FOLKS WE MET AT GOOSE POND

Oct. 9-15 - Shown here are several of the boats that came into Goose Pond Colony Marina during this week. We continued enjoying meeting new boaters and becoming acquainted with them.


One of the couples we welcomed was Al & Gayle Binnington from Guelph, Ontario aboard FALKOR. Our friends, Jerry & Angie Flynn that we met when we did the Loop in 2002, asked us to be on the lookout for FALKOR. We were delighted when they arrived on Oct. 11. They invited us over for Happy Hour along with Betsy & Rick (RICK 'N ROLL) from Sneads Ferry, NC and Chip & Michelle (ITHAKA) from Naples, FL.
We enjoyed having Diesel Don and his wife Connie over for dinner later that evening. We met Diesel Don in 2006 when he surveyed another boat for us. He & Connie live in Scottsboro, but Don's usually on the road with his diesel engine repair service or surveying. We finally caught him at home long enough to share a meal together.

On the 12th, we said farewell to Al & Gayle as FALKOR left the dock. Hope we see them again down the waterway.
