First Trip to the Broughtons

The following e-mails speak for themselves.

Hello,

We are planning our first trip to the Broughtons. Can you tell us whether Lagoon Cove is open for business this summer (July 2010)? What about the docks at Minstrel Island? Is that facility still abandoned?

Thank you,
Ginnie

Hi, Ginnie,

I think you’ll enjoy the Broughtons. Be sure to bring something for get-togethers around 5:00 p.m. at the various marinas. One smart cruiser we met sticks with brownies. He brings boxes and boxes of brownie mix and never has to worry about what to take to potlucks (so don’t bring brownie mix).

As far as we know Lagoon Cove will be open and roaring. We plan to stop there. As for Minstrel Island, last summer the place felt fairly abandoned. The docks were safe enough to use, but not maintained.

Hi Bob. Thanks for the quick reply containing good news re Lagoon Cove and good advice re taking something for the potlucks. Rest assured, we’ll follow your advice (no brownies).

We have loved and relied upon your book for many years. Thanks for being a fabulous resource!
