Tough call, while that would be a great prize on the raffle table, since it is a grab what is available versus bidding on a single item, you would do better for MS Society by Auctioning somewhere and donating the money directly to MS.

Location undetermined but probably same place on East Beach

ivanputski · 10-03-2009, 02:38 PM

The breakfast last year was one of the best in my memory... probably because it was nice to sit down in some dry clothes and have a hot meal and coffee after that weekend... had some gnarly conditions... almost got washed off the front of watch hill light sat. night...

Islander77 · 10-03-2009, 06:08 PM

John

How bout when we meet up Ill give you the plug and you can run an auction here on S-B for it and donate the proceeds?? I know you are busy but I am gonna be going back to driving truck soon and am not gonna have reg net acess??

piemma · 10-05-2009, 12:59 PM

OK, John I'm out of retirement and I'm in for this tourney. What the hell, I am back as I fished all night last night and fell down 3 times in rocks and I'm still at work today. I guess I am not as old as I thought I was.

Hey, I'll drive. We can crash at the Neptune House. My old departed friend Gill Guillitone use to say "Fish now, sleep when you are dead".

JLH · 10-05-2009, 01:12 PM

John,

I’m in again this year. I can only fish Friday night through Saturday morning though because I’m running the half marathon in Newport on Sunday morning and will need to get a little sleep Saturday night. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to the cookout again but will miss the breakfast.

I was and I kept getting tangled up for some reason. 40 years wearing the damn things you'd think I would know how to walk in them.
I'm buying a pair of felt sole boots for the Canal. I ache all over today. Took one real good digger face forward on to the rocks.

BasicPatrick · 10-12-2009, 09:02 AM

Who is fishing for (don;t say it) teams other than S-B...

Also...can we get a firm time on the burning of the meats and whatever...should I honor Springtides by making a batch of Africa Chicken Peanut Bean Stew????

Wouldn't be right without it.

milo · 10-12-2009, 05:03 PM

If Bob is in so am I

piemma · 10-13-2009, 09:06 AM

So, who do we pay for this benefit and when?

Pete_G · 10-13-2009, 06:51 PM

They're forecasting 4 to 6 to 5 to 8 foot seas for most of the weekend. Gusts to 40 knots as well on Friday and wind all weekend. Rain the whole time.

I could have made that forecast two years ago. It is, of course, the fall surf club challenge.

tynan19 · 10-13-2009, 08:15 PM

Every year it seems to be a brutal weekend.

ivanputski · 10-13-2009, 10:23 PM

good... it'll keep the crowds a home on the couch....
