Can't make it this year. Using up my island time cat sitting rather than cat fighting at CRC for August and September. Nasty job but somebody gotta do it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

We will most likely just have arrived in Florida and I will have started (hopefully!) a new job -- if I can get down solo for a few days and help crew with anyone, that's my best bet! Brian will likely not be able to get away from work at that time.

We missed the last two years but plan to be back for this one. Boat TBD, bringing our daughter and her guy. I know we can show them a good time. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Won't make it this year. There's a music festival on the same weekend every year, and I've always wanted to go. This year we're mixing it up and doing the festival instead of Cat Fight.

Have fun y'all!

Hey Chris! She came with us on our first trip in 2005. This will be her first trip as an adult, and it will be the first trip for her significant other (and he loves sailing). We missed one year due to some health issues and last year because of my work schedule. Really excited to get back down there and see everyone again. Now I just have to book flights and a boat, might have to find a fast one smile

After talking to some BVI friends and reviewing finances, my mom and I decided that we really can't miss this. We have just decided that we want to go to the Cat Fight and be there for the dedication of Dawg Rock and the ceremony and also we thought it would be the most appropriate time to spread his ashes; at his favorite place in his most favorite sailing event of the year. We thought it would be the perfect time because all of you will be there celebrating the Cat Fight and his memory.

We will only be able to come for around 5 days because I am still in school, but we need to make arrangements for the trip. Ideally we would like to be on a boat for a couple nights if possible, but if not then we would at least want to be on a boat for the race and ceremony and to spread the ashes.

If anyone is willing to host my mom and I for either just the race or the race and a night or two, please let us know. We are absolutely willing to chip in for charter costs. We completely understand that everyone has their crew pretty much full and we understand that everyone has set plans or a schedule and that nobody wants extra weight. Should we be allowed on a boat for the race, I will absolutely pull lines or do whatever is asked of me. If anything I can fetch you beers and make cocktails (just turned 22).

If anyone has any suggestions for us or is willing to host us, please let me know. If you would like to contact me more directly I will leave my phone number and email. We could also use suggestions for where to stay if we are not on board with someone. Also, if someone is willing to host us, please let me know if you are comfortable with my mom and I (and possibly you too) releasing my dads ashes into the water while on board. His will states that his wishes are that his ashes are spread in the Sir Francis Drake Channel.

Thank you so much for any input or offers that you may have.

Awesome! Our boat is full as far as sleep aboard. Let me look into a few things and I will get back to you.

Also if anyone else has an idea please speak up!

Mal, I love this attitude. We pretty much hold that same one at our family " camp" which sleeps 8 in actual beds, but the saying is " there is always another option". We've slept 15 in high summer, all under a roof, and that didn't include " car camping" or " tenting".

Thank you so so much Steve! Let us know if anyone has a free cabin. We are willing to chip in. If not we would just like to go on a day sail for the race! We aren't too heavy I promise smile

There is the SeaCrest Inn to the left of Foxy's and there are also some rooms managed by Rudy's in the other direction - Ali Baba's is great if they are not sold out - Nick, Monz, and I will be there Friday/Saturday/Sunday.
