There were 37 boats in 10 days, so the campground would be covered. Byob ( I brought my own 1/2 the time anyway) and hot dogs/ hamburgers wouldn't change my opinion of the quality at all, as long as everybody got to hang out together. No campground would definitely be a deal-breaker as far as the social side of things goes. The late start for the website (10 days of registration)didn't help matters any either, I'm sure,as well as a conflict with the now cancelled(lack of attendance) A cat event on the outer banks. You also have to wonder if Mr. Ernie and Nigel aren't ready for a little break from the rigors of organizing and running it too. My guess is next year would be back to normal, if given the chance.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
