Report from various east coast ramps.
I got to Lake Park Marina a little before 8:00 am. One trailer in the parking lot but I think he was there for long term parking. Didn't look too promising but I did get the guy who was running the marina to put the brochure on the bulletin board out front.
I headed south to Phil Foster (Blue Heron Bridge) ramp and was greeted by a couple of volunteers from Scubaboard; unfortunately I forgot their names but they are local so I'm sure somebody will recognize them. I think they were seeing a few boats but generally pretty slow. They did have a reel nice setup next to the dive flag sign. These signs should be at every ramp.
Collecting signatures:
Next stop was Curry Park. I ran into some Spearboard volunteers and found them in great spirits despite the lack of even one boat. Based on some of the boating blunders I've seen at Curry park over the years this will definitely be an important ramp to bring awareness to on a busy day.
Good job everybody.

Thanks for posting the pictures. That's Denise and I at Blue Heron. We had about 20 signatures total but over half of those were from divers. We wrapped up at 9 AM and I went for a dive with a couple of buddies. As I walked up and down the groups of divers setting up many asked why we weren't at the boat ramp and afterwards a reporter showed up about 1 PM wanting to take pictures but by that time our volunteer effort that started at 7:30 AM was well on our way to warm up.
I hope to see you at the next one.
