Brothers Only Tip-a-Few: October 2008

[Nota bene: Submission by Blue Stache]

Dateline - Norfolk, VA; 10.10.08
Discussions of the Brotherhood
Chesapeake Bay Table, BOC, USA

Even in the world of this highly disorganized group, adhering to a set of eight Principals, gently treading under the direction of 'The Guide', and bound by a Love of the Sea, interesting discussions of opinions and observations on the minds of the Captain and Crew of the Table are virtually determined to result in “understandings moving forward”. The content of these discussions become totally irrelevant in the company of Brothers – and therefore not repeated here – in the familiar surroundings of O’Sullivan’s Wharf – home of the nachos, wings and ‘golden nectar’.

Interesting to note, but far from unusual, all were in attendance less four, three were on boats of one sort or another, either in-shore or off-shore, on their or others run south for the year, and one was administering to a visit by his mother (who, by the way, has already attended a Table event by sea).

High participation, friendly faces, and great discussions do however lead to understandings of significant import. This Branle-bas was no exception with the most meaningful understanding being that we would all gather again, this time with Captives in hand, at the home of Brother Floater and Sook Jacque on November 22.
