Ahoy,

The cruise/rendezvous has finally come together.  We have gotten notes from about 8 - 10 boaters so far who plan to join us either for the entire 10 days or for several days along the way.  It should be great fun and good cruising.  We have had to make some changes and a new schedule. *Please note:*  Deer Harbor was not available so we substituted Reid Harbor on Stuart Island.  We hope some boaters might get in early that day (those not going through Deception Pass) and get one of the floats so we can raft up together.  From there we will go into Sidney, BC to clear customs and shopping, since there are a number of items you can't take across the border.  We will send a link (or list) later.  Then we will head on up to Montague Harbour where we are planning for everyone to anchor and maybe do a circle raft-up!  Then on to Telegraph Harbour and finally Genoa Bay before making our way either back home or on to other destinations.  Bill and I will be heading home!

We have tentative reservations with 4 marinas, but need to get back to them right away with a firm count.  This will not obligate you, but will guarantee us enough slips.  Later on, you will need to make your own confirmed reservations with a credit card saying you are part of the LNVT group.  We will send the information you need for that later.  Right now, even if you replied earlier, we need you to respond back and let us know where you will join us on the trip (as you believe now or hope to join up). You can also add your name on the rendezvous list.

Will you be planning to join us at:

* Langley Marina - July 9 & 10*
* Port of Sidney Marina (BC) - July 13*
* Telegraph Harbour Marina - July 15 & 16*
* Genoa Bay Marina - July 17*

Please let us know about the 4 marinas above as soon as possible so that we can get our confirmed reservations.  Thanks, Macy and Bill

PS.  This message has gone out to the entire NW tug group.  As we get our list together of those participating, we will just be mailing to them.
