Hi Patrick & Gail,

Keith and I are looking forward to the Desolation Cruise again this summer, count us in. Our plan is to come across the Strait to be with the group in Ganges.

See you in July if not before

Cheers

Hi Patrick and Gail,
We are not sure about our schedule this summer because we have family and friends coming for visits and we don't know when or how many. We will join the adventure to Desolation Sound if we can and, actually look forward to it. Nita and I appreciate all what you do for the Ranger tug group.
All the best,
Bob and Nita

We'll be there and hope Bob and Nita make it too.

We are looking forward to joining you all in our new 31 which will be ready sometime in July. It will be a sweet cruise I am sure as my partner is from Pender Harbour. We hope to join in the happy Tug Nuts Community as we inaugurate our new boat. See you at Salt Spring!

Hi Patrick an Gail,

We definitely plan on coming this year! We missed last year so this year is it.

Hi Patrick;
We've heard so many great things about the cruise and look forward to our first with the Tug Nuts this year and meeting so many of you!! Count us in.

This is looking very good for us first time Tugnuts. Past experience has taught us that there are always little kinks to get out of a new system. It looks like there will be a lot of previous experience and gathered knowledge to help us through this birthing. The areas we are going to are familiar but the vessel is delightfully new. Yahoo! This is our dream come true.

What a great response. I will be posting a list of boats for the trip and we are working on more things to do.

Stay tuned

Thanks pat

Nita and I are still in limbo about this cruise because of out of state and foreign (not Canada) visitors that have not yet given us their schedules. We are hoping that there will not be a conflict with this cruise because it is an unforgettable event. Patrick and Gail do a fantastic job in organizing it. The Mini Cruise is a warm up to the Desolation Sound and the Bremerton events.
All the best,
Bob and Nita

I'm hoping to draft Lee's R-31 on the way up to Salt from Edmonds etc -- would save on fuel use maybe! :lol: :lol: :lol:

If Lee's R-31 is launched at Edmonds Marina we (and I will for sure) should be there for the event with the right kind of beverage. 😀

Stout has grown four feet and our new 29 will be named Rocinante. No more Cirque du Soleil in the v-berth!!

So change our space needs please.

Great news about your Rocinante, quite a group of new boats for Desolation. Congratulations.

Ranger Jeff and family are looking forward to the Desolation Cruise aboard a Ranger R29.

Thank you Pat and Gail for all of your help putting this cruise together.

Hi Pat & Gail,

Please include the Circle T on the Desolation Sound cruise list.

We're also planning on the Bremerton Rendezvous.

We learned last year that this group is too much fun to miss out on. Thanks for your work in putting this together again!!

Wow! We are excited about this cruise, our first with our new boat! We did sign up for it at the Boat Show with Jeff. Please count us in.

We bought the 25 that Ranger Tugs was showing at the Seattle Boat Show and traded in our C-Dory, the "C-Gnome".

We did the orientation, factory tour and sea trial on Lake Washington today with Kenny Marrs. It was great despite the wind and rain! Kenny did a great job and we learned about the boat while having fun. He is bringing our new
R-25SC to Port Townsend, WA, on Friday and Captain Mac will do on the water training with us that day as well.

R-29 Moondance is going, too. We signed up at the Seattle Boat Show. There were almost 40 boats on the list at mid-week.

Do you have that list? It's possible there are folks on the list who aren't on Tugnuts.

Cheers
