Hi Dale,
No kidding -- it's just around the corner!
I was comparing notes with Eric the other day and here's what I'm thinking:
I'm getting to the campsite early Friday morning so I can set up my tent and stake out the best location for us. I'll try to be there most of the day to meet and greet people as they arrive.
Friday night we head out for lobsters.... If it's logistically feasible, we can convoy down to Palos Verdes (about 1 hour's drive) where there are a lot of good spots to chose from. Alternatively, we can head out to any of about half a dozen sites in Malibu that should be promising, especially that early in the season.
Saturday morning might be a good time to check out Point Dume or Leo Carrillo state beach and if anyone wants to make a second dive, there's a couple of other good spots that are close by.
I'm planning to bring a bunch of lobsters with me, so even if the conditions aren't favorable for hunting (which is unlikely), Saturday night will be a mega lobster feast!
Looking forward to it!!
Jon
