Our 2nd Thursday of the Month chat will be tonight, December 9 starting at 10 PM ET.

Hope you can make it. Newbies welcome!

John, in last week's chat I read you were discussing how to boost attendance on the chat.
I think an earlier east coast hour once in a while would help. I know the east coast/west coast scenario but ...
10 E ..7 W
9 E ..6 W
8 E ..5 W?

How about a Saturday or Sunday afternoon?
7 E ..4 W
6 E ..3 W
5 E ..2 W
4 E ..1 W

I really enjoy the chats, but have not been able to attend one lately. I do try to find my way there on the Wed. night chats but the Thursday night one is too late for my schedule.

Hi JC, ...Sorry I'm missing some of the chats. I've been getting up at 0400 and on the road by 0450 hours to beat the traffic into Boston. Unfortunately, a 10 o'clock chat is past my bed time.

OK - some of you East Coasters who need to hit the hay before 10:30. Someone pick a day and time and we'll give it a shot.

Don't be wishy-washy. Take the lead and pick a time and day.

The chat log is up for Dec 9:

Maybe the months that have a fifth, or bonus chat, would be good candidates for an earlier time? Just a thought.

Re: Dec 9 chat

John, you asked me if there were cruises on the NY canals. Don't know of cruises but there are canal boats you can rent for say a week. You get a half hour or so training and off you go. They apparently are quite popular as we see them go by often. They come fully equiped and even have bikes.

Sean, we talked about the Eagle and I've found something on it of interest? which also mentions her sister ship (2nd link):
