Looking for a honest assessment. In large groups my deafness can stick out because I can not hear verbal instructions that may be given on the fly. Most of NCKA have been cool about helping me out on various events. But it gets not fun for me it I am constantly out of the loop. I have thick skin and if you think I will have difficulty on the trip and keeping up with the events telling me now will save me $800 and a load of frustration!

Any input welcome. Thanks!

You did great with us on the salmon charter!! Youd do great here. I mostly use hand signals anyway.

I think you'd be fine, Ryan. Most of the time we are out OTW fishing in small groups (much like any other Saturday/Sunday). The only time we are all together is during dinner.
Thinking about the logistics, it may be harder to hail the crew onboard when you need more bait or a fresh beer or need them to pickup your stringer of fish for icing/prep. Because that is normally communicated via VHF radio. But, chances are you will be fishing nearby a friend or 2, who could simply relay your message to the crew. I've been thinking about getting one of those waterproof notepads & pen (Rite in the Rain brand) because that may improve comms OTW. Or...we'll need to learn more hand signals than the one Craig taught me (shark) hahaha.

I don't think there will be any issues, but I also think we should check with the captain/crew, as ultimately they are responsible for all of our safety.

I don't know....last year when Pole Pole and I hopped on the OEX trip the crew didn't even let us help with the loading, if I recall correctly. I'm pretty sure they did EVERYTHING, including taking the kayaks and loaded carts down to the boat.
