Sink-o de Mayo '09 - May 8-10 - Save the Date!

[DebbyDiver]

Brian, Carmen is not coming, I knew that but she asked me not to post it until you knew. Now you know. She's staying in CA an extra day.

I will be there, I promise not to get on another bicycle until AFTER Sink-o! :shocked2: I can't possibly miss another great trip this Spring due to injuries.

I am bringing my single air mattress so it doesn't take up much floor space. :blinking:

Please PM the house address to me so I can get it into my GPS. :kiss2:

Without having to read five pages of posts...what is everyone diving on Sunday? I just checked my reservation, and I am doing the reef dive??? I thought we were all doing a wreck dive Sunday morning...but I'll go with the flow (and the group!)

Y'all have fun on Saturday while I'm at work. :depressed:

Oh wait, let me fix that.

YAY I HAVE A JOB YAY I AM STILL WORKING AND I STILL HAVE A JOB WITH BENEFITS!

Nope, better stick with y'all have fun on Saturday while I'm at work. :depressed:

Hi there,

Had a great great time at last year's "Sinko de Mayo" in Key Largo/Tavernier, and recently several buddies asked me whether I had info on this year's event. Since I didn't, I decided to get the ball rolling myself. :cool2:

Sinko III will be May 8-10!

Last year's model worked well, so I say we repeat it. Lodging arrangements should be similar to last year, and Capt. Gary of Conch Republic Divers is onboard as well.

I believe that last year's schedule was:
- Sat morning: Duane/Bibb
- Sat afternoon: Spiegel Grove/reef
- Sun morning: Eagle/reef

Don't necessarily need the same schedule, but in the theme of "Sink-O", let's keep a focus on the heavy metal and do some wreck diving!

Looking forward to a great mini reunion in the Keys (just hope that this year I won't have to come straight from MIA and spend the weekend jet-lagged... )! See you in May!

Here's the links to register, added for your convenience, keep in mind that even though the price says $80 ConchRepublic will honor special SB pricing as follows:

Saturday May 9th

• 8:30AM Bibb/Duane
• 1PM Spiegel Grove
• 8:30AM Reef
• 1PM Reef

Sunday May 10th

• 8:30AM Eagle

Please note, Kawamas/SpearGirl is putting a party on Saturday night :bounce2: This is for ALL who are attending Sink-O - even if you aren't staying at Kawama Please have a look at the list of who is bringing what, decide what you'd like to bring and post up - this way we will know what is on the menu and Becky will have a headcount for steaks :drooling:. Also from Becky; as you come to the gate you will tell the guard you are there for the Sinko Party in R5, He will give you a pass to let you in and give you directions to R5. Go behind the building of (R5) you will see a Big Tiki Hut.

Deepstops got any suggestions for Friday night? Snooks is nice and outdoors by the water and wont cost a bunch.:cool2: and right across the street from Kawama's on US1.

Please Read:
I have a list of who is staying in most places but need to make sure it is correct before Friday. I will be spearing on Friday morning and will NOT be at Kawama's to help you guys out when coming in.

Will each person who rented a unit please give me a PM on who you have staying in your units with there real names. I also have a few still looking for a place to crash so please help me out here if you have room.

Thanks so much for your help:kiss2:

Oh and Good Morning Everyone .:blinking:
