ScubaCinci Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Not to test you on that but on that topic (and off thread topic, sorry) I'm actually kinda worried about my wife. She's on a live aboard dive boat with a friend around Turks and Caicos right where the hurricane is (although on the periphery it appears). I haven't heard from her since Wed eve though her cell service there is extremely spotty. She's not due back until next Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 A quick look at the news stations websites for there doesn't show any major problems or damage. The boat moved, no cell service...all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm pretty confident they are fine...they are on the Aggressor Fleet which is a top tier operation but shit happens. People keep texting/FB/calling me asking if she's ok...I guess it's getting to me a bit. Sorry for the hijack...it's on my mind this morning. On with trip planning! I wore my new gear on the ride into work...happy with what I got. I'm ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 We should get a final tally this weekend of who's going, when they plan on getting there, where staying, etc. Maybe Tim can update the OP with the details.I'll get on this over the weekend once I've gone over some pages I haven't read yet, I have funeral stuff todo today. I do know Blitz might not make it now, guess he's shopping for a new bike because he wrecked his Aprilia. Said if he found a new one he'd still go.

Tonik Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 The Dome has once again worked. Somehow Jim was able to extend it's range Finally a true believer. That is what gives it its power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler524 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I've got a lot of reading to do to catch up on this thread. I didn't think that I would be able to make it due to a work trip but that has been cancelled and I could take the time off. Does anyone happen to have any trailer space available? I don't have time to get mine from Ohio, clean it it out, and register it in Michigan before the trip. I could ride my bike down to wherever and load up in a trailer and tag along.Not sure if there are any rooms or places to sleep left either.Only other option is to ride down and I'm not sure if I want to take that route. It is a 9hr 40min ride down straight through slabbing it the entire way. It would probably be a good 12hr ride down and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Jamie is out there is a couch avaliable or either way there is plenty of floor space for a air matrress at th e cabins.I also still have my room at the microtel I haven't canceled yet. Haven't decided what I'm going to do there. Need to make sure I have everyone down that going and where they are staying first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Probably a good idea to put Matt and I in the smaller cabin since we're getting in later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Quick update - heard from the wife...bottom line is they are fine and should be safe from the storm. No diving though due to large swells and wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Great news on the wife. And now all of you know why I don't share rooms. Life is too short to spend it lying in bed awake listening to some asshat snore his ass off, or put up with whatever other bullshit they dream up.

ScubaCinci Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 No snoring here (anymore) - CPAP! The drag is, I have to cart it with me. If it wasn't for that, I could fit all my stuff in the side cases. As it stands I'll prolly need the side cases and top case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Well i know i have to work till 7pm on Friday now so i will not be leaving till Saturday. My plan is to leave ass crack early (3a or 4a) slab down and meet up with you'll at Cafe Rel for lunch.(if that's still the plan). UNLESS I have to work Saturday morning, in that case ill be leaving directly form work and get there when i can. I think i have the first post updated, still have Blitz and Tyler as maybes who ever says they are going for sure first gets the couch spot in the larger cabin. If both end up going i will give up my cabin spot and just use my reservation i have at the hotel. if the couch is a deal breaker ill give up my cabin spot bed and use my reservation for that also. If i have forgotten anything or any one chime in and let me know. We aren't sure the exact cost of the cabins should be around $110 to $130 a night for both cabin together, I figure we will just take the total price together and divide it by how many total in the cabins. so right now it looks like about $88 to $105(worst case) per person for the 5 of us. Obviously will be lower if one of the maybes commits or if my estimate is high. And Cash only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 It's not lunch, its an early dinner....330ish. Just to be clear for your planning.And if you leave work Friday and head to Beckley you are there before midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear for your planning.And if you leave work Friday and head to Beckley you are there before midnight.I'll still consider the Friday thing, but getting up at 5:30a then working 12 hrs, then riding 5 hours after dark might not be a good idea. And 10-4 on the early dinner time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
