Hello Alan,
We are working on the 2020 schedule because some of our passengers (fire
fighters) have to turn in their vacation time a year ahead
and we are already getting calls for next year.
We have to switch your trip with the Grady White Owners to make it work. We currently have your
date as follows:
Oct. 21 to Oct. 29, 2020. Sorry to put this on you so early (you haven't
even fished this year) but all other boats already have their 2020
schedules up.
Please let us know if that works.
Thank you.
Annemarie
This fits my schedule quite well
Jack
I'm in! Works for me!

Hello Alan,
I just talked to the Charter Master of Grady White. It turns out I misunderstood when we discussed the 2020 date. He
does not want to switch to the earlier date (I thought he wanted to). So the other option that would work with Bill's treatment
plan is switching the AVET trip with yours. That would put your trip from Oct. 1 - 9, 2020.
I am sorry about the confusion. What do you think of the above?
Best,
Annemarie
Put me in coach. Works for me!
Mike G
eek!
Jack
I'm sorry, I'm out since I'm going this year.
Alan, can you put me on the SOA list for next year?
--Rich
I would love to go but my funding situation is really bad.
I'm done with the move and missed everything this year. I'm in come Heck or High water!
The Man
Regardless of dates, I'm in if the list has already begun....

Alan, please sign Lee up. I'll cover him for next year as I'm taking his spot this year
I'll have to do some major politicking to make 10/1-10/9 work.
I'll have a strategy worked out by late September.
Jack
With the earlier dates, I am out for 2020. Damn, I liked the later dates.
On for 2021
Happy Birthday to me! Looks like I will be spending my Birthday [10/1] leaving San Diego to fish. Sweet.
I can't make it, my 10 day gets back on 10/7. I needed the SoA trip to be moved out to the end of Oct/beginning of Nov for me to go.
Those dates would always work better for me too.
Put me in, coach!
Hopefully I'll have all the kids married off by then.
GA Mike
Put me on the list. The dates work for me.
Don
don, you have a pm!
I'm in Boss! - Jimmer
gotcha!
Put me down Alan
we are now october 2-10, 2020!
I'm in.
Wai
I'm still in no matter what the dates are
Put Lauren and myself down please
Thanks for putting on the wait list Alan. I'm really looking forward to fishing with you guys again. I sure miss the 5 day trips to Cedros and Benitos.
Any chance I can get on a wait list?
My 10 day is from 9/27 - 10/7 so maybe I'll see you guys out there... I've seen the SoA on my 10 day before!
Hey Mark
Would be cool to say hey across the rail! Hopefully I can get on from the wait list!
Are there any open spots yet? I went two years ago with the group and I am dying to return! Let me know !
Eric
there are not. we have a number of veterans returning from previous years. i will get you on the standby list. even that one is getting long. i'll keep you posted!!!!
Just a question...With people having to fly in for the trip what precautions should you take while on the plane? I was trying to get someone to get on a plane to help me work on my house and was trying to figure out what the best was to do?
Hope everyone is staying safe
Ed
Darn,
I would like to fish with you guys but it looks like we have conflicting schedules as usual. I'm setting up a Mag Bay trip in mid to late October depending on the others schedules. We will Fly to Loreto stay at my place there some time, hit Mag Bay 2-3 days and return to Loerto and fly out.
Covid depending of course with the boarder crossings.
Hello there Alan,
End of October would have worked a little better for me ( a few more weeks to recover ). But October 2nd to the 10th will work just fine.. looking forward to fishing with all you guys.
V/R
Tomas
I'm just glad to see that you are up and around!!!⁰
What does the bait situation look like this year?
The return date sucks, I would rather loose my first BFT on my B-day than return to port.... ;D
It's getting close.
:( Unfortunately, I am out...
...wife said that even if she agrees to me going, I WILL need to quarantine for 2 weeks afterwards. Three weeks+ away from all household responsibilities exceeds any brownie points that I may have or now any point in the near future.
Hopefully, things calm down and I can get back on for 2021.
I am out also. I will be driving my wife to Madison for radiation treatments following her recent (and successful) breast cancer surgery. The covid alone would probably be reason enough to miss this year with the travel involved, but hopefully we will have a vaccine and be past that for 2021. Have a great trip everyone! - Jimmer

Hey Wai,
If you're on a boat with 24 folks for 8 days that seems like a quarantine in itself! If nobody is sick or gets sick on the trip you and all of us have already quarantined for the majority of you wifes requirement. The incubation period is usually quite a bit less than 14 days in any case. Lauren and I are very sad you won't be able to go this year. Sure hope we get to go!!!!

Good point.
This is different than most situations where people choose to engage in a high risk activity. In most situations, your choice increases the risk of infecting others in your household and community without their consent. In this case, you will have greatly improved odds (but not 100%) of knowing if you need to quarantine and test before you hit the dock, and can decrease this risk.
But please make an informed decision on your own personal risk. We are in an unusual situation nowadays. Discussing the best available scientific evidence is considered by many (including some folks here) to be a political statement. So I am biting my tongue. But I feel I have an obligation to say the following (Caveat: I am not a medical professional - so do your own research):
I think that it is pretty cut and dry that any epidemiologist would consider a long range trip a high risk activity, where many, if not most of the passengers will become infected if an unknowingly contagious passenger boards. There are several anecdotal stories of outbreaks on long range trips on web forums. I could not find any comment from the operations or landings confirming or denying. It is hard to tell how much weight to put on unconfirmed web posts, but no outbreaks at all seems a bit unlikely. You could always call the landing directly and ask if you want more data.
You need to consider not only the risk of dying from this bug (pretty low but but significant if you are not in a high risk group, and can get pretty high if you are in the wrong risk group), but also the risk of significant residual damage from the infection and immune response. The experts are still wrestling with the numbers of how many, how bad, and how permanent, but it is not looking pretty.
I am not telling you what scientific evidence to believe, or what decision to make. Just trying to contribute to an informed decision.
I doubt that any of this will add to my popularity here, but I feel it is my obligation to speak up. I have found that I have taken a liking to all of you knuckleheads :)
For those of you that have chosen to go, I sincerely hope you have a safe trip.

As long as we play by the rules we have the right to our own opinions and should not have to keep quiet. But no politics.
The whole idea of it sort of gives me the creeps.

Yeah...you're going to have to tie your own bimini twist this year. ;)
Well I'm going even if I have to drive the 2200 miles from GA to SD. Fortunately I have O Neg blood type which seems to be a low risk group for the virus. I've already had 5 fishing trips cancelled this year, and at age 71 I don't have all that many more fishing trips in my future. I also have an extra bed at the Ramada on Rosecrans if anyone needs a place to crash Oct 1st. (The Vagabond is full). I'm on the same floor as some guy named Stanley Tani.
I'm arriving around 11:15 AM on flight DL 798 from ATL. Should hit the Ramada around noon. Anybody want to meet for lunch?
GA Mike
Dang, I,m gonna try practicing on land. At least I won't have to bring extra non-spinning reels! Still wish you were going.
Gentlemen, I am out.
A few months ago, the opportunity arose for me to apply to present my ideas for future submarine operations. No one was more astounded than me when I was selected to be a main presenter. Apparently, my ideas have been found to have merit as my company has been approached to start work on maturing the concept.
This program will increase the US warfighting capability, make the lives of sailors significantly easier and has the potential to save billions of tax dollars. The schedule was firmed up this morning and it interferes with the SOA trip. As much as I love you guys, this work has to take precedence.
Maybe 21 will be my year,
Ronald Jones
we'll miss you!!!!!
