Madness has no limits!... I see this mental condition has invaded the CapeDorians of the Northeast fleet. We sailors from the Southeast can only follow via e-mail what promises to be a fun-filled, very crazy rendezvous and turn green with envy. We expect to see PLENTY of pictures of this epic gathering!

I have to admit that this is the first time I have actually caught myself trying to figure how long it would take me to get DeLaMer out to the coast..see, I have this 6 weeks of paid sabbatical starting Friday..and we were going to Canada..have the charts, CANPASS, and re-entry sticker..but jeesh, this sounds like a lot of fun too!

Well Captains, down a grog in my stead..I shall do the same in yours.

godspeed and have a great trip,

Captain Cecilia-Mendez,

Larry Demers just wrote and said he was thinking of leaving Lake Superior bound for Napatree via the St. Lawerance Seaway. We would love to have Bandolera II and crew at the randevous also. Larry does have six weeks to do it, so time isn't an issue, but it would be great to meet him and the Captain of Bandolera II also. So, if ya can, make sail!

Good point about pictures, I will post a note soon requiring all Captain's to have a camera on board, imagine what THAT will produce!!

Fair winds.....

Capt. Dave and all,

Well I posed this possible course correction to my co-captain and was nixed right away. She wants to relaxe and see the north shore of Superior, since we do have a video project up there to complete, which will pay big dividends once it is finsihed (if it ever does get done..2years already into it). So it does appear that we will have to think of the gathering Napatree flotilla at sundowner time, offering a traditional 'Skol'.

But I gotta say I am sorely tempted. What a neat trip it would be.

Cheers and Salut',

Hey guys, if you cannot sail your own boats to the rendezvous you can come by train, plane or automobile! We'll add you as crew aboard one of the other participating boats. Realization will be taking on 2 additional crew (one from NY and one from RI), and Heather Ann will also be taking on 2 (one from OK and one from GA). I'm sure we'll be able to find room for you too.

Catherine,

Just wondering, has Bruce been appointed the Official Fleet Photographer for this years randevous? Sounds like we really need another officer in the fleet!!

A friend of mine is coordinating the J24 Fleet 43 cruise in Casco Bay, Maine, in the rules for which he stipulates being governed by <a href=http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/33/385.html>US Code: Title 33, Chapter 7, Section 385</a>. In looking up the US Code, I thought it to be rather appropriate here! I can't make it down to join you southerners at Block Island, but I'm still hopeful I can work it in to partake in the 2001 Cruise to Maine.

US Code: Title 33, Chapter 7

Sec. 385. Seizure and condemnation of vessels fitted out for piracy

Any vessel built, purchased, fitted out in whole or in part, or held for the purpose of being employed in the commission of any piratical aggression, search, restraint, depredation, or seizure, or in the commission of any other act of piracy, as defined by the law of nations, shall be liable to be captured and brought into any port of the United States if found upon the high seas, or to be seized if found in any port or place within the United States, whether the same shall have actually sailed upon any piratical expedition or not, and whether any act of piracy shall have been committed or attempted upon or from such vessel or not; and any such vessel may be adjudged and condemned, if captured by a vessel authorized as mentioned in section 386 of this title to the use of the United States, and to that of the captors, and if seized by a collector, surveyor, or marshal, then to the use of the United States.

Sec. 386. Commissioning private vessels for seizure of piratical vessels

The President is authorized to instruct the commanders of the public-armed vessels of the United States, and to authorize the commanders of any other armed vessels sailing under the authority of any letters of marque and reprisal granted by Congress, or the commanders of any other suitable vessels, to subdue, seize, take, and, if on the high seas, to send into any port of the United States, any vessel or boat built, purchased, fitted out, or held as mentioned in section 385 of this title.

Captain Potts,

Ah, come on! Actually Hanalei is documented, and could be issued a letter of margue to go after the pirates! But, again, this is all in fun, and none of us are armed as far as I know. Any other Captains reading this, if you are armed, LEAVE YOUR GUNS AT HOME, PLEASE!

Dave, this is really fun. Sorry you won't be able to make it to Block Island, you and your humor will be missed!

Remember- you don't have to go the long way round.
What about the Erie canal?

The Hudson is beautiful - even if you have to watch out for the fish.

and pledge you, your crew, and your ship in helping the Americain colonists overthrowing this oppresive yoke of King George III.

[Nautical Traditions Offic]

There is a posting above that is an "Invitation to all Brave Seaman and Marines" that should put this silly thread to rest. BOTH American colonists AND those of us that read a lot about the British ARE invited. The invitation also includes Cape Dory POWER boats! No one is excluded and all ARE represented!

And Mark, you are correct, you do not have to be a Cape Dory owner to post on this board. Anyones' insight can at times be useful to the members. However, if you wish to attend the rondevous, it would be a good idea to register with Catherine or you will suffer her wrath!

What vessel do you sail exactly? A comparison might be interesting.

Nautical Traditions Officer

[Catherine Monaghan]

We have several photographers: Bruce Halley, Bill Slater and Michael Heintz. A couple others volunteered to be rendezvous photographers but they haven't registered so I don't know if they'll be there or not. But the three mentioned should be enough.
