Hey bigger you don't have to cancel just move it Northwest to about Greers Ferry.:p:D No joke ya'll be careful Saturday. All the fish in the lake are not worth getting somebody hurt or worse.

Worst case, I'll hang at Grenada Landing till 6:30 in case somebody doesn't get the message - assuming we move the launch/weigh in. At 6:30 I'll drive around to launch. A blurb will be in the paper today saying launch at Grenada Landing, so I'm kind of stuck there.

you might want to put a list up on what safety items will be required and that you will be looking at. That way everybody will know and it might give all of us a reminder of what we really do need

**Wannabe...** · 03-09-2010, 10:11 AM

Rules state all safety equipment required by law.

In my mind, that'd be Life Jackets and kill switch, but also should include and anchor, paddle and signalling device such as flare, horn or whistle.
