Tampa Bay Frogman Swim - still need kayaker help!

Post by BigFlyReel »

We could still use a few more open-water-experienced kayakers for the Tampa Bay Frogman Swim, Sunday 1/19. Need to be at the Gandy early, and out at Picnic Island late morning.

Go to http://www.imathlete.com/events/EventOv ... 8885267718" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to register as a kayak supporter. Questions, drop me an email at [email protected].

I am already signed up. I was wondering who else from PF is going?
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Now I guess we know who will be there. Any thoughts on getting together logistice? Last year I teamed up with Shamus. I followed him over to the landing area and we left his pick-up. After the event we loaded the boats in his truck and drove back to the launch. I can hold 6 or more in my SUV so if everyone else wanted to drive over to Picnic before the event and leave their vehicles I can bring everyone back to the launch. Then after the even I just need someone to schlep my kayak and me back to where my truck is.

Last year I ferried people back from Picnic Island. I've got 2 kayaks going this year, so I would appreciate a ride back after dropping the car. Let me know what the plans are. Cole will be with me so he can keep an eye on the kayaks while we take the cars over.

I'd appreciate a ride back to Gandy, as long as it's relatively early. Working with the organizers on logistics, briefings, etc.

I may be able to provide a kayak trailer and meet you at Picnic.

Unfortunately I'm not able to escort this year, but I may be able help out and get you guys back to the Gandy.

I'll let you all know in the next few days.

That would be awesome, Bill - thanks! Don't forget the camera(s)!

Hope you're feeling better.
