I already have two weekends in Sept., one in Oct., and at least two in Nov. booked for WWII stuff or vacation.  This is turning out to be one busy fall.  Let us know the date, at any rate.

I'm not sure how many people would be game for visiting three boats after driving for 14 hours in a vehicle.

Regarding dates filling up... I know how that goes...

but another good point:  we have a good parking lot (for parking a camper).  We just got done feeding up to 100 people each day during the Air Show this weekend... it went well...  There is also about a third acre of lawn (COD is the sub with a lawn)...

As far as sleeping aboard COD, late Oct to mid November is very doable...   :-\

Paul.
I just have to say it.   The Batfish has 8.81 acres.  This is both a blessing and a curse....

OK, I had hoped it would not come to this, but I guess all of us being males.....


It's not the size of your LAWN, but the quality of the grass on it!!!!   
And ours is the best collection of rat-tale weed grass and other crap ever seen on the North Coast!  :crazy2:

Back to the original question - Paul, I could support a get together on Cod, or on any other boat.  There are no better or worse weekends for me other than the obvious ones.  There's a fair number of "what if" questions that would make great fantail conversation.
