Sounds like a good time to be had by all. Not too far from Tifton that I shouldn't look into at least trying to bump into you guys at SGI. Maybe I'll find you guys there about. Wouldn't want to intrude but would say "Hello" if I see a large group of veteran boaters having a good time!

As I understand it, Friday arrive, check in, go to Richard's place, party until with good food and drink, Saturday, AM do what you want, later in the day meet somewhere to go to the island for the cook out, back on land before dark, what do we do then besides go shower and relax in the room, I feel sure someone will want to gather somewhere for something, maybe not, might be too tired to do anything. Everybody out there chime in, what do you think, let us know. Sunday will probably be go home for me. Also, any ideas on cook out on the island, how will we be cooking, campfire, grill, trying to decide what we need to bring. I could just get cold cuts and a loaf of bread for sandwiches.

Quick and easy for lunch is always a plus ! Still not sure if we will be bringing boat . Is the island meeting place like a long way off shore ? I have not installed a gps /depthfinder yet . I guess sat evening will be game time decision for us . Sunday will be heading home day for sure . Maybe take the scenic rout ..

The island meeting is on a barrier island across the bay from the mainland, I think 6 to 7 miles from Apalachacola, beyond the island is the Gulf of Mexico. You should be able to navigate to the island and back without gps, if you are with the group there will be someone who knows the area, if not get a paper chart and you should be ok.

OK, boys and girls...get your big girl/boy pants on.

Friday is gathering time at my home in Eastpoint (PM me if you need info). I will prepare a LCB for something to munch on. We will also review the nav charts to familiarize all to the area opportunities. I have two local captains providing additional boats: 24' pontoon and 19' Cobalt which will be loaded/unloaded from SGI.

Saturday morning is your chance to sightsee, fish, cruise...whatever. We'll meet up at Little SGI for a cookout on the beach in the mid-afternoon (2ish?...we'll decide Friday). I'm still finalizing a flounder gigging trip for Saturday night for those interested.

Sunday...HANGOVER!!!!!!!!!! Playing it by ear.

THIS IS AN OPEN INVITATION TO ALL...COME JOIN US!



Veritus Honus...would you like to prepare your BBQ at my kitchen on Friday and keep it to serve at the cookout? Or do you want to do it on Friday...no matter to me.

I just found out that VH will not be with us this weekend due to work problems. Sucks I know, but it does happen.

I still plan to be there.

Re: Florida South Georgia Boaters need a party Now with Dates 6/21-6/23/2013

I am not bringing any watercraft, so I will be wanting a ride on one of the boats you have lined up. Everything has gone wrong when I wanted to get things ready, just the way things go, ya know. Anyway wife has been after me to tell her what we need to bring, so what is the Saturday cookout going to be, burgers and dogs or something more? Do we have any plans for Saturday PM? Any plans of any kind or are we just going to do whatever, either way is okay by me.

I hate it; but nlain's correct.:facepalm: Just not not sure which is worse... the fact that I'll be missing this one, or the fact that nlain's correct. ...Alright. That's not true at all. There are plenty of things that could be worse than nlain being correct. This one in particular.:blue:
I'm sorry for the last minute notice, folks. I've really struggled and tried to not miss this (clinging to the hope for a miracle.) Just didn't work out this time.
I know you guys/gals are going to have an incredible time. I feel terribly about not being with "The Crew" this time around. Have a great time. I'll be there for the next one.

I agree 100% ! Thanks Richard for having us all over ! The food was great both days and the area was just beautiful ! I think the only time we got rained/sprinkled on was at the ramp .. The ride out to the Island was a little rough but it flattened out nice once we made it across the bay .. Our crew sure had a blast and we are really glad we came !

PS, I think Tiffany is ready for some more oysters ! :lol:
