Progressive Dinner

Drum Point, Wye River, Sep 15-16

We decided to try a Progressive Dinner at this raft-up. The plan was to have four rafts and four raft captains to host different courses, i.e., Happy Hour, Appetizer, Entrée, Dessert. There was a lot of wind, so some boats anchored separately and everyone used a dinghy to get from course to course. There were 13 boats, divided up as follows:

• Happy Hour
  • Don McBride and guest, Coelumar
  • Mark Turner and guests, The Goose
  • Mike Vacarro and Debbie Smith, Frisky Business
• Appetizer
  • Jon and Marilyn Van Tassell, Resolve
  • Walt and Sue Dennison, Foxfire
  • Al and Vicky Lohman, Rhiannon
• Entrée
  • Gerry and Jeanne Helldorfer, Ragtime
  • John and Betty McElderry, Andiamo
  • Wayne and Joan Savage, Jubilee
• Dessert
  • Bob Klimek and Lucia Casale, with crew Jim and Suzanne Bergeron, Lucia
  • Mike and Bev Davis, Ayewash
  • Pete and Kathy Bruzik, Pekabu
  • Bryan and Kim Armentrout, Summerset
