Are there any additional safety concerns with the group getting this big? Does someone check that all the participants return back to the ramp?

We could just make it a requirement to check in at the weigh station, whether you have fish or not, so your number can be checked off.

That's an awesome idea!  I'll include that in the announcement and add a "NOTICE!" post to this thread.

Should probably have a checkout sheet for people to sign as they head out.  That way there is something to checkin against.   ::)

Yeah, I was thinking about last year.  When everyone handed in their waiver, they got a poker chip with their number on it.  The list had everyones number on it and the fish were recorded next to their number.

And at what point in the day does "someone" with the list start contacting Coasties to go look for those that didn't catch a fish, and forgot to check back in?
Mentioning it in an announcement may not be enough motivation for a fish eluded, exhausted guy that is just thinking of a hot shower and cold beer to remember.
Just saying.....

Maybe provide a token of motivation with a chance for a high dollar raffle item back at the potluck/awards. 
The poker chips last year were a great way to keep track of our numbers, so possibly have a raffle ticket tossed into a can with our number sharpied on it when we check back in (fish or no fish).

Just ideas, feel free to roll your eyes at anytime.

   INSAYN has some pretty insane ideas sometimes---I like it   ;D
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

Good ideas. Adding a space for VHF and cell phone number on the sheet would be good too.

   I haven't seen this but --will any NWKA T-shirts be available this weekend at ORC ?
   How about other "bling"  we might need to know about ?

   Is there an official prize list posted somewhere too ? I've looked all over and haven't seen it yet........

Pray my Brethren...... pray to the sea gods that the day turns out like this!  You could have paddle a CANOE out there.  Well.......   ;)

Taken on Monday evening.  The bay was like this ALL day long.  Oh how I wish I didn't have to work!  Enjoy!
