I AM IN !!!!! Infact I am dragging Slate with me so I know I can go
Working two jobs can be a little overwhelming at times but I am getting it worked out. I will be staying after the event for a couple of days just to chill out and have some fun with my boy's.
I can bring a Turkey and some Corn on the Cob. Can't wait to see everyone:kiss2:

Party is planned for Phil Foster Park at Blue Heron Bridge. We'll dive based on high tide, then get food/party going.
Dive: Arrive around 3:30/4:00. High tide at the bridge that day (Saturday, November 28) is 4:43 PM. Generally, you hit the water about 1/2 hour before high tide, and exit about 1/2 hour after. Jim stretches his dive to a solid two hours.
Party: The food and partying will likely get going about 5:30/6:00. Park is open until 10:00 PM.
Rain/Snow/Sleet/Hail/Hurricane: We'll ONLY head to my house (10 minutes away) if either the weather does not cooperate, or, we keep going so late that we have to move venues.

I'm not sure if I know any of you guys, I am very bad with names much less SB avatars but I will definitely be there and hopefully bring some more people along. If there is anything that needs to be brought, let me know! I hope to meet everyone there...

Hi folks, it looks like Donna and I will be able to make the dive and picnic. I have one question, though. The Phil Foster Park web site Phil Foster Park says the park is open from sunrise to sunset. Sunset is about 5:20pm on the 28th. So, is the park web site wrong, or did someone get permission for us to stay after the park closes?

Yeah, looks like you guys are right.
So, then the question back for attendees--do you want to have an earlier afternoon fry/party, then dive and head out immediately after?
OR, dive, then head to my house after for the "party"? I have a grill and backyard that can accommodate the group, and am 10-15 minutes due west......and, of course, no pesky alcohol regulations (well, besides the one that states you must offer some to the hostess. ).
So.......time to vote.

zaberman---welcome to the group!!! If you look at many of our profiles, you may recognize a few from the bridge if you go often. Cooltech (Jim) is there a lot, especially. Come as you are; bring whatever works for you--if you're not much of a chef, looks like maybe some dessert items can fill in, or chips. I'm always interested in cookies and brownies..... mmmmm.
