This is the plan. If likely to come, please specify whether more than just yourself.

If I can get some kind of a headcount I can do some recon within the next couple of weeks and find a place that can handle the group unless someone else wants to do that.

Anyone?

Was mentioned Saturday at 2. Location to be determined.


However, I could vote for just a tad later for us that are boating in on Saturday. Slack (high) tide is at 2 and I've heard it can be a bitch getting in. Suppose I could bow in without much problem, but would prefer stern in. But planning on it.

Current calms down last third of the cycle. Plus you'll be a little bit out of the main flow.

Jay,



Good point, however, I'll take all the help I can get. If needed I can bow in, a bit easier with current and wind.


Looks like I'll get there somewhere around noon and can access things. Looking forward to it.

Hi Ted,
As they say timing is everything. Unfortunately, as much as I was hoping to attend, evening plans back home will preclude my being there. Hopefully, this will happen again in the future. Hope everyone has a great time together.

It looks like every other tide is only a half tide. I coming up on the 9th. It looks like the noon and 5pm tide change is slightly over 1'. Does that substantially reduce the tidal current overall?

I had originally said I would attend, but family activities now preclude attending.

Yes you are correct for that day.

The Anclote doesn't really flow much water unless it rains a lot. It's more of a "tidal basin" of sorts most of the time.

Ok guys, it's down to the wire pretty much. Either Friday or Monday/Tuesday I plan on going into Tarpon springs and see about a reservation.
So far I only count 8 which means we really don't need a reservation.
I have:
Ted =2
Capt Jack =2
SeeVee =2

JLeonard =1

IF I MISSED someone please type up asap.

IF you have not decided, you can only procrastinate another couple of days.
Come join us.

Happy New Year everyone.
See ya on the sponge docks.

Sorry, I cannot make it on 1/11

Despite best intentions...cannot join you on 1/11.

Hope there will be another "winter" get-together.

Looks like we won’t be in the Tarpon Springs area on that date. We will be in St Pete area by boat.

It’s an exercise in futility in try to plan these outings, Don and Larry do a great job on the Ft Pierce gathering, a thankless job. It’s made more difficult because boaters won’t commit and then complain when they can’t get in.

Happy New Year all.

Bigfish,


There's a lot of truth to that. Not easy to organize even the simplest of outings.


However, I've greatful for the folks like Jay (and yourself in other venues) for organizing this. I've been there many times, and realize that it can be a challenge.


Looking forward to this one.

Great. You’re in.
No decision yet on location. I want to wait a couple of days to get a headcount. If the group gets larger we may need reservations. If it stays like it is we can go anywhere.
I don’t care where we go because I can go there anytime.
Demetrius or Costas is what I would recommend but lots of people like Rusty,s and Hellas

If this link works, it's the approach to the Municipal Marina at Tarpon Springs.
Taken from "Sea Level" my 17 ft center console.
Shows the docks and the last couple of minutes of the approach.
Ted and SeeVee hope it is of some usefulness to you.

Edit: it works!

I am going to go Monday or Tuesday into the village and talk with Dimitries to see if we need a reservation for as many that have signed up by then.


Was just at Rusty's for lunch and they really don't have much other than fried fish/food you can get anywhere along any coast. Dimitries is authentic Greek and when in the Sponge docks as they say.

For those who have never been there, expect to pay $5 for parking (all day)in one of the various lots.

Anyone else who plans on attending please post asap.
Thanks.

It looks like there's adequate room and pretty straightforward.
