traveling with a lovely Tiki 38 heading south and they will likely be at the meet with us. They are French Canadins but kindly speak fluent English with a delightful accent. Two teens on board and they are fine youngsters. Ann and Nev

Comment by Brandon Gamble on November 7, 2010 at 12:20am: Hi, I am considering attending. Element will be receiving some keel work so she won't be able to make it. I was wondering if there is camping available nearby or is anyone has a spare berth they'd like to share. I'd be willing to pay whatever the local camping rates are to stay aboard a boat if someone has room.

Comment by Robert Sheridan on November 14, 2010 at 2:30pm: Just looking in to whether we can make it across from the UK if I can get the time off work, is there accomodation nearby?

Comment by boatsmith on November 14, 2010 at 7:57pm: Robert, There are several hotel/motels nearby. It would be terrific to meet yall. David

Comment by Robert Sheridan on November 22, 2010 at 3:54pm: Got your email, thanks. Looking at flights and aiming to be there.

Comment by boatsmith on November 27, 2010 at 1:58pm: We've moved the Dec 10-12 2010 Winter Florida Wharram Rendezvous location to Sunset Bay Marina & Anchorage in Stuart, Florida.

This venue offers many improvements over the Lake Worth location.

Sunset Bay has very good access by boat and car, a dinghy dock, large mooring field, fuel dock, pump out, bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities, wi-fi access in the mooring field, boaters lounge with big screen TV, and restaurant. It is also just a few blocks walk to downtown Stuart where there is an abundance of shopping and entertainment activities. There is also RV parking available.

Sunset Bay is located just west of the Roosevelt Bridges in Stuart on the south side of the St Lucie River (Latitude 27.2 Longitude -80.2583)

Here's their website for additional information: http://www.sunsetbaymarinaandanchorage.com/

We're still planning a pot luck on the boats on Saturday night .
