gentlemen, 7 days to go!
status - here is where we are at. everyone is still on track, meaning we will be packed in like sardines with 26 guys. when we board, i am going to have a crisp $100 bill as a refund for each one of you. if two guys, for any reason, have to back out, even minutes before we leave, they can still get a full refund. we are paid for 24.
cell numbers - i need everyone's cell phone numbers. please ping me back with that info .
dinner - sunday june 15th (father's day), miguels cochina at 7pm, meet at the bar at 6pm. let me know if you can make it. i have a table for 12 reserved. it will be a busy night for the restaurant, so let me know as http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/27/313271/restaurant/Point-Loma/Miguels-Cocina-San-Diego
breakfast - for early risers, on your own, 6am at the denny's at 1601 rosecrans. http://locations.dennys.com/CA/SAN-DIEGO/247894/
boarding call - 8am. the boat is docked at the end of dickens street, behind the vagabond hotel. the spirit of adventure has the dock all to herself.
driver's license and passport - bring these, if nothing else!
fish handling on the boat - the crew will gut and gill our fish for us. if we get into a wide open bite and fish stack up in the kill box, feel freel to grab a knife! just don't stick yourself!
off loading fish at the dock - the plan is to have the SOA crew and the 5 star crew off load the fish at 5am, saturday, when we return. we should be able to sleep in a little because they will have to hose down the deck before we off load tackle and personal gear. if you want your fish whole, you will probably have to get up at 5am, go to your truck, grab your ice chests and snag some fish before the crews are done.
breakfast - back to denny's!
5 star - sarah will have to figure out a "filet" price. guys that need to hit the road go first. guys that need to catch a plane, make sure you give yourself enough time to not miss your flight. my brother and i will hang out until the end. we should all be done before noon.
Is it too late for me to hop on a plane? :(
Have been ready to go for about a month. ;D
You have my cell number.
Won't be at Miguel's.
See you Monday morning.

Not at all, Sal. But we're going to be fishing from a boat. ::)
I am tentative for Miguel's. My boat won't be in until around 5-6 PM on Sunday. Either way if I can't eat with you guys, at least I will get to meet you all in person. I will also have some homemade wind-ons in 30 , 40 and 50 lbs test for some to try on your trip if you like.

Getting out of Podunk is real excitin'! I'm surprised I'm still sleeping at night.
Okay, Dominick, are you ready?
I've tuned my reels, now it's time to tune a fish. :P :-*
You folks have a fun and safe trip! When you return, I'll lecture you on the importance of having timely colonopathy exams. Good luck and God bless you all!

Skip me, I'm a colon cancer survivor and get mine done biannually.
I'm still planning on driving down on Monday. Boarding at 8 just means I'll leave earlier which is ok 'cuz I probably won't sleep too well on Sunday night anyway!
