a 0645 start and a 4pm deadline to be back only leaves about 3 hours of fishing time.

I thought the start time was closer to 0600?

We will be pushing back the return time equally. Don't worry, that's what the Captain's Meeting is for. We are doing our best to give every one the best experience possible even if that means tweaking the setup.

Will the gas dock be operatiing at its normal hours or possibly open earlier or stay open later for the event?

Check 6,

Normal hours, so that means be back before 5pm if you want to buy gas on the water.

Of course you can always do the gas can thing or trailer up and pull it a block to the Chevron, but I know that is a pain.

Mitch,
I see that the Captains meeting will be held at the Maritime Museum, but cant seem find what time it starts.

Bob,

Registration begins at 5pm, the meeting itself around 7. We should have the Captains Package out the door shortly. On our first year we are running down all those 90%'s and solidifying stuff as much as possible. You can talk and agree all you want but it isn't a done deal until it's done. We delayed as much as possible to limit the revisions. You can probably get away with showing up early as there will be folks around.

One important note, the bait dock will be open late to 7 pm on Friday and open early at 4am on Saturday. If you're on the bait plan you will need to get a coupon at registration before heading over for bait. We had an unexpected change in the bait donation where now they are donating by the man instead of scoops per boat. It's 3lbs per person on the boat as long as you have the coupon. They are promising to be liberal as well. If you happen to have 6 guys on your team at the bait dock you can get 18lbs. I think most teams have 5 guys. You can buy bait beyond that for 5 bucks per pound.

mitch are you saying that you are mailing out a packet today?

mitchk · Sep-09-2009, 02:13 PM

I'll have something posted so guys can download it tonight. Mail would never reach you in time. We also intend to have a Captains Package for each team at registration.

thats what I was thinking, no way the USPS would get it done in a day..

where you said above "we should have the Capt.'s packet out the door shortly" I thought you were saying in the mail..
