Don't worry GF2 most of us on here understand how you feel about your belongings, as we, atleast I feel the same way. If it is something you value and it is portable, just bring it in the tent. I will be bringing certain things in the tent but most will stay in the boat. I don't know anyone either and being around so many other people who love the joy of being in the outdoors and fishing. I think our stuff will be just fine. BTW that is a fine looking boat you got there . Hope to see everyone out there.

This may be our first PFF raft up/campout/party, so we are looking forward. Our Bayou Babes and Bubbas had chosen this same weekend to gather at Mc Ree, so you see some of us Olde Phartz out there also. We have not been out since last year before my health problems, but, The Good Lord Willing, we will be there. I still am wobbling when I walk, since I have no balance, but WTH, I am on the green side of the grass.

We will be leaving about 0800 Friday, since that is high tide and I need it to get my 5'10" draft out of my slip. We will be towing the "Chico Limo", our 25' pontoon for use as a shore boat. So anyone needing to get ashore or a trip back across, let us know. Cell 572-1225 or call on VHF 16, "Satori" or "Chico Limo".

I have about 3 gallons of peanut oil that I have fried two turkeys in, but it is still good if anyone can use it. Also, have a bunch of good oak firewood I can bring.

Look for us, Cal 46 motor sailer, white w/blue stripe still beat up from Ivan

Gone Fishin' Too (10/7/2008)
Since this is my first time for a McRae campout, how vigilant or proactive do I need to be about keeping watch over things on my boat (rods,tackle,electronics) overnight while sleeping in the tent?  Is it best to just bring the expensive stuff and put it in the tent?  I don't even like keeping stuff in the boat in my own driveway after I get back from a fishing trip unattended for more than a few minutes. What does everyone else do?

No worries man.  I have been camping out there for years.

And I have never had a problem ever.  You can only get only get out there by boat, so boaters typically respect other boaters stuff.  There may be plenty of idiots on the water.  But most of those idiot boaters at least respect your stuff.

 I just got a call from our buddy Raoul (the aussie) he is having me a grill made. Steel plate with grating on the side and folding legs. It will stand right over the campfire and act like a hot plate / grill.

 Can't wait to give it the maiden run this weekend!!!!!!!!!!
