I think I still have my CWBB pennant from the old days. I think there was more of a feeling of 'community' back then - I recall numerous local gatherings of CWBB members. Bernie invited us all to a gathering at the Annapolis Boat Show, promising us 1/3 shrimp each! Someone requested a whole shrimp, and it turned out bernie meant 1/3 LB!
Neil & Stacey were heading off for the Caribbean with a nylon rode, which scared me. I let my feelings be known on this board and personally bought them 250' of chain - and requested donations from other CWBB members. The donations covered my cost of the chain plus a fine dinner for the whole crew when they stopped in New London.
I hope this BB and all its members have a better year in 2012 than in 2011!
