Just wondering Chris is there is any way possible to link a map of the surrounding boat ramps with street locations onto the website? If we could know the streets then those of us with GPS systems can just key it in and go. For me I think the Comslie ramp looks convenient as I looked for it with Google Earth but a street address would be handy. In the meantime I will see what I can find out myself online.

Cheers,

Thanks Brian, these ramps are also marked clearly in the UBD ( refidex ).

Further, due to the costs involved in getting this thing going we ( chris and me ) are asking for any donation possible on the day. I will instruct the Marshalls to collect said donation. No reciept, no tax deduction just show us the money.

The funds are going towards printing, advertising, permits, personal expenses, phone calls etc etc. You probably have no idea how much actually goes into getting something like this happening, as well as all the other ' behind the scenes " activities. Any amount will help.

Thanks in advance........ Phill

BAT..I don't think it will be too long either..when they start on their river and estuary review..look out down that way.

[Lucky_Phill]

FYI, BAT, Moreton Bay Marine Park extends to the north wall of the Seaway, so YES, you are already affected.

Phill,
We are getting close to the day, should we have some online register of who is coming or an online expression of interest for logistic purposes?
At this stage we have no idea if there are going to be 50 boats or 500 boats I personally would like to see 5000 boats, PooDroo is doing the passenger list and I notice some responses are saying " I already Have a boat I will be there" I think we should exploit that view.
By the way PooDroo I will have room for 1 or 2 on the day I have to finalise figures, we are leaving Scarborough, Moreton Bay Boat Club, at 7.00am sharp, with 14 POB (plus Quest photographer to pick up at "Hamilton Game Wharf" at 10.00am)
Cheers
