[Bill B]

Alan can you add me to the waiting list......TY....Bill

[alantani]

will do.  i've been so busy that i haven't had time to sort all of this out. 

[alantani]

gentlemen, i'm finally getting to the point were we will start collecting checks.  the total cost of the boat ride is $67,110.  divided 24 ways it comes out to $2796.25 per person (or about $350 per day).  with a 15% tip, i'm going to call it $$3216 total.  if you would, please send in a check for half that amount, or $1608.  i will be sending out emails to each of you.  i would like to collect the final check a few months before the trip. 

for those on the waiting list, i deeply apologize for the delay.  it's a pretty stable group, but life does happen so spots might open up.  if one does, i will let you all know immediately.  thanks!  alan

[Bill B]

Checks in the mail!  Bill

I know we are still about 7 weeks out.  I checked with the SOA and as of today there will be no CV-19 test required and fuel surcharge will be $20 per day. 

As with my old sergeant used to say, "What I'm telling you was true 10 minutes ago and maybe subject to change in the next 30 minutes".  Bill

[Ron Jones]

30 minutes? I know that wasn't the Navy. If I heard something 10 minutes ago it DEFINITELY wasn't true anymore!

gentlemen.   i received a call from melanie at fisherman's processing today regarding our reservations.   we will be allotted only five "same day" reservations.

our next option was "next day" service.  melanie tells me that our fish will likely not be ready the next day, but actually the day after.  for the eight of us from the bay area, that means two extra nights in san diego.  that likely will not work. 


right now, the plan is for me to drive back to san diego the next week with a u-haul van and all the ice chests, load up the fish and drive back.  this situation might change depending on the amount of fish caught by our boat and others, but i'm thinking that this is the best bet. 

i'm not sure if five star (619) 299-9996 or mario's at sportsmen's seafood (619) 224-3551 has any availability this late, but feel free to contact them.

Wow, getting a little silly.
