@ Scott/Truck - One of my turkeys is a bit over 15lbs - that is the smallest they had left :shocked2: I',m thinking we can cut off a leg or something before frying and it should be fine?

Nope. No preop surgery for the bird. A little bit bigger bird takes a little bit longer. Ive had a 20 lbder in mine before, and didnt have a problem with it. Took a little bit over an hour I believe.

Halloween is over. Take off the hockey mask and step away from the chainsaw.

I am new to the turkey fry and would like to come see what its all about. The fry seems pretty staright forward, like a big potluck, but what about the diving. I'm guessing we are responsible for our own equipment, but how deep is the diving and is there anything special I should know? Is it a shore dive and will there be groups going out or do we go by ourselves?

You've got it right. If you'd like we could use a couple bags of chips (on sale at Publix) and a couple liters of soda.

Yes, we usually dive in groups (some do go on their own), the water is 'round about 17', and yes it is a shore dive (straight out from where we will be frying and eating).

The viz reports that I've gotten for today were <5 ft @ Service Club, 2-3 ft @ Spanish Rocks. The wind is gonna shift around from the NE to the East tomorrow and be less than 10 mph, surf 1/2 ft, tide outgoing. Beach water temp @ the Sharkey pier weather station was 70 degrees today, air temp upper 50's early to upper 60's around noon. Dress appropriately!

@ Scott, Sh@rkW@tcher is bringing ketchup for your fries and I am bringing some sea salt and pepper.

Trick - I found some labels so if I get a sec tonight I will make the name tags you were hoping for

The truck is packed and ready to roll. We're headed down in the morning... rolling in about 9ish.

Fryer, gas, oil, sodas, potatoes... all ready!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
