Rick, Great to hear from you. To be honest, the response has been very underwhelming. I think February may be too soon and am now considering early March.
Any thoughts? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? All the best, Edd Edd M.

Listers, Thank you for the survey results — and based on them, I am considering the following, and would appreciate any input you may have before I start solidifying: The dates I’m leaning towards are February 7-9 and the best possible location would be at Marina Jack’s in the middle of downtown Sarasota. Marina Jack has a restaurant on site, plenty of deep-water slips (with floating docks), a wealth of marine services, a meeting space, onsite restaurant and more. It’s also right at the foot of famous downtown Sarasota, a fabulous walking area filled with shops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants, a comedy club, an opera house, and so much more. There are also hotels nearby, and I’m confident I can obtain for us a lower group rate at the Hyatt Regency just a few blocks from the marina. And, this is all a ten-minute cab ride from the SRQ airport, for those who would want to fly in. I’m thinking arrivals on Friday, followed by a group pot-luck dinner on Friday night. On Saturday, we can do a C&C boat show, possibly have Stu or someone come in for a seminar/talk, have a group dinner at a local restaurant (or bus everyone to my club), followed by a pub crawl. Then departures on Sunday. The average daytime high for that time of year will be in the low 70s (insert my new catch phrase here) with overnight lows in the mid 50s. I think we’d get at least five-six (or more) C&Cs to attend, including the Enterprise. I now welcome your thoughts (even Risch’s) as to timing, if you’d consider attending (by boat or by land), and what it would take to make it a must-see C&C Rendezvous. All the best, Edd Edd M.
