Had a great time. Thanks to the organizers and VT Home and Marine. I learned a few things and enjoyed the best treat of all, sugar on snow. Also a special thanks to "Gecha Gerry" for passing on the Rotary Derby pass to me. Our Canadian friends are welcome on my boat anytime.

Gerry,

I forgot to thank you for the "Whippet's" My kids devoured them. Nice having the out of town visitors at our workshops!

[Ludo]

They need to be educated about dessert and cookie from Quebec

I ate a Whippet or 17...they were very good.
Thanks Gerry.

Congratulations to Tom Murphy! Just received his Ray49 VHF radio prize promised late last week from Ray Marine. It's a $250 value fixed mount VHF radio with many bells and whistles.

Neat story as Tom told me after drawing his name he really needed a VHF radio! Enjoy Tom!

Ray Marine is a great company with excellent products! Love my Digital Spx-5 Autopilot

[MADSIERRA]

Awsome job with the workshop Ron! Had a great time with great people. He is going to love that radio...never had a problem with any Raymarine product I have owned.

[raz]

Nice radio!

To summarize:

A very successful 2012 taping workshop series this year! 87 people attended both workshops and the great experiment of opening up to everyone was a non-issue. We had great responses from the donators and the people that attended. We will continue the show and tell by Rob and Bill as they did a great job showing us all some of the latest stuff. This was very well received!

Next year in 2013 will be the 5 th year of the workshops. Let's go fishing first for 2012.

Thanks everyone!

Ron
