Thank You Richard!
As I suspected, coming to the meet can only be a good thing! I appreciate your feedback and reply back.

Doc, You're definitely welcome, and would crazy to not attend if you're planning on building a boat. It's a pretty easy going bunch of guys, and everyone will be happy to answer any questions you may have prior to starting your build. Welcome to the forum, see you this weekend. Mike

Jeff and Reid, Looks like we can expect some wet weather, do you guys have enough easy up's for everyone to sit under in case we have some serious rain? I've got a 10'x10' if you want me to bring it down with me. We'll be bringing a home cooked Spinach Artichoke dip with toasted French bread for a side dish. Mike

Aloha Cape Man!
Thanks for the reply and the offer! I will!
I really am trying/going to finagle a way to get to this Builders meet and I have a feeling a lot of my questions will be answered regarding the build without me not even having to ask. With my experience level with building and my interest in this OD18 project, I may fit right in! Also, its uncanny and coincidental the meet is going on just as I am in Florida for a bit, and just as I was just about to inquire more into the plans, materials etc for the OD18.
Sincerely,...
"Doc"
Everyone on this forum is so friendly and helpful!

Jeff what time are you going to be there to check in ? I thought you said around 5 pm . If so so i guess i'll be the guy stumbling
around the parking lot with a beer in my hand until you show up :wink: I should be there early in the afternoon.

Good question Doc, I was wondering about what the general plan for meeting/looking at the other boats would be if just coming on for the day. It sounds like River Palms is the general meeting place and people will be filtering in and out all day. I'm really looking forward to seeing all of the other boats I've become so familiar with through the forum.
