Don-that's a roger! All of our northern brethren are invited as they have been in the past. If oldbluesplayer can show up from the very far Northeast, then anybody should be able to get to the gathering! I think if it was 35° where I was at versus a minor chance of rain this weekend in Sebastian Florida I would be at the gathering!:confused:

Ok kids....

It is upon us! :D:D

Friday night, everyone on their own..:rolleyes::)
Saturday night, pot luck at Pooh Bah command post !

I plan on bringing my usual 10-12 lbs. of jumbo's
to steam up. (I have the steamer for anyone else that may need it)
Capt. Chuck is bringing a bushel of fresh corn..
Patti is making the ole' family recipe for Macaroni salad..

With the weather being ify I will be picking up a canopy at
Sam's or Harbor Freight for extra cover.

Sooo bring it on!!

Alright Ken! .....The "spark plug" returns..... :D:D! The Wood clan will be bringing potato salad and fresh fish.

Capt. Ken and Admn. Snookerd
 

The Engle-Rios-James-calotta-lands, will provide the old Ecuadorian/Panamanian favorite, Cheviche' - prepared Hoosier style (which my Cuban and Porto Rican friends rave about!) as an appetizer. Additionally, we will prepare Italian Bread Crumb dusted fried grouper and mangrove Snapper nuggets, showered with those 70 cent a piece limes (what's with that, did Sandy use them ALL up in his Mojitos?)

Git ready to get ready!

I think it's still snowing in Marblehead!

Sounds tasty, Lt. 'tackie. I had an ag dept dude inspecting my lime tree yesterday. Caught him walkin in the yard and made sure he was just inspecting the leaves for the nasty Asian Citrus Psyllids. Dont need these badges sneaking off with my summer fish dressing/tequila accoutrements. Last winter 2 big as 'coons trashed my entire guava crop in a week. They wore black masks not badges... I thought the guys in the black masks were the good guys...

Looks like I can't be there for most of the activities. I have to help my daughter move out of her dorm this Friday and Saturday. I may be able to make it Saturday late in the day. I will bring oysters if I can.

On another note the dolphin run is happening. Went out Monday out of Sebastian and caught dolphin from 150' to 450'. Plus a bonus blue marlin.

So if its fishable get out there.

"Plus a bonus blue marlin"

Bonus? That might be an understatement!! :)

Making the Cedar Key run for clams this morning. I'll bring a steamer\frier as well.

We are 100% a go to leave tomorrow, regardless of the forecast. It may slid just north.

Ok, I've made it back to Florida! My son and I are planning to come down Friday afternoon and hopefully stay on anchor for the night. We need to leave in the morning, I have to be back in Fort Lauderdale late Saturday afternoon for big boat obligations.

I was going to run down the ICW from Satellite Beach, but I think it would be wise to launch at Long Point. Anybody have parking space at their site?
