Unfortunately, the caronavirus crisis cancellations have risen to a level that we need to revise our plan for Saturday dinner. We don’t have enough to justify bulk BBQ, so our adjusted plan is meet in our QJ room up to 6:30 pm and then walk or drive up the street to Fat Jacks BBQ about 3-4 blocks up the road. We will order from the menu, Dutch treat. Cool

After dinner we will return to our QJ room for the usual bantering and storytelling. We will have the usual complimentary assortment of craft beers, pop, and water. Cool

Friday Paddlers Rendezvous remains unchanged. We can gather at 3:00 pm or whenever you arrive. We request a $5 donation to cover the rental costs of $150. As usual, we will order pizza as desired through the evening. Cool

Given this change, we no longer need a headcount. If you want us get something to bring back from Fat Jacks, please let us know on Friday and we’ll work it out. Cool

We’re gonna miss you and the others who have canceled, but we certainly understand. Best of luck in your change of plans.

Guys, Sorry to say but I must cancel my Copia trip this year. Wife and I are also in the process of cancelling our 2-week trip to Europe on Apr 1 and working with Delta and various hotel/train reservations to see about refunds or postponement to next fall. Best wishes to all and hope everyone remains safe and vigilant. Rich.

OS, at the moment, pizza on Friday, yes. Saturday I have plans for dinner, but will join the QJ crowd afterward for libations and fish stories. Apologies if the previous post made that unclear. pd

PD, will you be eating dinner with us? Thanks

I'm still in. There's gotta be something there I don't already have 3 or 4 of yet. After the show, I'm travelling around the state to infect the rest of my family! See y'all….well, some of y'all there! pd

OK. I'm officially cancelled. My decision was based more on airplane flights than happenings associated with 'copia, but with a plane change each way going through a different international airport, this just added up to more potential risk than I care to expose myself (at my age). Of course, having at least one confirmed case of coronavirus in Madison also didn't put any checks in the plus column.

I confirmed my cancellation with the hotel staff and conveyed that I was with the QJ group and was cancelling because of coronavirus. They didn't seem to be phased by any of that.

Oh well ... maybe next year!

Hey folks, I've cancelled out too unfortunately. I was really looking forward to this year as we had (have) a great group of folks as always showing up. I have similar concerns as Jimbo and DD and cancelling out gave my wife a big sigh of relief. My salad goes to OS and the coleslaw to TomT. The turkey breast is for walley13.

See you out on the water this season!

PS. I told them that I was with Quiet Journey and they said that they've been getting a fair number of cancellations so this is a real bummer for the local businesses in Madison as well.

I also carry some Kleenex as I have a chronic condition that causes my nose to run and my feet to smell. Not related to caronavirus.

Yeah the cruise ship industry is about to go dormant for awhile.

So, I have this idea of bringing a replacement pack of "wet ones" to Copia. I want to frequently wash my hands there but gotta figure the bathrooms will be packed with like minded patrons. So my question is, will the wet wipes do the job or are there better recommendations to keep the bad stuff off my hands and onto my face? Thx.

Coranavirus is the term for a family of viruses.
COVID-19, the strain from China is in that family BUT it's so new there is NOT enough data to conclusively say hand wipes will work on it for sure?

They "probably" will, but the BIGGEST thing is doing the same you do for the flu. Wash your hands frequently and DON'T touch your face/mouth.

That is very hard to do for long for most people. I'd do the fist bump greetings. Use your elbow to open doors, foot to flush toilets, sneeze into your elbow and I wouldn't be sharing FINGER type food for obvious reasons.

ANY wipe that says it kills CORANAVIRUS is good to use until they get more specific data.
