GS4 - The MADNESS begins!!!!!!!

Hi Yakers:

    On my way back  from Monterey, I blew my Vans' Trans.
I can't make it to GS4. 
                                                       I done in for the Season!
                                                       Ernie

I hope you can still find a way to make it up, Ernie.  Good luck.   

 The check is in the mail as they say!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to get up there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds great. Count me in. Any possibility for "T" shirts with a pocket?  I'd probably want an extra or 2 if so in XL.  

I live here in Shelter Cove in case you need any local help.  Anyone who has not visited Shelter Cove be advised the last 21 miles will take you almost an hour drive time.  I happen to know this year you can get great coffee, french crepes, tasty soup, sandwiches and great take out pizza (new owner) at the north end of the cove at the Inn of the Lost Coast.  See you there.

Hey, Boogieman!  I just searched my photo archives for awhile and couldn't find where I met you in Trinidad with your wife and your unique kayak motor setup - was it a year ago?  Two?  I'm glad we'll see you at the Cove for GS4!  I don't know if I'll be able to get shirts with pockets, but I'll let you know - keep an eye on this thread for developments on that.  Be sure to send your registration in to avoid a late fee and not miss out on the free shirt.

Thanks for the local fresh food info.  

I can't believe we're only around 5 weeks out!  

anyone plan on being there friday morning? wanna do a ab dive to set things off right if ya know what im sayin? if i leave like at 4 am i might be around those parts at around ninish

I will be diving Friday for sure.  I hope to roll in Thursday night.  I hope the dive conditions are like last year!

Matt

We definitely hope for conditions like last year!  I'm sure you'll find someone to dive with on Friday.  Afternoon low will be around 5-6 probably.  So a just-after-lunch dive would catch the top of the tide and nice clean water, or waiting til later could be a nice calm low tide dive before sunset - that's kinda what we did last year the day before the tournee.

Check is finally in the mail    Shirts 2XL and L   

Good job Al,
I was beginning to wonder who was going to give the swim lessons this year

Andy you want to carpool up there?  I will have room for a couple guys in my truck. and can leave/come back whenever.

rich my x factor will fit on ur rack right? if yea then hell yea.

It likes my work area and wants to come back after the event

Don't know if I'm doing this right but here's a picture I took about 2 hrs ago at the Shelter Cove launch ramp.  First salmon of the season so far, heard they landed 5 or 6 total today plus several shakers. 

Yeah!!!!   

How deep are they fishing?  Thanks for the tip.
