Alrighty it is that time of year to set aside some time to spend with our SB family
so the Saturday after Thanksgiving will be The Annual Turkey fry at Venice Beach w/ a little clean-up twist. The address per our contact AnnMarie, Program Coordinator/Beaches
Sarasota County Parks and Recreation is:
1600 Harbor Drive, Venice FL 34285
A couple of notes on our permit:
Site South of last dune walk-over @ Sharky's Restaurant - south of pier
Use of 2-pole shelters at walkover for fryers (not permitted on beach)
10x20 Tent
No glass, no alcohol
**This is a clean-up so please while collecting your treasure - pick up any trash, line, etc. you find on your dive
Clean-up and luncheon debris may be disposed of in dumpster at S. Broahard Beach, just south of event site on Harbor Drive.
Pack In/Pack Out - Leave no trace
With the move we will have; spacious parking (no worry of a ticket & no looooong walks), showers & toilets, and an easy kayak launch for our kayakers.
A major plus this year, ScubaQuest wants in on the fun so they are going to be supplying a 10'x20' tent and several long tables (for us to place food on). :thumbs-up
We will start the day at 9:a.m. and go 'til about 2 or 3.
As always, everyone is welcome to this event. :turkey: Bring your kids, your non-diving SO's, whoever you'd like. This is always a great time.
If you'd like to join in, make a post and I will add you to the list
As always, keep an eye on this first post for up-to-the dive information.Hotels: Last year some came the night before, if you are thinking of doing this, may I suggest checking expedia.com or hotels.com? I do know the old Holiday Inn is now pet friendly, for those that would like to bring their fur kids.
Boat Rides are going to be provided FOC by Captain Bob, http://www.bluewaterexplorers.com/ He will be coming in as close as possible to pick up and take out to The Boneyard. The boat will act as a kind of ferry service. Captain Bob will have some flags on hand but please try and bring your own. Also, nothing was said of this, but I am sure if you choose to, tips are welcome.
FossilBabe will be on head to help anyone who might have questions on their finds. Additionally, for those that have never dived Venice, you may want to check this out from our very own ReefGuy: Tooth Finding Guide
Canned food drive by KBulla: "If everyone could commit to bringing a canned food or non-perishable food item to be donated to the Harry Chapin Food Bank or Salvation Army soup kitchen, I would be willing to deliver the goods. Things are so lean for even the "average" family, that I have to believe the homeless shelters and soup kitchens are going to be seriuosly hurting this year. Anything we can do for others, especially this time of year, will really make a difference overall." Note, KBulla will be with the fella in the fuzzy speedo
Seriously though, I think we'll set up a box or something under our ScubaQuest tent With that let's get ourselves sorted with who is coming and what they are bringing. We're going to need turkey's, fryers, side-dishes, ice, water, etc.
