NEW! USCG Appreciation Day Signup List!!

[WildHawg]

It’s coming quick!! The First Annual Coast Guard Appreciation Day will be held at Station Yaquina Bay in Newport Oregon on 16 July 2005 from 2-6 pm.
It would take far too much effort to organize and quantify everyone’s contributions--there will be too much of some things, and not enough of others. One thing I know is that no one will go hungry!!
I have commitments for fresh fish (Rich, could you order up some calm seas for that week?) and crab from several of our members, hotdogs/burgers/chili/and seafood chowder along with a quantity of side dishes and desserts. We have 20+cases of pop and water, and Rich has kindly lent us the use of his facility and plates/utensils.
SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE THE FIXIN’S FOR A PARTY!!!!
I will pm everyone who has offered to bring cooking equipment and/or help in that department personally. I’d like to have a deep fryer for halibut.
Here is the list of attendees and numbers of people with whom I have communicated so far. If there is a ? next to you, please reply below with the number of people you will be bringing. It‘s not too late to signup--just do so below, and your name will be added to the list:

USCG Yaquina 35-40, USCG Depoe Bay 10-15, Wildhawg 6, EDSR 1, Popeye 2, Triple C 2, Crabbait?, Hoggemin 1, Megabytes 5, Wthr4rd 4, WP 2, Badger 1, Kingfisher 2, Bluefin 2, Saltwater Only 2, Blubeast 2, Aquaholic 2, Spinnergal 2, Tuna Boy ?, Sea go’n 2, Baja Bob 5, Spoiled Daddy 3, Netscape 2, Billfisher 5, Nalu 2, Ron M 1, Skein 2, Riverliver 1, Fishboys 2, Sea Sparrow 2, Fishgitter 2, Maverick 1, Cloud Nine 2, Sea Squid?, Doryfisherman 2, Bigliar 1 , Fishplay 1, Mr. Fisherman 3, Sandman 1, Netfun 1, Sea Jypzee 1, Oceanblue 3, BIG SLAB! 1, Woody 2, Cliff 1, Birdman 4, Sea Jay 2, Northriverrick 2, Arima Jim 4, Trollin 2, LQQASTAR 2, Bugflicker 2, Kenai 2, Puffin=2 by himself! , Bait o' Eggs?, and JENNIE & BILL + a whole lot more.
Come on down to the best party on the coast!!!!

I will edit this update frequently as I get new numbers. Would ideally like to have a good solid idea of attendees by 8 July, but drop-ins will not leave hungry!
See Ya,
Charlie.

[Billfisher]

Charlie... Thanks for putting all this together!

[doryfisherman]

[Something Good]

I can't believe you forgot about me?
I hope I don't forget anyone at the dock this Friday.

[sandman]

Are kids invited??11&9.I have a big traeger also if needed.

[Nalu]

Thanks for your work WildHawg. Take the ? from by my name and mark me down for 2.

[HOGGEMIN]

I also have a big Treger I could bring and a crab cooker with a stainless pot never used we could use to fry the hailbut in.

[USCG Yaquina Bay]

Sandman - Kids are invited, this should be a family thing for everyone. Bring your camera too, this would be a good chance to get a pix onboard our boats (if you like). We will have several of our Lifeboats open for tours and also Chief Sparkman (OinC Depoe Bay) will be bringing his 30' Surf Rescue Boat down (it is the last one in the Coast Guard). R

[ron m]

just me, so 1 for ron m

[Fishplay]

Just me for now Charlie.

I also have a deep fryer and thermometer for the fish.

Do we have any ice cream yet? I can bring a tub or two of Tillamook if needed.

Talk to me Wild one!

[Riverliver]

I'm coming and at this point it will just be me.. As I said b4 I'd be happy to man the grill if you need help in the cooking department..

[Net fun]

Charlie,
Please count me in. Net Fun - 1. It will be great to mix with you folks and show support for USCG Yaquina Bay!
Russ

[Mr. Fisherman]

Charlie, I can't believe ye misses me. Put me down for 3 and I'll bring Tuna Salad and make my horderves and might be able to bring a pot of my wifes chili. Can you say treat?
I could maybe be persueded into making hot wings. Some folks like my chow My mama taught me to never trust a skiny chef so rest assured you can sure trust me :grin:

[WildHawg]

Ho'boy...can't believe I "lost" some of my favorite Dog's!!
Sorry Thuan, Ray, Greg!!!!!
Ray, don't feel like you have to bring soooooo much grub. So far almost everyone is bringing something tasty, so we should be ok on quantity. Conversely, your cooking reputation and obvious "qualifications" make me want to make sure and get a little of what you bring :grin:.
Looking forward to meeting some new faces too!!!
I'm starting to get fired up!!!!

[Sea Jypzee]

Charlie - Put me down for 1 tentatively please. I'll have to check my work schedule before I can say for sure.

Thanks

[OceanBlue]

Charlie, Team Kismet will be there (3 at this point - possibly 4)

We'll bring something tasty. Hopefully some "catch o' the day"... But definitely a dessert, I think, since I don't think there's much of that on the menu at this point. Apple Pie anyone? Maybe even some of my famous smoked albacore caesar salad.

BTW, we ran into the Chief in Depoe on Sat. Let's think about alternating this event each year. Next year the Hole in the Wall gang wants to host

[seasquid]

Seasquid = 2

Thanks for all your hard work.

Looking forward to visiting with you soon.
Take care,

[USCG Yaquina Bay]

Good Morning All, THREE DAYS AND A WAKEUP! I just wanted to remind eveyone of the shortage of parking at the Coast Guard Station and recommend that you consider parking at South Beach Marina. If you need to drop off fresh fish, grills, chili, fresh fish, sodas, oh did I mention fresh fish, come by the staiton first and drop your gear off. We have two entrances, a lower entrance off Bay Blvd and an upper entrance on Naterlin Drive. The BONUS for parking at South Beach is that we will provide transportation to the Station via either the Motor Lifeboat Victory, a 47' MLB, or the 30' Surf Boat. We will provide the appropriate PFDs, and the "inflight" movie will The Poseidon Adventure... We will start transporting at 1315 for those early arrivals and hopefully about every 10 minutes after that. I've asked King Neptune for nice weather for the event so be nice when you go out. See you on Saturday.

[aye fsh]

I'll be bringing my Son and his best buddy, so count on 3 here. Let me know how we can contribute.
Thanks!

[edsr]

Charlie - Check your PM messages.



edsr

[StickFish]

Just where at the South Beach Marina will you be picking up, I for one am a newbie at that location? Or just look for the big boat with a red strip and head that way?

[WildHawg]

Hey Stickfish...just cross the bridge and take the first right around and back under the bridge. As you loop around, on your left is a road that heads into a big parking lot. Head north and park. The boatramp is no longer open, but the dock on the SE side, below the Rogue Brewery near where the Discovery tour boat ties up is the place they'll go.
See ya,
Charlie

[USCG Yaquina Bay]

WildHawg's right so follow his directions. Please identify yourself as a Salty Dog so that we are picking up the right people and not any "strays." I'd like to try and pick everyone up on the Rogue "side" where the Discovery usually ties up. It is the dock closest to the parking lot. Either way just come on down to the CG Lifeboat and tell us that you are a Salty Dog and we'll bring you aboard. Although we do work for the Department of Homeland Security we will not be running you through the X-Ray Machine, heck we won't even have you remove your shoes. The Victory can carry the most with about 15-20 in "First Class," the 47' MLBs only have "coach" so its to the back of the bus on that boat, and the 30' Surf Boat, well you'll probably have to hang over the side... See you on Saturday. R

[WildHawg]

I'm unloading then parking on the south side just for the ride! It is a priveledge I will not soon forget.
Thanks Rich!!
Charlie

[Jennie@ifish]

Bill and I will be driving up just for the day.
Can't wait to see everyone. If you want us to bring the Traeger, let us know.

Jen

[WildHawg]

HOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! I am looking forward to meeting Bill and saying hi again :smile:
I think it'll be a fun day

[spinnergal]

Way Cool!!! Glad to be able to meet Jennie & Bill and all the other Salty Dogs for a great cause!!

[Jennie@ifish]

I'm really excited, too!
I have never been to a larger function that I don't have to put on! How fun!

Jen

[Jimmy Carl Black]

mmmmmmmmm...cheesecake, that got me hooked I'll be there asolo as my family is out of town I'll bring a ceviche, tortilla chips anyone?

[Sublime]

count me in!!

[Freakwater]

a late addition of 2.

Can we bring dogs? The "woof woof" kind?

Thanks WildHawg!
Freakwater

[USCG Yaquina Bay]

Unfortunately the dog becomes a liability for the Coast Guard if there is an incident, so I've got to say no to bringing pets. R

[Jennie@ifish]

So, just bring any kind of dish to get in and you are in?

What do you need most? Salads? Deserts? How bout a big costco cake or something?
