THANKS FOR ROCHE HARBOR RENDEZVOUS

[Lobo]

Wow, what a gathering. I didn't get a count but there had to be 3,500 feet of Rangers and Cutwaters in beautiful Roche Harbor. Many thanks to Bruce, the Ranger and Cutwater team -- including their wonderful leadership people -- and the sponsors who were there. Although my older R25 didn't need any work done I heard some really happy stories from relatively new owners who were impressed with the assistance they got for the vessels from both sponsors and Ranger team. The Friday and Saturday night dinners were EXCELLENT!! Well worth participating if only for the food.

It was a nice time, in a nice spot, with a lot of nice people. Looking and hoping for next year in Roche Harbor.

Robyn and I add our thanks and "a job well done" to the organizers, contributors and other boaters who were a part of the Roche Harbor Rendezvous 2014. We were just talking about the numbers of boats and people who were in attendance, but never seemed to be in each others' way. It's always good to see friends, make new acquaintances and develop friendships around common interests. We are already looking forward to next year's rendezvous.

I'll add my voice to this. I'm still a pre-tug-owner, needing to get my sailboat sold first, but I was fortunate to be able to attend as a guest on a friend's R-27 based in Friday Harbor.

The big take-aways for me were mingling with the friendly and interesting tugnuts community, as well as seeing first-hand how much customers love the company. The quality of tech-support and overall responsiveness can make or break a manufacturer, and from many conversations at Roche Harbor I can see that they are doing it right. Five stars.

Looking forward to joining the club very soon...

A BIG THANK YOU to Bruce and Vicki for all their work in getting this rendezvous together. A BIG THANK you to Jeff, Andrew, Kenny, Richard and the rest of the Ranger/Cutwater crew for all the details of this great event. YOU all make us proud to be Ranger Tug owners. As part of the Auxiliary we want to thank you for having us participate. We were able to do 20 free vessel safety checks. Two of the boats initially failed..flares and fire extinguisher out of charge, but both corrected the problem and got their decals. Both the factory and owners are very safety aware. KUDOS.

BRAVO ZULU to you all.

I certainly echo the sentiments of the previous posters! The venue was great, the food was delicious, and everyone was super-friendly. However, the factory support folks, office staff and vendors put the event over the top! Thank you to everyone who was involved in putting on another great event (Bruce and Vicky, I am looking at you, ha ha)

Looking forward to next year.....

Ditto from Amy and Paul. Huge thanks to Bruce, Vicki, the Ranger crew and everyone else who pitched in to make this a terrific gathering! Great to turn the Guest Dock into the Tugwater Dock, mingle and catch up with folks, and learn tips and tricks to make Sweet Pea even sweeter. The dinghy race was a hoot and the new 29 is awesome.

A special shout-out to Red and Ann on Honey Badger for their assist on our way home when we had to stop off Jones Island to drain a bit of water from our fuel filter. We so appreciated their help and will pay their true mariner spirit forward at our next chance 😎
