Official ORC 2012 Logistics Thread

We're on year 5 of the ORC and I'm hoping to continue the trend of getting better every year.  The ORC has always been driven from the bottom up.  This event relies heavily on the creativity and horsepower of the NWKA community to succeed.  We've had some great suggestions and offers to help out again this year and I'd like to coordinate the volunteer offers and opportunities thru this thread.

I've got a canopy shelter that I could bring.  I'll have to check but I think it's 12'x12'.

I've got a canopy and will bring it along.

I have a digital projector and screen at work. I just need to confirm that no one else is using it at that time, but I'm 90% sure I can bring it cause we only use it for training (I do most of the training) and a laptop as well for sure. pdw9mm can set up and operate.

I'm down for prep cook again. I'll bring chopping boards, knives, prep/mixing containers. I know we were lacking a few things last time.

I'll bring a few bags of these from the pantry.

I will bring the fryer oil a box of white and a box of red.
Are we doing fish tacos?

Happy to bring a laptop and help cooking - clean fish, prep, or cook, can help with it all

Copious amounts of tequila

I've never cleaned a rockfish but happy to learn. Willing to pitch in where needed.

Also willing to sail around and take photos and video.

IHop no need to clean. You can fillet around the guts. Learned from the master...Fungunnin...

I have a Big Buddy heater I can bring to make the weigh station a little more pleasant if the morning is chilly.

I'll also get the oil and batter since I don't do AOTY, if Nate will let me. The place I found it last year is in close proximity.

Does the fish get egg dipped before the batter? I could get my hens to put in a little overtime and bring some along. I feed them nice Oregon grown organic feed. Let me know how many we need.

Spot. My wife and I are willing to help out wherever we may be needed. Yakchik does have some lifting restrictions due to an injury. Just let us know how we can help.
PS: We both have dietary restrictions #1 Deb's Gluten-free #2 I'm very low sodium due to my previous Lobotomy. Any suggestions from members would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry. We're sickly "Old Farts" although I'll be fishing my ass off.

I can do some photos between landing both the first and third place fish (I'm being a realist.  It is highly improbable I would get both the first and second place fish  ).  Oh, and I can bring a couple bags of the Pride of the West.

I've never gutted a rockfish.  Just cut down the back, and carve along the ribs. 

Bill putting on a class again this year?

I may have found a non-fishing photographer.  We are finishing up his cedar strip kayak and he is interested in camping out and getting out in the salt with a group since he will be new to the salt.  He enjoys paddling around and was interested as of this morning while we were in my garage working on his soon to be christened yak (it's a little dusty).


I will do a how-to in the drillin' and cuttin' section later if anyone is interested in building their own.  The next one will be a double or triple so I can get my kids out fishing. It will have mirage drive wells, though.
