FINAL
UPDATE and EPILOGUE - Thursday, August 12, 2010
2010
Tie-Up Party - Event Recap
This
year was the BEST, the BEST one yet !!! I had to cut down the
number of boats and not publicize it very much, just to keep the
crashers away and make the Harbor Patrol happy, and it worked out
perfectly. We had 17 boats on the main line, about
24
total, about 480 people total. Barry Saywitz wins the
Pirate Award with 53 guests !! And Dr. Richard Moy came in a
close second....
~~ 2010
Information ~~We had a FABULOUS time on the water, and our Security staff kept the boat crashers away. Perfect weather in the 70's, mild wind, and no problems... just lotsa FUN !!! There are thousands of pictures out there - here's some examples, send me links if you have pictures or vids. More pictures/vids from 2009 & prior years are down farther: Click Here for a recap

Someone has invited you, so you already know where the Party is.... The Turning Basin in Newport Harbor. Check with the Boat Captains below if you need a ride !!! Captains, Mates
and those
who enjoy a fun day on the water meet Saturday, August 7 for our Annual
Boat Tie-up Party !!! This is the 12th year for this
bash and it's the best event of the Summer in Newport Harbor - ask
anyone who's been there. Live Band, dancing, 25 boats, lotsa
pretty mermaids, and fun for all !! There is an Aerial view below of a
prior year's gathering.... this year even better !!
We don't do any publicity on this party, keeping it on the down low....
Captains are in charge of their ship and guests !!! Boat
Captains Only
please call me anytime....
-
James Raven is bringing TWO water playpens, oh my !!
- NO DUFFY SHUTTLE THIS YEAR --- get a ride on one of the boats below - Some of the boats with open spots are listed below, most boats are full to the gunnels.... - Perfect weather expected in Newport .... Sunny and 74 on the water !!! - We have all 20 boats confirmed, and 20 is the max, please no boat crashers. We have security on both ends and those not registered will be asked to anchor elsewhere !!! 1. We have a gen-u-ine Permit this year. This Party will start at about 1:00 pm and go until 6:00 pm, per the Permit. Some Captains will come earlier, some later. Check with your Captain to see what time you sail !! We will we have a Live Band on one of one of the boats if we can find a spot for them... Boat Captains, please volunteer your decks or flybridge for the band, let us know !!!
2. We got broken up last year for the first time, b/c we had too many Boats in the Turning Basin area. We have a tight list of large (very large) boats that are part of this. This is not the River...only the boats on our list will be able to Tie-up, otherwise the Harbor Patrol will bust us up (too many boats) and no one has any fun. Boats without a full crew of mermaids are not welcome. Please, No Boat Crashers !!!! Everyone's
cooperation is appreciated. If you are not registered with
us, anchor your boat
safely aways off and take your tender or dinghy over to the Party, you
are welcome to come that way. Or bring your Duffy boats or
whatever from anywhere in the Harbor. 3.
Per the request of many of the Captains, we will NOT be
running a Duffy Shuttle back and forth from the mainland this year.
The
Captains have told us that those who come by Shuttle don't bring
anything and overload the Party. Find a ride, rent a boat,
find a Captain, and come out for the fun .... you must arrange your own
way.
4.
We will post a list below of the Captains whose
boats are not full later in the week - please call the
Captains below and make arrangements. You gotta call the Captains
below, I don't
know who is going on what boat or how many people can still come - the
Captains know that. I know that all of the boats will be
full, 500+ people, so call right now !!
5. It goes without saying, but.... enjoy our time, drink sensibly and no drugs !!! The Harbor Patrol will be watching our every move through binoculars, and they don't need much of an excuse to bust us up, so..... be cool, have fun, do it right !!!!
Your
