Captains meeting

We will meet in the Schlitterbahn parking (1/2 mile south of the causway on the left) lot at 7AM on Sunday for the Shuttle caravan. There will be blank waivers to sign and we will have a few short announcements. Before 8AM we will head out to Seadrift. We park in the lot next to the baseball field in Seadrift. Andrew Tatton will be there to direct parking. The bus leaves at 2PM - DO NOT BE LATE!

There is an interactive map for the drive up posted here.

The Route

The entire route is posted in Google Earth format as well as in downloadable charts thanks to John Alesch. These are all to be found on the Route page.

Our first camp in at the base of the jetties of the Port Mansfield channel, just before you head out into the gulf - or just after you come in, depending on which way you go.

The Shrimp Boil

The kayak builders bash begins Saturday morning. Our fleet will hopefully be arriving throughout the day. The Shrimp Boil will be at the Bayfront Park pavillion beginning around 6PM.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

Emergency Numbers

The default number for any real emergency is 911
Use the local fishermen and boaters for assistance if you can. They will often help and will likely cost a lot less or not at all. Salvage of abandoned boats is a strange area of the law so beware.
