...the first of April is this week. That means the First Annual Great Lakes Wrecking Crew Spring Dive, Meet and Greet (FAGLWCSDMG) is only a few weeks away.
Some of us from the Central Michigan area had a little 'pre-meeting meeting' at the Black Forest Brewery in Frankenmuth last Saturday evening. Several pitchers of Oat Stout were consumed, along with a really excellent pizza and lies were swapped for several hours. If that was any indication of the good times we will be having at Gilboa, I really can't wait to get there.
We are all hoping that the weather cooperates for our trip with warm weather and clear skys, so lets all concentrate on getting the weather to cooperate.
Current plans are for a night dive on Friday, for all of you who can arrive early, followed by campfire stories of who has survived the biggest mistake in the water and some excellent Maple Porter from Black Forest Brewing. Plans for the rest of the weekend are still in the planning stages.
I'm planning on bringing along some "swap meet" items that I have been accumulating. Including a cold water hood (size S-M) and some 3 finger mitts (size M) and an Aqua Lung LPO Octo that I no longer use. If some of you have parts to trade or sell, bring them along and we'll throw it all on a table together and see who wants them.
Would someone be willing to bring some of those "Hello my name is _______" badges we can use???? Would be nice to know who you are talking to when you first meet. I'll have a clipboard there to sign in, so we have a record of who attended this first GLWC event.
Any other ideas for the meeting should be posted here, or sent to me in a PM and I'll see what I can do.
Hope to see all your smiling faces there on the 16-18th!
