Sgt. Pepper there is still room to join is you would like. Just let me know by Wednesday if you are joining us, also if you and Mollie and Ian will join, or just you. I need to call and give a final head count to the Trailer office. Also there are no sheets or pillow, just beds so you need to bring this stuff, oh and ass paper. It would be cool for little riley 7yrs old if Ian came.

The thread says that lodging is $25.00 per person. Does my kid count? Yes, I realize he is a person, but I didn't know if they were calculating it by # of beds used. And Sparky, my wife's name is Michelle.

Adding one more non-Diver to the trailer. My 15 year old Daughter, Heather, is going to get certfied later on this summer.

I also need to ask about: Can we bring our small dog, also a Non-Diver.
He is a Pomeranian who has siezures sometimes and we do not want to leave him at home.

His name is, get this, "Sargent Pepper", For real!

We do not have to bring him, but it would be easier than finding someone to stay at home with him.

The Same woul apply for my 15 year old daughter

Bassman.

Pepper I dont think you will be charged for ian, but if so its not a big deal because the diving will be worth it, but like spark said hes free.

Bass man I don't care if you bring the dog, but run it by sparky he is in charge of the trailer. And as for your daughter fine, the more the marrier.

Sergeant Pepper · Post by **Sergeant Pepper** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:29 pm

Ahhhh, another Beatles fan perhaps? Me and the fam are in. We will not be there Friday, but we will arrive early on Saturday. What time do you all tentatively plan to get started saturday? We will meet you at the trailer in the morning, party and hoop it up through Saturday, and stay through to Sunday afternoon. What can we bring as far as food or beer goes to help out? This is going to be great!

BASSMAN · Post by **BASSMAN** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 6:17 am

Great! I'm bringing The Dog and the Girl $\:D/$

Sparky, are we just going to plan on Lunch / dinner for Friday when we get there?
Tomnic and I will be there around 10:30 or 11:00 am.

we are looking to get a couple of dives in on Friday and then possibly a Friday night dive if the conditions are right.

I know I said I would bring Hot Dogs or Burgers for a BBQ

Can we decide on that as part of the Costco run?

Maybe some Sausages of some sort?

Brats or German?

We still need to figure out what we should bring for the Pot Luck, lunch & dinner on Saturday.

My Daughter is asking about swimming, maybe I should rent her a wet suit and snorkle gear, any ideas?

Diver_C · Post by **Diver_C** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 12:11 pm

Do you-all know what your dive itinerary is for Satruday and Sunday? I would like to dive this weekend, and am interested in your trip, but not for staying overnight. My normal buds are unavailable this weekend, so it would be just me. Might this possible, and do you know what your plans are? Thanks!

Rich

Tom Nic · Post by **Tom Nic** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 12:48 pm

Hey Rich! Great question!

-I'm sure that some of the folks going are familiar with the area and have their plans all mapped out! $\:D/$

I, on the other hand, am neither familiar with the area nor do I have any dive's mapped out! I'll weigh in here, and hope to receive help / input from the more experienced folks going on the trip as to dive sites, etc.

Bassman and myself (and non-diving wives) will be arriving between 10:30 and 11:00 AM on Friday. We both want to get in 2 or 3 dives Friday day, and possibly a night dive Friday. Saturday 2 or 3 dives would be nice as well. Both of us have around 40 dives and I am AOW. We can shore dive, of course, and there is a rumor that Aquanutchuck (whom we have yet to meet) will be there early on Friday with his 16 foot zodiac.

I know it will all work out... if we can't do it here we will of course talk when everyone gets there. It's gonna be awesome!

Tangfish · Post by **Tangfish** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:10 pm

I'm bringing 3 singles and one set of doubles. I'll be in and out of the water all day, everyday. So, get the address of the trailer and just show up. Someone will likely be on their way for a fill or another dive.

Diver_C · Post by **Diver_C** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 7:45 pm

Saturday or Sunday works for me. Not entirely clear where you-all are going to be, but probably listed somewhere here. I've dived only Sund Rock over there. Crummy visibility and lousy weather that day, so wouldn't mind trying it again, or anything else out there for that matter. Did the Rescue Diver class (thanks Calvin), and my next dive will be number 50 - oh boy

Aquanautchuck, If you still have room in your Zodiak I'm sure Tom and I would like to go wth you and Sparky.

Is 4 too many?

Bassman, For Saturday it looks like it will be me, a friend [tenative] you and Tom diving and my GF as boat tender. What sites have you done by boat on the Canal and what is you dive experience? Go ahead and pm me.

If there are anyone else that wants to go out on Sunday let me know.

Sergeant Pepper · Post by **Sergeant Pepper** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 9:42 pm

I had planned for Sunday since I won't be there on Friday. Depends on the time I guess.

sparky · Post by **sparky** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 9:59 pm

Bassman: by all means bring her some gear to swim or snorkle with

as to every thing else Mollie was thinking we should just hold off untill every one got to the trailer and she would make a Costco Run while we were diving

I plan to do most of my diving at sund rock I never can get tired of divingthat site

I am bringing 4 tanks 2- steal 119s and 2 Al 80s

never know what the diving will be like so I always bring lots of tanks

so if you know how to get to sund rock we will be staying in the trailer house in fromnt of the old Hodsportndive shop we will be right on the water.

See you guys thee

I will bring the shirts Sparky, and Maciek and I are shooting to get there by Noon so we'll look for your truck.

Aquanautchuck · Post by **Aquanautchuck** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 7:27 pm

I will be rolling in around 1 pm. I will be in a rv space nest to the office. My truck is a forest green ford with a canopy and my zodiac is black and red. See you all there.

Charles

sparky · Post by **sparky** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 7:53 pm

Charles:
when you get there walk over to the trailer house and let us know that your there and meet the gang then

does any one else plan to be there early in the morning tomorrow or is it just me?

I could use a dive budy if any one can sneak out early if not I can dive solo I have done it before and know this site well

see you guys there

Mollie was thinking she would make a costco run in the early after noon or late morning after she has had a chance to meet with some of you to get a idea what was brought and or forgotten

on the lighter side of this I am packing my truck getting ready to head out every time I walk out side my 3 year old grandson Riley jumps and ask " Are you ready to go?" i think he is as excited as we are to get to the Hood Canal.
