Upcoming Lobster Cookout, Sept NLPS ExCom, Highway Mariners...


We're "on the road" again 14 Sept with the Seaport Sams camping club to Deer Haven CG for our annual Lobster Cookout camp out. We have thirty rigs signed up, so it should be a great time for all. Photos will be posted to the Seaport Sams and CT Good Sam sites (links are on the right) after our return.


Last night our NLPS had its Executive Committee meeting and I came out of that very encouraged in the direction we're going as a Squadron...we're on the right course for sure!

We just signed up for the Highway Mariners Camping Club. This is a United States Power Squadron group of campers that take their motor homes to the Annual Meetings and Governing Board sessions. We hope to attend the next Annual Meeting being held 20-25 February 2007 at the Hyatt Regency, Riverfront in Jacksonville, Fla.

Off to Sunrise Resort....Sept 08, 2006

We're off this morning to Sunrise Resort in Moodus for the weekend, and we'll post photo's from the State Good Sam event on the CT State & Seaport Sams website(s) when we return. The camping weekends are starting to "count down"....counting Sunrise there are only four more weekends left on our 2006 camping schedule, then we have to turn the page and look at what's ahead. It's always a long winter for campers when you don't go to Florida!

The Motor Home has been moved to the "Launch" position...



We've moved the Motor-home to the launch position near the rear door of the house, where the lot is fairly level and we can plug her in for refrigeration cool down, packing etc. This weekend we're going to Sunrise Resort CG in Moodus CT with the CT Good Sam Club (several of us from Seaport Sams are attending). The dogs Bailey, Gracie and Daisy KNOW something is up when the motor-home is being packed and they watch us every second to make sure we don't escape without them....they LOVE camping:).
