2013 Aquasport Octoberfest!

[GoneFission]

OK, we've worked out the details and we are good to go for this year's Aquasport Octoberfest on October 25-26!     We are going back to Southport, NC and the par-tay life will be at the same house as last year.    The weather should be good, with warm days and cool nights.  We will have a get-together on Friday and the big, Gran-inspired oyster/seafood throwdown on Saturday.    :pig:   We will plan to fish on Friday and Saturday, so you can come down and fish either day or both.  :nemo:  :fish:  :nemo:  :fish:  

One change this year - for the last couple years, Lewis/Bridget and Scott have forked over the $$$ for some excellent food/arrangements (including the world's best cheesegrits!).    :chef:  We passed a hat each year, but came up a bit short...     I'm sure we all agree that these nice folks should not have to pay for the food we all enjoy out of their pocket, so we are asking for $50 per registrant for those who will be joining us.   That will give our social directors a budget and enough funding to make a plan.  It's $50 per registrant, so the Admiral is covered at no additional charge if she comes along (this is in keeping with Navy tradition - have you ever seen an Admiral pay a check?).    

So mark those calendars now for October 25-26; it's going to be another great Aquasport reunion - see you there!

Mark your calendars, and please attend

Thanks!

OK, so if I was to fly on back there, what would be the Airport of choice?
What area should I be looking into?

Thanks

You fly into Wilmington NC, about 30 minutes from Scott's house and very close to Southport.

[gran398]

Yep, fly right on in to Wilmington, ILM! Connect through ATL (Delta) or CLT (US Air)....55 minutes from ATL, 40 minutes from Charlotte.

There is a very special prize for the participant who comes the longest distance. Not sure what that prize is yet but I must tell you our bud Lewis is quite inventive

Maybe you can coordinate with Bondobill, he is thinking of coming too!  

Hopefully the Florida brethren will come up, the New England brethren will come down..... and join us !!  

We have some new members from the Carolinas...bring your boats and head on over!!

This adult event is open to all members, their wives and significant others. We have a GREAT time, the weather is gorgeous, and we eat like kings and queens!

Man...I look forward to that weekend more than any of the year :flower:

Ya'll come!!

I have limited wireless for a couple more days.
Looks like Delta flies into your airport.
Once I am home I will figure it out.
Scotty, what hotel is close to where we will be?

Thanks Bryan

[gran398]

Yep, it is Delta and US Air to ILM.

We are checking hotel discounts and rates today, will post back.

Thanks! :flower:

[icemanbryan]

OK, great.
Thanks very much.

OK, so if I come back, someone will take me fishing?
What about rods/reels, should I bring my own reels?
What about terminal tackle, just buy some back there?
Just asking

Thanks Bryan

There will be several boats for you to pick from.  You are welcome on mine.  We will have all the gear.  All you will need to do is climb aboard
