Date: Saturday February 23rd
Location: Stillwater Cove South, Pebble Beach
Time: Dive in AM, Award Ceremony at 2pm, Potluck/Chill until ?


Details:
-We know this date will not work for everybody, just a reality, but hopefully a lot of 2012 particpants can make it down. My schedule is very tight with family and Team in Training, and this is really the only weekend before March that I can do this. I will send all 2012 participants a PM shortly. Non-participants welcome also!!  :smt004

-Parking at SWS is limited, but we still thought it would be the best location for this. There is extra parking up at the Spa, and it's really not that far of a walk down. PLEASE PARK IN DESIGNATED GUEST AREAS. If you are unfamiliar with the location, just ask where you are meant to park. You should only park in the lot by the pier/bathroom when unloading and loading.

-People can paddle out and dive in the AM, and then we will do Awards and potluck at the beach starting at 2pm. There's a -0.1 tide at 3:20pm that day so there should be plenty of beach available.  :smt003

-The DOTY Champion plaque will be presented to fuzz. This is a beautiful plaque made by Piscean and is designed to be passed from winner to winner each year. We will burn the name and year of the winner on the back each year and then it can be passed on to the next champion.

-Prizes will include a bad ass custom speargun made my our very own Lucky13. Custom dive board and flag mounts by bloodbath's company Pacific Nalu. An excellent UK SL4 eLed L1 Dive light donated by Austin's Dive Center. Killer clothing and prints by the amazing Amadeo Bachar. Goodies TBD from the FreeDive Shop in Sacramento. Custom DOTY 2012 Calendars by the talented HojoMan.

-Hoping to get FryMaster1 to help us out with the fryer for the potluck. If not, I have one I can bring and a table as well. People can bring food and drinks, and fry whatever they catch right at the beach as well.   :smt003

Should be a good time!!!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...2013 DOTY is off to a good start. Young sharkbait has taken the early lead, and some quality fish have already been entered!  :smt001

I didn't partipate last year but I'm planning on being there.

I'm looking forward to getting out in the water a lot more this year.

PBMFE potential high!!   :smt004

Sheepshead are there, but not a gimme....I saw three last year (2 males and one female) and managed to shoot the one female (the only one I got a shot off on).

I can tell/show you the areas where I have seen sheep, and the areas where I have seen the highest concentration of MFE.

 :smt001

Hope you can make it James!!
