Thursday night EBS at LEFTY & CARTER'S

[Concordia...41]

OK folks, the virtual pub is going live (and live it is... :eek:).

Lefty & Carter's - Thursday June 26th -
Whenever to Whenever

And since SOMEONE sent out invitations saying I request your presence at the EBS :D, I guess I need to find out how many folks we (read THEY) can expect. :rolleyes:

I'll be there and I'll be bringing St. Augustine shrimp :)

Carter - has Sir Richard RSVP'd yet??? I need to factor that in to what I'm planning to wear ;)

Who else?

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Jo and I will be there.

[Mrleft8]

Ummmmmm Margo..... You're the only one that got a written invitation in the mail yanno.... ;) (But a head count would be helpful, and appreciated! )

[bamamick]

(my hand is raised)

Mickey Lake

[Lew Barrett]

Present, with spouse.

[Paul Pless]

Damn me, but I must send send regrets for the Thursday night EBS.
Hate that we're gonna miss your hospitality Lefty and Carter.

[Mrleft8]

Slacker!

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

I'll be there, just managed to snag a room at the Madison Beach Hotel for the night. Can we get directions again? Or at least GPS coordinates? Even though I've been there, I doubt I could find it.

Paul, say it isn't so.

[Concordia 33]

Count us in. :D

Sharon and Paul

[NoraLee]

I will be there virtually in spirit only, but will vicariously enjoy the likes of all of your detailed posts of the event. I have come out of hibernation, but not yet ready to travel. I have spent the last couple of years, offline and then lurking wondering if I dare dive back in these waters. It has gotten a bit contentious, I long for a more peaceful time.

The docs have sworn me off alcohol libations, so I have been existing on just tonic and lime as my "see thrus!"

Raise your glasses high and remember all of us who wish could be there!

Joe bring your laptop, (I know you are lurking about) so that those who know how can be there via video cam! Tabitha make sure he packs it!

For those that don't remember, I am the one who introduced Joe to Dove!

Sitting here in NE,NC jealous a heck, that I will not be with you all in Mystic!

Like Dingo, maybe next year!:confused:

Regards,

Nora Lee

[joeha]

Welcome back Nora! Thank you and Joe (CSOH) for "The Dove Saga"

Now back to lurking.

Joe

PS. Now that "Dove" has imigrated north of the border, how about a update with pictures?

[Spin_Drift]

We'll be there is spirit. :p Please raise a toast to us... or maybe three... (like anyone needed a reason to have another drink:eek:) We'll shoot for next year to be physically present.

Looking forward to seeing pictures and videos...:):D

Spinner, Kalevala & Cass

.

[Vince Brennan]

Two more reprobates, altho we'll come late and leave early.

Anyone who may need transport from Mystic to Guilford and back (observing the above caveats), let me know via PM for run times.... space for two.

[elf]

Count me in.,

[Mrleft8]

I think we're gonna need a bigger yard...... ;)

[S/V Laura Ellen]

I think we're gonna need a bigger yard...... ;)

And Margo hasn't even begun to had out invitations to complete strangers yet!!

[Mrleft8]

This is what scares me.....:D

[Russ Manheimer]

Count us in. And salad if need be.

And Joe, I'll remember my oyster knife this time.

Thanks Doug and Carter and Margo. What a team.

Russ and Julia

[Hughman]

is there still room under the band saw?

[Tabitha ( Gaff rig girl )]

I'm not certain if Joe and I will make it to the PARTY, but we'll be there on Friday/Saturday at some point. We'll be in touch :D:D

[Mrleft8]

is there still room under the band saw?You got it...


I'm not certain if Joe and I will make it to the PARTY, but we'll be there on Friday/Saturday at some point. We'll be in touch :D:D
Slackers! What? You don't want to sit on the front porch until 5 in the morning discussing the direction your relationship is going? :D ;)

[Tabitha ( Gaff rig girl )]

You got it...


Slackers! What? You don't want to sit on the front porch until 5 in the morning discussing the direction your relationship is going? :D ;)

Naaaa....we're past that now :rolleyes:

Joey does get a lil mushy at times :D

[shark_ef]

is anyone coming from or around mystic that i might be able to hop a lift w? i'd appreciate it (guilford is kinda far to bike)
-being new to this EBS thing (if i can get there): bring food n drinks or munchies etc? what is the SOP?
cheers

[Mrleft8]

Well Sharky........ The way this whole thing started out was that I was gonna make dinner for Phillip Allen, who is going to be (Poor bastad) staying aboard Airlie. So in theory, Jaime and Phillip will be coming from Mystic. On the other hand, no one's heard from Jaime in about a month so he may have forgotten all this and sailed off to points unknown. I think Mickey Lake has room in his truck, and I'm sure that at least 7 other people that I've never met that Margo has given invitations and directions to are coming.....;) I think R.I. Singer is coming.....Hugh Lane has indicated that he's coming.... You could always take the train to Guilford, and we could pick you up if needed..... Getting back won't be an issue.....
Give us a call and we'll fill you in on details.

[elf]

Somebody tell me what to bring, please?

[bamamick]

I will have room in the giant truck for three people besides myself, and I will need a navigator so of course Shark is welcome. Hopefully we can caravan because quite honestly road signs in yankee are almost always too confusing for me to read.

Mickey Lake

[Mrleft8]

Mickey Lake Yeah..... We do write using words with three, and sometimes even FOUR syllables....:D

[Concordia...41]

Now Lefty you know there were no road signs mentioned in your directions...

It was like go past the fire station and go up a hill and there will be a road on the left ....

[Mrleft8]

Now Lefty you know there were no road signs mentioned in your directions...

It was like go past the fire station and go up a hill and there will be a road on the left ....
That's coming from Hartford.... It's easier coming from Mystic! ;) And You do have to take a left after the fire station BEFORE you go up the hill.....Maybe THAT's where you got all twisted around and lost....:D

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

Speaking of directions, can someone please post the link to that discussion, or PM me? I've been there once, but can't remember how I got there :-) Thanks!

[Concordia 33]

Thanks so much for including strangers in your plans. Paul and I will have to send our regrets after all but hope to meet many of you at the show on Friday.

Sharon:D

[Mrleft8]

WHAT!!!???? You guys were bringing the champagne and Clamato!!!! You can't ditch now! :D

Gotta love directions in the NE!

"Well...ya drive to the painted white fence, then hang a left. Once past the purple house with the polka dot cows, look for Miller's Pond...."

[Mrleft8]

.... Used to be Miller's pond, but it got bought out by that noo yawk couple back in the 60's.... And the purple house was green last year..... Not sure what color it is now, but yup.....just turn there....

[Concordia...41]

.... Used to be Miller's pond, but it got bought out by that noo yawk couple back in the 60's.... And the purple house was green last year..... Not sure what color it is now, but yup.....just turn there....

He is NOT kidding :eek:

[Nanoose]

I know!! :D

[C. Ross]

You got room for one more?

[bamamick]

....and usually verbal directions don't work either. 'waall, ya tun heah' doesn't correlate with my deep fried brain most of the time. :)

Mickey Lake

[Mrleft8]

You got room for one more? Sure.....Just make sure you leave that weather back home.....We don't need any of that...

[sv Lorelei]

We'll stick our heads in the door. Send directions! Let us know if we can bring anything!

[Nanoose]

I've heard George Roberts is planning on stopping in...

[Paul Girouard]

[R.I.Singer30]

How many stuffies ?

[Mrleft8]

How many stuffies ?Looks like about the same number of people as last year Dan....

[David Tabor (sailordave)]

Well, I will be slowly working my way DOWN to Mystic; we don't get in to town until FRIDAY. Damn.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

How many stuffies ?


Looks like about the same number of people as last year Dan....


They were great last year!:)

[Concordia...41]

Yeah. :) I'm thinking same good food, same good folks, plus some new folks = a really really good time!

- M

Note to self: see about shrimp... :eek:

[S.V. Airlie]

umm.. I'll be there.. I'll bring five pounds of bacon..

[Mrleft8]

umm.. I'll be there.. I'll bring five pounds of bacon..
We were beginning to think you'd skipped town w/o telling anyone..... Where you been hiding Bacon boy? ;)

[Vince Brennan]

Minor problem for me.

SWMBO decided we'd come up a day early (I don't get a vote here) so that she can visit with knucklehead before he ships out to Afghanistan. This is usually just fine, but the Kid is not gonna be available until Thursday, which means I either won't be able to make the paahh-tay OR I'll need a ride from and to Groton so she has the vehicle.

Always something else at the last minnit, innit?

Since I already asked Carter & Lefty to send the hats, that's taken care of, but I'd hate to miss the EBS.

So: Anyone going my way?

[elf]

You better go to that, Vince. It's your kid, no? But if you really don't think you need to be there I can chauffeur you. I'll be getting to Mystic to set up on Thursday and staying there for the weekend unless I camp at Lefty and Carter's Thurs. night.

[Concordia...41]

I'm being told Groton is close to Mystic. I'll be happy to pick you up. :)

Now getting you back from the Netherlands....

[Mrleft8]

Bring him along Vince. He can't eat that much...... Russ and Julia bring enough salad to feed Ethiopia for a week.... :D
Edited to add: HOLD ON! "NETHERLANDS"?!!!!! Excuse me Miss GPS superior! Who heard "banjo music" while we were lumber shopping? MMMMMHMMMM! That's what I THOUGHT you'd say..... Still got the picture of you feeding me to the natives as they were boiling a big ol' stew pot? MMMMMHMMMMM!....:D

[Russ Manheimer]

Just for a day, Doug. We'll shoot for 30 seconds this time.

Time for an anti-rain dance?

[R.I.Singer30]

Speaking of directions, can someone please post the link to that discussion, or PM me? I've been there once, but can't remember how I got there :-) Thanks!

...or how I left...


ditto here. Millers pond doesn't look the same since the barn came down.My ETA is 7 ish.

[Mrleft8]

Ladies and gentlemen! (and Joe) We have TATTOOS! (Thanx Scott! :D )

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

I got the address of Chez Noyes out of the Name and Addresses thread (from one of Margo's posts hehehe), and Google-Mapped it.

[halflin]

Can I send you all my apologies for absence, Can't make the trip over the pond this year (working). But hope you all have a wonderful time over the weekend. Will catch all your photos on the forum.

[jack grebe]

Is the keg tapped yet?

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

So let's have a roll call. Russ, Julia, me & Tidbits traveler are on exit 30 on rt. 95

[Nanoose]

I'm in my bathrobe sitting at the computer...

[Mrleft8]

Kasey and Kyle and Sister just left here on their way to Mystic.
Joe Are you and Russ And Julia stopping here first or are you doubling back?

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Kasey and Kyle and Sister just left here on their way to Mystic.
Joe Are you and Russ And Julia stopping here first or are you doubling back?

We are in Mystic now so I will be doubling back with Russ & Julia

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Jo and I are here (at the Whalers).

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

I'm sitting on a porch overlooking LIS and Madison Beach. Will head out in about an hour.

[David Tabor (sailordave)]

I survived Chez Noye:cool:.... Redhead and I met up w/ a bunch at the Whaler and then headed down to Lefty's. Mucho Tasty Food! Beverages to imbibe and LOTS of nice WB nuts. So just to be the first...THANK YOU Dougy and Carter! :)

Pics to follow when I'm not so tired. Of course by then there will be Iphone pics from Joe and Margo. And more from everyone else.
I'm not even going to try to name everyone there b/c I'll forget someone and then feel bad. Suffice to say there were lot of people and a good time was had by all.

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

YouTube videos are being made as we speak ;)

[Russ Manheimer]

[jack grebe]

She must be the one taking the ( one and ONLY one ) photo MMike:D

[Lew Barrett]

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff76/LewBarrett/IMG_0183_1.jpg

Some of the photographers got quite sideways at this terrific, lavish and sumptuous bash!
Carter and Lefty put themselves out big time, with bags of oysters, clams, potables....cigars..... and some of the best pulled pork, ribs and steaks you could ever wish for. Delish. And ample booze to make you never want to hear the word R-U-M again, or at least for a day! Then we were forced to eat oozing, molten cakes and rich desserts. I will never eat again!

[Mrleft8]

Paris is there.....Right behind Lew Barret.... Can't you see her? :D
Thank you all! It was a blast! :D

[sv Lorelei]

Yes! Let me reiterate how wonderful it was to finally put some faces to names. Many thanks to Doug and Carter for hosting this wonderful opportunity.

[C. Ross]

Oh the humanity...
Thanks to Doug and Carter for hosting. Great to meet invisible friends in the real world.

[Nanoose]

That can't be the picture. Joe's not innit...

[Phil Heffernan]

I'm-a comin'!

Leaving early on Saturday to see my imaginary friends at the Show.

Sorry to have missed the EBS at Lefty's and Airlie's, hope y'all have some party spirit left over for Saturday Night!!!

PH

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Hey buddy heading over to Arlie in a few had to stop back at Lefty's to get the repaired traveler ;)

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

Doug and Carter, thanks for being such terrific hosts once again! We sure had a lot of fun singing along to all the old songs.

If you happen to step on a pair of glasses on your lawn or deck, they were probably mine. No biggy, just drugstore reading glasses. It was pretty funny, though, trying to download photos from the party to the computer, then resize them, then FTP them up to the website, then post them here, all while squinting through my little credit card sized OWL magnifier/lite.

Hope Carter wasn't suffering too much the day after.

Thanks for the great food and company.

[Mrleft8]

No glasses yet Michael..... Tell ya what.....I'll mow the lawn tomorrow before I go to my stupid sister's stupid wedding.....I oughtta find 'em that way! ;)
Once again.....Thank you all for a wonderful evening! (And actually Carter was managing quite nicely this morning..... She's down for the count now though! :D )

[Nanoose]

...my stupid sister's stupid wedding......

hehehehehehehe :D :D :D

ok...someone's gotta make that into a plaque, or song, or haiku, or somethin...

[snow(Alan H)]

I thought it was a boat show not a food show . Some photos of a few boat would be nice :confused:

[Concordia...41]

Hi All! Just posting from the Whaler's Inn - waiting for the rest of the world to wake up :D It may be a bit as Joe, Steven, et al called about 10 pm (I think) looking for the party... :eek:

Thursday night at Lefty and Carters was amazing! Thanks again all!

And last night on Airlie was a treat! All my pictures are still on my camera, but good memories in my head!

Snow - look for the Boat Show thread. There will be plenty of pictures there!

So.... anyones' head clear enough to fill in th blanks on some names in, say, post 73? I can pick out maybe half of 'em; who's the rest?

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/2615139224_102ca57431_b.jpg


Don't know them all, but here goes...

Backrow, left to right, Lefty, Hugh(man), Bamamick, in front of him is Kelly - new member Kasey's older sister, C.Ross (the tall one), Shark_ef in front of him in black, and in front of her is Vince with the lights on, on his Pub hat.

Not sure of the next woman, but the man in blue is Lew, then Julia and Russ, then Kasey (standing in red), Dan L (R.I.Singer) and his date (seated in red).

Seated on the top step left to right, Nancy(?) Bauer, Carter, Margo and Steven Bauer (with his two daughters in front of him), and I'm in the dark shirt with the camera up to my eye.

Seated on the bottom step, right to left Dave Tabor and wife(?)

[C. Ross]

You're better at names than me, Michael.

It's Mary Bauer (what a terrific family) and the woman next to Lew is Lindy Barrett.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

I'm hiding behind Lew.:D

[Paul Girouard]

and in front of her is Vince with the lights on, on his Pub hat.

I think that's Phillip Allen the brickie / southern crab bait candidate.

Not sure of the next woman,

Thats Lindy Lew's better half. ;)



but the man in blue is Lew, then Julia and Russ, then Kasey (standing in red), Dan L (R.I.Singer) and his date (seated in red).

Seated on the top step left to right, Nancy(?)

It's Mary I think , Steven wife yes.

Bauer, Carter, Margo and Steven Bauer (with his two daughters in front of him),


Holly one of the names I think.


and I'm in the dark shirt with the camera up to my eye.

You could be right I never saw the guy :D

Seated on the bottom step, right to left Dave Tabor and wife(?)



Must be a girl / lady friend Sailor Dave's not hitched , or so he sez!

There's a arm or leg sticking out the camera person might know who those belong to , No feet so Vancouver Island must still have just the same 5 "extra" feet laying about :D

Who's the camera person Joe? Or was that the shot Paris Hilton took :confused: :D

[Paul Girouard]

I'm hiding behind Lew.:D



Thats pretty easy to do , getting a word in edge wise is a bit harder:D

[shark_ef]

hey all, much enjoyed! and meeting all of you was a trip (the good kind)

[BrianW]

Thanks for the pictures and the names. I'm starting to recognize quite a few of them now, although Lew and Lindy are the only ones we've met personally.

[Lew Barrett]

I think it's remarkable how small some people can look when they stand near me!:D

[Paul Girouard]

Hey Lew who was the guy with the light on his hat? Is it Vince or Phillip? I didn't think Vince was going is why I ask , I was guessing about who that was / is for sure.

[Hwyl]

.

Steven Bauer (with his two daughters in front of him),

Holly and Celi(a)

[Hwyl]

Just got home (long day trip). I'll post some pictures in the morning.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Hey Lew who was the guy with the light on his hat? Is it Vince or Phillip? I didn't think Vince was going is why I ask , I was guessing about who that was / is for sure.

The guy with the lights on his hat is Vince.

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

That was definitely Vince. You can see all the fancy-work on his walking stick if you look real closely. Philip did attend, but not sure if he was there yet.

The dark shirt attached to the elbow in the back does look like the one Joe was wearing, but, I believe it was Joe who took this shot, so, not sure.

I kept going back and forth on Mrs. Bauer... Nancy or Mary, Mary or Nancy... 50/50 shot and got it wrong! She has a great singing voice.

Thanks for filling in all the other blanks...

[Paul Girouard]

Maybe Phillip is in that crab pot soaking :eek: :D

Thanks for the replies :cool:

[Hwyl]

Here's Philip

Lefty! Get a strap! ;)


and an amp

[Nanoose]

His right hand technique was messin with my mind, then I realized why! :eek:

[Mrleft8]

C'mon! It's only got two strings! (One more than the one man band that Joe's playing!) I don't need an amp OR a strap! :D

[Nanoose]

OK...so get a strap, and an amp, AND 2 strings! :p

Seriously, I think a good time was had by ALL. We cut the evening a little short ;) but the food, drink and most of all, the companionship was wonderful. Thank you Doug and Carter for putting up w/ all of us!:)

[Nanoose]

Ah, Dave...I think it was lefty's stupid sister's stupid wedding...

[Sue H.]

Yet another fabulous soiree at Doug & Carter's. :p

Great pictures, and everyone is looking good! Sorry we couldn't make it, but the pictures are the next best thing to being there. Keep those pictures coming.......

[Mrleft8]

Looks like that picture of Carter was taken at half past Nod! :D Poor thing was working in Boston for a week, then Nairobi, Kenya for 3 days (that doesn't include 3 days in the air to get there and back) and then another 3 days in Boston before getting home at 12 Midnight the night before the EBS, and getting up at 6AM to help me prep for the whole thing..... No wonder she was a whipped puppy by 10:00....

[shark_ef]

oooo hey! that's my silver earring and shoulder next to jamie!

[Mrleft8]

Your earring matches the glint in Jaime's glasses! :D

[Nanoose]

What I wanna know is how Margo would ever let herself be photographed with a HUNTER mug in her hand! :eek: ;)

[S/V Laura Ellen]

What I wanna know is how Margo would ever let herself be photographed with a HUNTER mug in her hand! :eek: ;)

Its her mug, she has a very good connection with Hunter yachts.
She has also been known to crew on a big red Hunter 50.

[shark_ef]

i had a great timme driving back w jamie and phillip, we had a really interesting conversationt hat flowed over the course of the drive, it was fun

[Concordia...41]

What I wanna know is how Margo would ever let herself be photographed with a HUNTER mug in her hand!

Yep. Guilty as charged. ;)

1. It is my favorite cup (actually quite good as it is insulated and has non-skid on the bottom :D) and

2. I figured I'd be the ONLY one at the WBS with a Hunter cup :p

And yes, Hunter Marine has been very very good to me (and SARAH.) They've been a client of my company (St. Augustine Boatworks) since 1997 and the decade+ relationship has blossomed into crewing opportunities on everything from a 1974 25' Hunter (one of their first boats) to brand new 49's and the HC50. There's also a 216 in the current stable and we took 1st place in the last Wednesday night series with it.

At this point, probably 80% of my sailing experience has come from crewing on Hunter boats in various regattas and on boat show deliveries.

Hunter's help / connections / introductions / business relationships / etc. were a large part of getting SARAH's engine and her launched last October. In the last couple of weeks, those connections helped with her instruments and standing rigging, and a new mainsail was ordered yesterday. :)

They might make FRP boats, but they're regular guys and gals just like us, and several of them have a soft spot for a particular Concordia. ;)

An excellent reason to return for Lefty's WBS EBS #3.

Not from what I've heard from a very reliable unnamed source. But if you want to continue to believe it you have less than 1 year before someone points out your error.:D

I'm thinkin' that Floater might be..... Dutch! :D

It is a bit odd that 99.7% of Floater's posts seem to be made while sitting on a stool in the Pub ;)

Wellll.... Since you offered .....

Why don't I go ahead and reserve both Friday and Saturday nights :p

Saturday would be my first choice, but if their special dinner speaker hoochy coo dinner deally bop is something really good like ... for instance ... Wooden Boats and the Red Heads that Love Them :) then I (I mean we :o) could have the Lefty and Carter EBS on Friday.

If Saturday's WBS dinner is something like "How to Make a Wooden Ferry Boat Out of Your Neighbor's Fence Posts" we can go with Saturday for the EBS :D

More importantly, it depends on when Carter is getting back from Kenya :D

[Mrleft8]

Carter's not going to Kenya..... Unfortunately..... :(
