I had a good time at the show and topped it off with a great supper gathering with everyone for supper. Thanks MuleLars and Old Salt for going the extra mile setting up the gatherings. I did not buy anything this year but need to call a few friends to see if they took a Pak Boat home. I did my best to convince them THEY needed it. Wink

Congratulations to Old Salt and MagicPaddler for their excellent presentation on fitting your canoe for a fishing trip.  They were poised and skilled in spite of daunting technical difficulties.  Great job, guys!

I'll post some photos later.  I don't know how to resize them on  my iPad.

We certainly appreciated the great show of support from our friends here at QJ. Everyone patiently waited while the Copia techies worked 20 minutes or so to solve the technical problems delaying the start of our show. It was amazing to me that no one left while we sat waiting. Lawrence stepped up and adlibbed on fish finders and batteries and took questions during the dead time. Great job MP! Cool

I'll add my kudos to OS and MP as well. Nice job!!

And it was indeed another excellent weekend! It's always nice to connect with everyone who makes the trek. It was great seeing all of you.

I'll also extend my appreciation to MuleLars re: setting up meals and to Old Salt & Magic (with an assist from Wally13) for their fine presentation despite the adversity of technical difficulties.

Alas, even THEY couldn't sell my pink trolling motor....

Jimbo   Cool

Don't give up hope Jimbo. Maybe throw in a flamingo and I'd bet that item will sell!

Great times. Good Saturday dinner gathering and discussions (and it wasn't all about fishing  Grin ) Very informative presentation gentlemen! Thanks to all.

Next year's door prize?

I'll add my thanks to all involved and especially MuleLars. Sorry 'bout those name tags but I did/do appreciate the thought.

It was a good time at the meal gatherings. Thanks MuleLars.  Thanks OS for the free ice cream. We appreciated the good QJ turnout at the presentation.

I'd also like to thank MuleLars for setting up the dinner, I really enjoyed it.  Also good to see fellow QJ'ers in person, telling lies, --er- stories, and sharing mistakes,--er--wisdom on tripping.
I did not pick up anything but the new WCP map at the show.  Was it my timing, or did the cash registers not seem as busy this year?
If Jimbo donates that Pink motor for next years door prize, it needs to come with Magic's current draw data and recommendation for a matching lightweight battery pack...
