The "Get Carl, Matt, Scot, Tom, Maynard, McMullen, et al to the 2017 Hobart WB Festival" Thread

G'day Carl. Were you thinking Aus or the US? or maybe europe, France might be a place to get the numbers.

[Carl Cramer]

Ah, we'll do it in two years, in Hobart.

[Duncan Gibbs]

Goody! Maybe I'll have Looe finished by then!

[skuthorp]

Garn, you'll be too busy catching breaks.................

[Tom Jackson]

Hey, all—
I'll be arriving in Hobart on Tuesday evening. I'll be around the festival and also the symposium. Hope to see some familiar faces there!

Good oh Tom! There's no Yacht club dinner Friday but we will organise something. I'm there Friday 8 am, I'll PM my cell phone number just in case. Be very glad to see you again.

I had a horrendous flight, Jeff—weather delay in Seattle for 24 hours, followed by mechanical problems and another 24 delay in San Francisco. Left Sunday afternoon from Seattle, and got to Hobart on Thursday afternoon (local). Met some nice people, though!

I'm hoping to make it to the New Sydney for the Irish session Saturday night.

For everyone—I have been putting up photo albums on Facebook, which Pat Lown has been sharing over to the WoodenBoat Faceboook site.

[Duncan Gibbs]

I'm not jealous!

Work has got in the way of me getting down there this time, but it's good work and I'm going to really make sure I have all my ducks lined up for the next. Sounds like you've become a regular attendee and participant Tom! And bummer on the delays. Maybe next time go on the pre-festival raid from Recherche Bay.

[Phil Y]

I think we should have a Get Duncan to the 2019 Wooden Boat Festival thread.

[Duncan Gibbs]

Do it Phil! Do it!

[Phil Y]

How's that Dragon coming along Duncan?

[Duncan Gibbs]

I had actually planned on starting up on her again Phil, and had a bunch of Hoop Pine resawn, jointed and thicknessed so I can replace the beam shelves either side by way of the cockpit, but then work has gotten to such a point that I really needed to start the conversion of the site office (donga) into my proper office and get my workplace out of the little hole in the wall it's in right now. And now my back hurts!

But I'm hoping to get back onto the resto' before Christmas.

I can't understand why Anne's name is relegated to the et al group. She's pretty fun to be around at a boatshow. Just 'cause she's the juniorest Editor at WoodenBoat.

[skuthorp]

Maybe a charter plane could bring the whole WB crew, and pick up Duncan in Sydney on the way?

You're an et al too Steven! McMullet doesn't wanna come because there's boats with engines present at the festival, so I should merove his name altogether.
