Deb and I will bring some sort of cold salad, pasta or something, since we're a bit short on oven space in the Gator room to heat hot sides. Plus I've got some left over paper plates, bowls, plastic ware, etc. from other gatherings I'll bring. I'll hit Costco to add to that inventory so we don't have to eat off the tables.....no Sandy I do not mean your picnic table!! Don't want to mess up your sleeping quarters :)

Total of 5 in my crew.

4 in our group including Scott and Julie who are now SeaCraft owners in their 21 Seafari. We will have fixings for secret recipe hush puppies and possibly utilize the same for making scallop fritters.

6 adults in my crew most likely will stop in to say hello and make introductions, wouldn't feel right about eating up your guy's food.......

Robert, All are welcome, we have plenty of food planned. Besides you need to help us plan a Cabbage Key/Cayo Costa Gathering in the future.

Appreciate the hospitality!!!
We recently sold our camper and could add to the paper plates and utensils. Also Drinks.......beer wine soda water?

We just need a deck key!

Needle nose pliers work perfectly!!! :) :)

I’m supposed to have a kitchen, I would assume there would be an oven. I was thinking maybe baked beans and whatever else you guys would like. Sometimes we get loaded up on some items and they don’t get eaten, while somethings are in a shorter supply.

This is an impressive group! Me and my first mate will be there! Do we need more dessert, side items, or seafood??

Money, guns and ammunition would be good!! You may have to fend off that one Democrat with the 15 hp pontoon boat that lives up there! :)

Depending how good our scavenger group is, maybe some store bought scallops. Wouldn't want to miss out on Kmoose's scallop fritters - sound so good! Can you make cracked scallops?

Do to circumstances beyond my control my crew and I are having to cancel our reservations for this gathering. My 95 year old mother comes first. Then to make matters worse lost another close friend yesterday. I will not cancel the two rooms reserved until Friday. Hopefully someone left out will pick them up.

Don- 😂 at the FSU watch party the DJ was playing Let’s Go Brandon!! With Ken and crew not able to make it (sorry Ken!), we will definitely need to replace his arsenal that was heading to MacRae’s!

Preview - Hopefully
 

These are from my neighbor a few days ago.

We’re those the last three?

Limited Edition Commemorative T-Shirt
 

Ladies & Gents: I put together a commemorative t-shirt to celebrate our 7th year at MacRaes. Limited quantity and sizes (my apologizes). White short sleeve 50/50 mix with black ink. SeaCraft logo across the front left pocket. $12 per shirt. If interested, please reserve yours via PM. Local pickup at MacRaes.

See your PMs :)

I know it's a bit late, but Skip and I will be looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

Ken, sorry to hear about your friend and hope your Mom is OK. You will be missed.

Carla, Don’t forget Ron too!

Since it has been a while since our last gathering, I decided to make Welly.

See y'all Friday!

I gave Eric & Cindy the shrimp and stone crab claws was planning to bring.
Enjoy.

I love you man! Going to miss seeing you guys..

Nice Ken, real nice! Like Moose says, gonna miss you guys! I guess we are going to have to find a substitute leader to keep us all in line, that was your job as the senior poo bah! :)

That is Grand Pooh Bah!

Ken we will definitely miss you! You’re doing the right thing and there will always be another scalloping gathering!! Thanks for sending those sweet crustaceans! I’m officially proposing a plan to drink a shot every time your name is mentioned at the gathering!

True meaning of "noboner"

Scallop T-Shirt
 

Hey Gang - got a few shirts left, mostly larger sizes if anyone is interested. What’s leftover after this weekend I’d be happy to ship. Just send me your sizes and address and I’ll check out the shipping. Can’t be too much. Hope to see you, Should be a great weekend.

Ill take an XL. If i cant be there i at least want a shirt. Pm sent

Ok, can we agree on a marine vhf channel for the weekend? I’m carrying a handheld and it’s a great way to communicate in the group unless we publish a cell list.

Good idea Ken. I’ll try to remember to bring mine also. Why don’t you pick one and make it official.

How about 8?

We are getting to our river safari rental around 3 tomorrow. I’m bringing our red golf cart to get around in as I yielded to our friends who recently purchased their first SeaCraft. Going to feel strange leaving the FV Melissa J at home for this one.

8 it is then. (Channel 8 on the VHF)

Legendary!

I hope everyone has a safe journey to and from the event! Sure wish I could be there!

Me to boo....:(

Ditto.
Me three...

Gentlemen- we missed seeing you here! Fun was had by all! We formally presented the Bahamas plan for our motley crew on 7/1-7/8/2023!

Where's the Scallop pictures?
