We're pretty far out from the 3rd annual CT mini reunion, but we've tentatively selected a date and I wanted to get it out there so people could start to plan.
Aug 23-25, 2013 More to come as the date draws closer. For those not familiar, here's the link to last year's mini: 2012 CT Mini |

In.
Don't know where I'll be for the rest of August, but those 3 days are set. No offense to any of the organizers or participants at the other great events that I attentded, but the weekend at Tim's was by far my favorite get-together of last summer. |

Hey, I wasn't able to make the 2012, but was wondering... and don't take this the wrong way... but how "family friendly" would this be?
I brought my two girls (14 and 11) up to the NE Reunion in 2011 with Keith and Karen, which is what helped me finally get my own boat. Would love to get back together, but it would most likely be a family weekend. But we would love to explore other lakes and it was great to hang out with other Nautique owners. |

Doug as a first timer to the CT mini last year I don't see any reason why you couldn't bring the kiddo's. Most CCFan gatherings that I have been too are pretty tame until later in the evening when the shot ski is broken out. Even then it's just Fans talking and drinking. I've been to allot of gatherings over the years and have only seen two instances where a fan had a few too many. If you are not opposed to your kids see a bunch of grown ups drink responsably then I say bring them. As in most cases if you aren't on the water you either in it or close by it.

^^I agree with Morfoot. A lot of us set up tents on the front lawn. As long as your daughters are comfortable car camping, they should be comfortable.
Very intensive on the watersports, so it was a fun one. |

Tim,
I'm planning to make this trip this year. If I could score a cheap flight, would this be an easy thing to do? What airport is easiest to get in and out of? How far is that from your place? |

Lifts are full Ken. :-p
Bruce, lots of room for boats. Bring a half way decent anchor just in case and we'll moor it right in the cove. Water is only chest deep. Steve, that would probably be Bradley (Hartford), which is about an hour away. |

Hi Steve, White Plains, NY and Newburgh, NY are also two airports that are not to far from Tim's, being smaller airports they may not have as many flights, but they are easier to get in and out of.

Well, as long as the kid's schedules stay clear, it looks like we can make it down. Not sure if the kids/wife will do camping... but they want to do another reunion, so we'll work something out.

Tim, I actually might be able to make this! Its one of my weekends off. It would give my wife a chance to hang out with her best friend in Hartford she is an assistant coach at UCONN. What are the usual arrangements, not sure the wife (but maybe my 5yr old) would want to camp unless there were some type of facilities!! Thanks Allen

Looks like this could turn into a North Carolina road trip to CT. |

Allen, we host this event primarily at my family's house, so there are facilities- we just try to take it somewhat easy on our septic system! I can sleep people at my cottage(s) as well.
