Official Tiki Wrap-up Post

Sledge, 

We talked for a bit, I offered you a beer but you said you were doing something a little bit harder   

I'd totally be down for Trinidad!  I won't be able to drive out until late FrIday night though.  Unfortunately I need to work Friday but I can try to get off early. 

Send me a PM if you are still game. I'll bring the beer, squid, and pile worms!

My two cents and pics.
Eric, we really do appreciate all you do to put on these events!. Racinrob, thanks for the camping spot.Thanks to (??) for the tasty chicken on a stick and other tasty goodies.
Best wishes Ben. We'll miss you cause you're you - and because without you playing, Rich/MontanaN8v will get more plinking, raunchy song time 

lot's of pics...

Erik,

Thanks you so much for organizing these events and getting such fine sponsors and prizes..

Congrats to the winners Jimbo, Ash, Kat and david.

This was my only event in the Yakhopper series that I could make this year but  I came with great anticipation....I was so looking fwd to seeing the ole gang and enjoying the comraderie.
In spite of getting only 3hrs sleep, coupled with the fact that I had to fly to NY that nite, I was determined to press thru the fatigue and get into some stripers.

didnt catch anything but really enjoyed peddaling out with my buds Hobiedave, Martin, Sonny  and Rey out along Empire cut to Mildred Isl.. the early morning fog was so picturesque. glad to score a cool raffle prize.

great community spirit and sharing.. cheers to all who made this happen.

lots of mug shots...  and other pics...

Got a little carried away with my new toy...but I can never get enough pics of the moment...

my fingers are cramping...

Only pic I wished I would've got was when I heard, "Hey Sledge do you know what time it is???"  Yakhopper cruizing back to bring on the Good Times...  Thanks Eric and Fishermans Whare house for makeing  Tiki Laugan Happen!!!

First off Thank you Eric for all the time you must put into these!!. Thank you to all the sponsors who also put out for these events. Our first event we were able to make was fantastic.  Started off a little rough, Robyn was not able to get OTW with us, and late, but knew we were there when I got the hairy eyeball, WTF , oh new guy look from Mooch when I pulled in the wrong way.    A quick explanation and clarification from Eric and we were getting ready. I told the Fam you know your late when the person taking the paperwork is OTW before you. We rolled out just in time to see ASH catch her fish .  Caught my first Stripper about 100yards up and then drifted along the rest of the day. Turned to find my oldest pulled up next to Sledge and he had not only caught his first bass, he had to hand line it in.  3rd fish hes done that with. Hm-mm think I see a handle for him.  My second son caught his stripper at 12:30, nothing like cutting it close lol and we headed in. Everyone we ran into was friendly and talkative and helpfull. Thank you Mooch, Kat  and others for making sure Robyn felt welcome. We are looking forward to more events in the future.
