The bridge is good in any weather...rain just means we won't be HOT.

It could be a parking problem if you show up at 11....
If anyone can't park in normal spaces, do not try to use the boat trailer spaces, as the local cops have been having CARS towed for this.
Closest safe parking is really at the Ocean Mall , which is east down the road beyond the BHB, right at the turn/bend you can see in the distance while driving down the bridge.
It is free, but far enough so that you would have to dump your gear off first, leave it with a friend, and then go park. The walk is really not that big a deal.It is just inconveniant--the reason to show up early if you can

Shaping up to be a great weekend of diving. It will be great to see all our old diving friends and our new diving friends alike
Official Troll Tide is 11:33 AM Plan your dive accordingly. I will be getting Karen's gear down to the water right around 10:30 AM. I want to take her out away from the bridge for a gear check, buoyancy and trim check (She's never been in salt water and she only has cold water experience)
@ Eric,
The event starts when you arrive The party starts after the dive. We'll have an afternoon picnic and everyone can enjoy the afternoon into the evening
@ jbop65,
We'll miss you, but this is not the only one for the year. Nor is it required that I be the one to set it up. Anyone can do this, and it doesn't take 20+ divers to make it fun... Just a few divers you dive with regularly can make the day pretty darned good with a picnic out here
@ Dan,
If Brownies Tooka is something you'd like to have at the party, feel free to invite them.
@ Everyone,
You know the weather can turn on a dime this time of year in Florida. It can be sunny with a small cloud in the distance and 5 minutes later you could be in gusts of 60 with giant hail... Welcome to Summer!
I will be there to procure a pavilion right around 8 AM. If someone beats me to the park, we have always been able top get Pavilion 3 (right next to the bathrooms), and it has worked out great for us in the past.
Take a look at our pot luck and if there is a shortage of something, just let the thread know you will be bringing it!
See you on Sunday!

So what are we short party planners. I pretty much only make meat on the grill and rice so make it something I can buy from Publix or it ain't happening from this bacholer. I intend to get there early then and hang out. Maybe I'll toss a line in the water and see if I can get lucky for a lunch fish to swim by.

Lots of people are sleeping in their cars in the parking lot at MMC. Lot cheaper than camping. Pennecamp is close, but not cheap.. and might not have sites if you have not reserved already. Thanks for helping the whales.
Sleep in cars in the middle of June? There is not enough bourbon in Kentucky to prepare me for that.
