GS9 - Super Long Report on Page 61 - NCKA Rules!

Excited! I will be there sometime Wednesday morning. If you run into me, I can read lips fairly well for most people but some people I simply can't read. And names are very hard for me to lip read, so it might be best to type it out on my phone if I don't catch it. See you all there! I'm all loaded up and ready to roll!

Loaded up and ready to roll at first light tomorrow. Should be at tides inn by mid afternoon tomorrow. Good times and great friends ahead.
As Eric mentioned earlier, everyone please drive safe, especially on the road in from garberville. And Defanatly be sure your breaks are in good order for the final decent into the cove. If need be, take a few moments to pull over and let them cool.
Stay safe my friends, good times ahead. 

See Ya There,

The bad news:  forecast isn't looking as 'epic' now...  There are minor disturbances moving through this week, and Thursday bumped up and looks a bit sporty with some south wind.

The good news:  forecast still looks way better than it has on average for the past three weeks!  Friday and Saturday look like the best days, and that's great timing for the opener and tourney day.

It's like this - the ocean is in charge.  Be prepared to get wet and cold, and please focus on learning the layout and potential hazards of the Cove before you launch - this includes people who have been to previous events.

More updates as they become available.

+1  My breaks got soft when I was driving that road in my old Ford Focus.  The engine was too small to serve as an effective break with an overloaded car. We had to stop twice to let the brakes cool .

Just wondering.  I've heard some people say that Verizon cell service works at Shelter Cove.  Does anybody know if the Verizon data works over there?  My cell phone is using ATT but I have an Ipad that uses Verizon and could make and receive calls from home via my MagicJack app as long as I have WiFi or data cellular.

My Verizon iPhone can make and receive calls and texts but my data doesn't work and campground doesn't have wifi.

My Verizon data works sporatically on my Samsung Galaxy 5.  If you have US Cellualar then your good to go.

In cases like that, it is a good idea to down shift to a lower gear to help with the load of breaking. It is a good idea in general. I down shift into 3 rd gear below 40 and 2nd gear at 25 to 30. Try to keep the rpms below 5/6 k so that I am not putting to much of a load on the transmission as well.

Thanks guys!  Good to know.

Holy Crap, Batman!  I just got a quote of $3.79/bag for anchovies at the Shelter Cove General Store up the hill about 5 minutes from the campground area - that's a great price!

I encouraged them to have plenty on hand for us.

I bought new underwear, just for this!

Care to share a pic with us ?    Cochino.  TMI !!
Curious about Cabeza de Martio's view is on this one ?

I was wondering about the anchovies situation. Thanks.

Good to hear on the anchovies.  I'll be picking mine up at the store on the way in, about 5 miles from the campground.  My camper has a small freezer I can let folks stow some in, but I am not sure how much room will actually be in there.  First dibs goes to my team mates, then if there's room, I'd be happy to stow some in there.
