We selected the later date for the best chances for optimum conditions.  Our last HMB derby in 2007 had over 75 contestants.  We can easily break the 100 participant mark this year.

The HMB derby is known for it's huge turnout, easy parking and launch, great food, great fun, and the biggest lingcod ever caught in our derbies (29 pounder caught by Brian "fantini4fish").

For our safety, HMB Kayak Co. will have a support boat and the Harbormaster will provide jetski patrols.  All participants will be required to have a VHF radio tuned to Ch. 69.

A big THANKS to Doug at the HMB Kayak Co.!!!

I like the idea of the support boat and jetski patrols.

Sounds like an awesome tourney Chuck. That's gonna be awesome. That date could possibly fit in my schedule, hmmmmm. You're making me want to shoot down there for the weekend...

I thought you weren't "shooting" anywhere while on baby patrol??? BTW- how's the little one doing?

Freddie

Sweet! This should be a blast!

Team Davis (Formerly known as the bodega crew) will be there

Sounds good.

What are the rules and entry fee?

i'll check the palm-pilot and have my people get back to you.

I think the "palm pilot" is used for something else!

I will be there with extra large smelt

It's late enough in the season and from SFO to HMB is only about 30 minutes. Makes the "shooting" that much easier. Good amount of time to be building WAF too. Little Kylah's doing great and is outgrowing clothes still in her age bracket. I wonder where she gets that from....

Yeeeehaaaaa!  Count me in
