I feel like I know what your strategy is going to be. Does it ever really change?

Anybody want to give me a boat ride for this? I don't think my strategy of shooting a big goat is going to play out so well during this el nino.

BUMP

New Info added below:
BBQ: At approximately 3:00pm we will start setting up for the BBQ before everyone starts rolling back in. The club will provide several choices from the grill, including fish, hot dogs, and corn on the cob. We will also have some Lobster-fried rice as a special treat. There will be Gatorade and water provided as well, but please bring an assortment of side dishes and other beverages to share with the group.

Let's try to get some people to bring some additional dishes and items to share, including: hamburgers/buns, veggie salad, pasta salad, desserts, maybe some Santa Maria Tri-Tip, and maybe some baked beans... yum!!

UPDATE: Currently, we have about 25 people signed up to compete and many more that indicated they will compete but have just not yet submitted their forms and payment.

Re: Santa Barbara Freedivers 3rd Annual Scramble Meet & BBQ

Attached is the winning design (and only submission) for this year's Club Tournament tee shirt contest.
Hope you all like it.
I had 40 made [sizes Med, Large, XL and XXL]. Thank you VeerOut Project.
Currently we are at 25 registered for the event, so if you want to lock one in you should sign up more sooner than later.
If (and that's a big "if") there are any left over, we will sell them at the event for $15 each.

I plan on entering at least three fish this year. 5 seems like a stretch.
