Hey all,
This is just to inform those of you who might be looking for the story or photos this morning, that there aren't any photos and there is no story...other than the story about how I got up earlier than yesterday, so I could get more photos and interviews, but I went to the wrong launch!
It never dawned on me that they might use the Bolles Harbor launch this morning, since I have never been to a tournament where there has been more than one official launch....and, at 5am (and no coffee yet) my brain wasn't functioning on all cylinders. There was also a small craft advisory still in effect this morning until 10am.
When I got to the launch at Elizabeth Park, there was no one there and that's when it became clear that I had an invitation to a great party, but the address on my invitation was different than everyone else's! :angry:
So, without knowing exactly where Bolles Harbor Marina is off of I75, and no gps in my truck....a husband back home with a computer, but who was still sleeping when I called...a friend who was up and working the baitshop back home,but didn't know where that launch was either...and Kristine's phone number tucked neatly in the email section of my computer (instead of my phone where it should be!)...I was out of options, and time.
So, sorry everyone! Wish I could have been there for you. I'll be at the right launch tomorrow morning...I promise! :)
See you this afternoon for the live webcast of the weigh in. The weigh in will begin at approximately 4-4:30 p.m.
I will start the webcast at around 3:30 though, for those who like to come early and chat in the weigh in chat room.
