Comments from participants

The Rendezvous was a smashing success! We had a fantastic time and met some new friends and reconnected with friends we had not seen in a while.

The boats in attendance looked like they could be placed right back in the showroom, absolutely stunning!!! The care and love is obvious.

Sincerely,
Dave & Linda DiSesa


Just wanted to say that it was a great event and I really had a great time and wish everyone could have made it.The number of people and boats was huge and everyone had a great time.
Thanks again to the staff that did all the work to make it a great event!! You did a "OUTSTANDING JOB".
Thanks, Bill



What a great event. Thanks to all those involved in putting this together. I had such a great time. Wish the weekend could have been longer. (Took us a
little over 10hours for the drive home, but was worth it for even such a short weekend).

Was great to see everyone again, and a pleasure to meet a lot of new folks. A lovely bunch of boats everyone one has. Your 'sweet-water' boats definitely making this 'salty' jealous.

I hope everyone else returned safely and missed as many detours as we did (9Hr. 15min. and home). What a wonderful weekend for touching boats. What a wonderful weekend for continuing friendships and making new ones, introducing friends from previous meets to new friends from this or intervening meets. What a wonderful weekend for having my second great ride on Hooz a Bum. Nothing like being on big water on the best Commander hull, that beautiful design of Dick Avery. Dick, we missed you give us a call via video at the next Rendezvous. (Dick, after you say hello let Maureen get in the picture. We love you but we really prefer to look at her.)
Tim and Matt thanks for the weekend.
Attendees, thanks for the success.

Patty & I have attended all 11 on the CCCC Annual Rendezvous's, and this one was the bell ringer, both in sheer number of boats and number of people. As usual, we met many old friends and made some new ones. As usual, we got a mess of new ideas for our boat. As usual, we saw lots of boats that were magnificent. As usual, we had some libations, some great food, and probably gained a couple of pounds. Wild horses couldn't keep us away !!

ood organizers think of everything (and manage to hide the things missed or less than perfect). :-) Congratulations Guys & Gal !! It looked perfect from my vantage point. Now let's finish the summer with fond memories and lot's of Commandeering !

Regards,
Dick Morland
