To the entire family,

Note: when registering for the event, there are fields for you to enter your boat size and so on. For those of you who are not bringing a boat, you have undoubtedly noticed that the form will not submit with those fields empty.

So... simply enter "No Boat" into those fields and it will submit.

Thank you,

Who's Going??
I'm trailering the X-18 down. Wife & daughter flying down. Frank may be copilot?? GEOO :cool:

Beth and I will be there. Hoping to bring the boat with me, but that depends on whether my parents join us on the trip. If my parents don't join us :( , we'll be flying down(I'm offering fuel money for a ride with someone so I don't get left on the dock! ;) ), if they do join us, Beth and mom will fly and dad and I will tow. :)

The Hyatt has booked! Earlier than I thought but I guess that's a high quality problem!

Please call the other hotels listed - Holiday Inn Downtown and Holiday Inn Airport/Marina as soon as possible.

I am working on trying to get more rooms at the Hyatt as we speak.

If you can't get into the Hyatt ( I didn't)some of us will be at the Airport Holiday Inn. It's about 10 minutes away and has good parking for cars and trailers. You have Mike's deal there, which is good for three nights, and I just talked to them and obtained agreement for a one or two night deal at $69, or $79 if you would like a marina view room.They have a nice marina too with slips at $.75/ foot, if you want to slip there for some reason. Give them the code "2-Don" to get that deal. 941-355-2781. The Honda Marine dealer next door, Sara Bay Marina, has launching facilities including the sheepskin padded sling arrangement. ;)

Just a quick reminder to everyone: DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER!

Currently I have more rooms booked at the hotels than I have registrations. Not a good thing!

Log on to www.donzimarine.com (http://www.donzimarine.com) and REGISTER TODAY. Checks for the entry fee can be sent later (October 5, 2001 is deadline for checks).

Looking forward to seeing everyone! Thanks to everyone for the excitement!

We are winding down a never ending construction project on a lake house on Possum Kingdom Lake. Jill thinks it will be done and ready for move in during October. I know better, it could be next October, but tonight I heard the final no on this issue. Oh well, at least he is paying me now for being late, but that is no small consolation for missing the salt in Sarasota...

Hi Mike,
Rochelle & I registered but Corsican 001 will have to stay in the barn.
I will bring some pics which you asked for...

Sorry we missed you at George and NH.

Can you arrange to let me use the Donzi 38 or other demo boat for the weekend.???
We have no boat transportation..!
We booked the Hyatt and will see you and all the family in paradise.

If you have a list of who is coming and who are bring boats, could you send me an e-mail.

Many Thanks,

Kenn and Rochelle :) :)

Hey Mike,
I couldn't tell by the way you worded post, if you didn't get my registration or not..... I did register. Both Diana and I are coming (sans Boat). I'll be out of town for a week, so I won't be able to read your posts.
BERTRAM BOY :D :D :D

Hardonzi,

Walkups are welcome as long as they are prepared to pay when they arrive. I like to know in advance for ordering enough food (you know how it is).

Bertram,

Bill,

I haven't received it as of this morning. I am contacting my webmaster and seeing if there could be a problem on his end since you are not the only one who has said that they have already registered once.

Try once more and let's see what happens.

Thanks.

Olred,

I still have not received the registration as of 5:00am Thursday morning(EST). I talked to my web guy and he is clueless as to why I can't get yours - or George Desmond or Brad Verd??????

I will nevertheless, fill one out for you if you would please email me with your number I will call and do it over the phone.

That goes for everyone who is having trouble!!

WE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!! :cool:

Mike,

I got your message on my answering machine inviting us down to Florida for this event. Thanks for thinking of us, but my wife Cherrie and I are both teachers...with nice time off in the summer but very limited time off during the "season".

Thanks again for the personal call. We will be there in spirit, and hope to see you at the AOTH II in Kentucky next spring.

Breaks my heart I am going to miss the Owners Rally. I hope everyone has a GREAT Time!!! :D

If anyone makes it as far south as Stump Pass on the Intercoastal. Say hello to Tobie and Bud at the Fish Tales Marina @ Stump Pass!!!

BTW They have great wings @ the marina's restaurant. "Marker 17"

BTW Don't try the pass without "Local Knowledge"
