A Journal, with Pictures

We made the easy two and a half hour flight from Hilton Head to Ocan Reef Club Fri­day morn­ing land­ing in time for lunch. COPA mem­bers start­ed gath­er­ing at Ocean Reef Club on Key Largo on Wednes­day and Thurs­day and the bulk of the 50 atten­dees to the fly-in land­ed on Fri­day. Let the record show that Den­nis and Jill drove from Mia­mi, Flori­da. In addi­tion to the 20 Cir­rus, Alan Klap­meir flew the Kestrel pro­to­type and Mason Hol­land the Eclipse jet. In addi­tion Dan Schwinn, CEO of Avi­dyne flew in, for a very great COPA roots gathering.

The atten­dee’s enjoyed the activ­i­ties at Ocean Reef and met infor­mal­ly for lunch and by the pool. The first orga­nized event was Fri­day evening at the Yacht Club for cock­tails and din­ner, where Den­nis filled us in on the plan for the week-end before cock­tails and dinner.

Every­one seemed to enjoy the evening and we left in time to see our SF Giants, win game 4 to go to the World Series, per­fect end to a great day.
