MARATHON / KEY WEST JOINT RENDEZVOUS
NEWFOUND HARBOR ON PICNIC ISLAND JUNE 24, 2000
If you weren't there you missed a GREAT time. Make sure you
make it next time - on your boat or hitch a ride on another! Plan on joint
rendezvous' for Shark River
(Feb), Boca Grande (April) and Newfound Harbor (June) every year between our two
Squadrons - besides our regular cruises.
Page may take a while to load because of LOTS of pictures. -

only eat so many marshmellows that his kids burned in the fire!

At Left: Cdr's Gregory Absten, Marathon (right), John
Cryer, Key West (middle), and Administrative Officer of Key West, Skip
Speller (left). As AO, Skip set up and arranged for this rendezvous which
was planned prior to Marathon becoming involved. Many thanks to Skip who
worked his butt off to make this a fun weekend. He made about a zillion
trips in his dinghy setting up the tent, tables & chairs, and the
barbecue grills.

Davenport, SN (Marathon) and EO John Belkengren, AP (Key West).
Yes Key West, we know that Charles and
Peggy are also associate members of Key West, the same as Marathon, but
you noticed whose burgee was flying from their bow didn't
you? At-A-Boy Charles!

Though they enjoyed their drinks in their
"water seats", these two Key West members seemed to go "Topsy
Turvey" in the water! Lucky I was there with the camera! What were
they drinking anyway? |
