Yes. Not one of my better ideas.
Wifey B: And who oh who are or is the mystery? I've got it....it's...
It's me, it's me. It's Ernest T. [/Ernest T Bass was my favorite hero. He had never seen a window that didn’t need breaking.

Wifey B: It seemed that he was always around, but Ernest T only appeared in six episodes.
Wifey B: I guessed when Pilou posted, but only messaged her in private, not going to give away the secret. My guess was sort of unfair too as I knew she was in the country, not far away as she said in the post. You're all lucky to see Olivier and Pilou. Very nice and very interesting people. I miss them here.
Thank you Belle (BandB) you are a sweetheart.
Also You were the proof that contrary to popular belief, women can easily keep a secret
Thank you for having kept in regular contact over the past years, I much appreciated your messages and your thoughtfulness.
It was truly our honor and our pleasure!!! Very nice to meet y’all!!!
John
Olivier and Pilou
Jewel and I really enjoyed meeting y’all, and your English is much better than my French! I’m sorry I made you drink the pink rum...
Bill and Jewel
Wifey B: You're too sweet. Wish you and Olivier were active here.
I didn't think my hubby could keep a secret from me but we were in Rome and went to meet the plane and I saw my niece, Aurora, and just screamed and ran toward her. I don't like surprises, but ones like that I could always take. Her grandparents were with her, but I was expecting them.

I think I can speak for all, it was our extreme pleasure to meet you and Pilou after reading your posts on TF for years it was great to put a face on the posts. Your both very gracious and your English is great, I’m use to Watfa. We hope you and family enjoy your trip to the states and hopefully you make it back again soon.
Thanks also for my present, the coffee tasted better this morning.
Thanks for visiting with us you added some class to our group. Enjoy your trip.
Thanks to all for what was, IMO, the BEST TF Gathering so far! They keep getting betterer and betterer!
Great friends, great food, great drinks, great boats, great times...what more could you possibly ask for besides great weather. But the stormy skies and near-gale force winds didn't really slow us down a bit. Pilou's sweater was almost lost to Davey Jones' locker while touring Irv's 54 GB Gotcha but her recovery was successful!
Here are my photos and I know others have some great group pics from Friday and Saturday nights. I hope Ian, Wendy and the others will be able to post them up here.
Irv, I think Ollie and Pilou deserve the Long Distance Award this year. France is about twice as far as Northern California. It was so great to finally meet them after several unsuccessful attempts in the past on the best coast. Great Secret Guests, Don!
Ollie/Pilou and I now looking forward to a summer cruise into the California Delta with our boats following the July 4th celebrations. Anyone else want to join in a TF Delta Gunkholing Cruise in July 2020? Good ground tackle and a dinghy required for maximum fun and flexibility. (New thread at a later date.)
PS. I counted 25 people seated and eating in Irv and Watfa's salon, galley and lower helm during our Saturday night dinner. That was most impressive!! Then, after dinner, we ALL congregated in the cockpit for the raffle! Thanks to all who contributed prizes. No left empty handed, hungry or unhappy. Just sorry Trina fell ill before the big night. Hope she's on the mend or over it by now.
OMG, that last pic. [emoji23]

Thanks, Al; just saw this. She’s all good. Just rotten timing.
Ian, glad to hear that Trina’s better. Lou had an arthritis flair up, and I took her over to the same “doc in the box” on Thursday. She was in terrible pain. The doc was good and seemed to have a handle on her problem. When she got home and went to her arthritis specialist on Monday, her doc said the inflammation was under control. So, it was worth the long wait.
