Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

This has gotten to be quite a large happening so this thread is only a logistics thread for the few items we could use some help on. First of all the main festival meal Saturday will be provided all tastes will be covered, trust me the Martha Stewart of Yachting & Camping and her able bodied asst will do the cooking/with assitance- Friday and Sunday plan for yourself. So with this covered, we are asking for folks to bring 1 item only, heres what we need:

1. Potato Salad- current indications are for 60, so its a pile, but I know we have some experts out there with a Mom's recipe but Publix is just fine LOL
2.Coleslaw
3.Baked Beans-some Dr Frank

4.Table-nice big one to put food on --covered by Dr Frank

5. 2-large charcoal grills- Webbers would be perfect, if you bring one, I'll even get your beer. :D

thats it- I wish I could edit longer than 6 hrs, would make this easier

No one should need to do more than 1 item

most other things are covered, lanterns, food,wood,plates cups silverware and stuff, generator, battery charger, camp stoves,shower,bathroom about everything is already in place.

Apparently slips are availible at the Ramada(see other thread for link) for $20 and overnight parking at the Anclote Park ramp is $7 a night and passes can be pre-purchased for you by a memeber bbh57- IM me though.

Call me if you need driving tips, stuck in traffic is no fun. If your flying in call me and I can help steer you to make it easier, as it is not far from Tampa Int. and they have shuttles to New Port Richey.

FAQ Camping/Boating Tips:
1.Stern anchor is required-50' rode at least
2.Thermal Cells- needed it in morning- they work on no-seeum's, also they have a lantern out now, saw it at Sports Auth.
3.Bug Repellent- better safe than sorry- 3-D Ultra Thon or the stuff Capt Chuck posted on the other thread.
4.Tent Stakes- 9" at least-12" steel only found at Sports Auth have looked - but 9" should be OK-6" comes standard but its sand and their marginal
5. Gas and ice are readily availible
6. Only 3 miles to the ramp so leaving stuff in the vehicle in case you need it is fine.
7. Its approx 5.1 miles to the channel headpin for the Ramada, all open water with full moon if at night, pretty awesome.

Alot of thought has gone into making this as easy and pleasurable for everyone, as No Bones, myself, snookerd and Susan have made it a pretty easy camping gig for everyone and nobody is being overwhelmed. So just 1 item if you have it availible. My number is 813-880-0922 my cell is 813 992 5794, its weekend after next so were getting close, we will probably do an RSVP this week as well-BREAKING NEWS- No Bones can actually see his boat :D

Hope this answers alot of questions, post up if you can help out or call me.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Count me in for enough Bush's baked beans for 12 people. (I'm bringing 4 counting me) I also have a 5'x2' table.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Wow the table is covered, that was a big one, the beans are a bonus and we could work this stuff piece meal, thanks

Grills are the biggest thing as I don't have any bigger ones, we need 2 - 1 slow for chicken,dogs and brats and 1 hot for the beef and burgers-plus we have alot to cook.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I have 1 canopy, a couple others would be nice and I'm sure almost everybody has one, but post up if your bringing 1. Again we don't need too many and its one less thing to bring, so once we have 3 say you can leave yours at home and do beans or slaw.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I'm planning on bringing a little Weber gas (10x15) grill/stove we can use and Swabby is bringing a small infared gas grill but he's going fishing and doesn't want to cook.

Both would be tough to slow cook chicken.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

We need a couple bigger ones, since so much other stuff is covered maybe if that was all somebody had to bring. We will need to do quite a bit of chicken and I'm getting whole tenderloins so need some bigger stuff. Susan and I enjoy the cooking, plus I'm good at it :D I can get a grate but its hard to regulate plus the bending over and you need 2 different temps., the burgers, dogs and brats are easy.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Briguy and I are going shrimping Sun., so count us in for as much of the shrimp as possible. We can bring extra pot. salad. My wife is the queen of that stuff. Unless I tow the 18SF, a small grill is all I have.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I knew we would find some speciltist on tater salad, by the way we may be able to shrimp some more that weekend. The full moon is 4 days away so bring your stuff, I will bring my 2 nets and headlamps for maybe a midnight surf and turf snack.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Yea buddy! Will do........

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I will bring a medium sized charcoal weber grill and my Force SS gas grill but it is small.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

How many inches across is the webber??

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I have not bought one yet but the one I saw in Lowes had a cooking area about the size of a large pizza.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Looks like Mike at American marine has a 19" Webber and with Briguy's we are looking good on grills.

Need conformation on a couple canopy's and need some more beans, slaw and tater salad.

Carla and Susan are combining forces on the plates, cups and silver stuff, so I'm out of that [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

FR Frank something for you, put in a call for NO MORE COLD FRONTS, another one coming this weekend 15 to 20 again, this is April maybe somebody forgot. :D

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I can try, but last time I checked Almighty God wasn't really looking for any advice or advisors. :D

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Everyone say a little diddy to momma (mother nature) that this weather lets up for a few days (preferably April 28th and 29th). The little lady and I have a long run to make up the beach, plus I am looking forward to some grouper digg'in and an enjoyable festival on the island. Cross your fingers, rub a rabbits foot, four leaf clover, whatever it takes ;)

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

OK a little up date: Grills are now covered
paper plates and such-covered

Still needed:
Canopies confirmed - I have 1
Could use a little charcoal

Food -- we are pretty well covered on the basic's -beans slaw --- so just bring a covered dish thats a personal favorite, mid-day type snacks like that 3 layer taco thing those are always a huge hit, salsa & chips just anything-

Some suggestions from Susan:
corn on the cob
baked potatoes
other types of salads, fruit, macaroni, Cesar, tossed
mac & cheese


Please email Susan with the dish you plan to bring if possible speterson @ssd.com

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Guys remember to give the Anclote Key State Park Folks a call to give them the heads-up. Here is the info:

Primitive camping is available. Camping is free but before you go you must call 727-469-5942 and check in. Please have your boat registration number, number of campers, arrival and departure dates and a contact phone number in the event of an emergency.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Normally my pot'luck contributions are my world famous deviled eggs but I believe the 48 mile run might make that a mess :rolleyes:
So I'll bring a big pan of my spicey boat wraps sliced up into rings for everyone to nibble on.
Then all I'll need is for Egg'Dog to point in the right direction for some grouper trolling/digg'in for some dinner ;)

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Charcoal is now covered

Sorry to hear about the deviled eggs, but your probably right-how about bubble wrap :D the other things sounds good as does the weather

Appears we may have a very light South wind after the seabreeze, so Citranella candles and such. Thermal Cells are easily availible and apparently work excellent for 15', bring a refill- you just never know about the bugs. We had none but a different wind direction can change things, expecting little from the South at this time.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Hold on now!!!!
That is a 48 mile ride in a SeaCraft, Right???
Those deviled eggs should be just fine.... :D

A path has been cleared and NoBones is ready to take-off.
The Ole' girl has not had this much attention for two years.
See you guys there....Ken

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I sure would like to have them too, even if they are a tad ugly :D

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

I can hook you up with some, just need to run over to crystal beach, whip 'em at my mom's house and bring 'em back to everyone. Now I just need someplace to dock at in that area. Anyone know someone there?

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Honest I love'em but thats a tad overboard, how many in your party though?

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Fat Chanz-I think your right, on going to the trouble of "whipping up a batch". Egg suckin Dog needs his eggs........ :D ESD-Somebody had to say it [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Actually it didn't occur to me but I can cut a swath through a plate, and I do kinda just suck the little boogers in whole. :D :D :D :D

I actually asked Susan to make a batch once just for me, I forget how long they lasted but I can assure you it wasn't 48 hrs [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] BRING'EM ON

Fat Chanz there is ramp at Palm Harbor Resort about 1/2mi south of the pillars.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

The weather is lookin good. I got the new rubrail on. So I am in for sure, well 99%. What is left to bring. I have:
small grill
Canopy(Do I need to bring it)
My wife is making salsa to share
I also have some old orginal cleats, bow light and hause pipes. Does anybody want them?
Anything else I should bring?

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

Canopy would be good, there will be plenty of grills so thinking you may not need that, Salsa's ghood-not sure on the hardware.

Re: Classic SeaCraft Fest--Logistic's
 

A Cashiers check for $100,000.00 :D

See you all there, Ken
