Candy,
The weather does not look like it will cooperate for the tournament. What is plan "B"?
Plan B for right this minute is to wait 15 minutes and see if the weather forcast changes since we do live in Florida.
If the weather is unsafe, we will re-schedule the tournament. That will be announced at the Capt. meeting and posted on the forum if it becomes necessary to re-schedule.
Unfortunately, the Red Snapper Season in Federal Waters Closes at 12:01 AM August 5th meaning the last real day to catch RS in Fed Waters is August 4th.:(
Weather Update:
In the event that storms or rough water conditions make venturing out of the pass or going offshore unsafe, we will re-schedule the tournament.
(5' seas are unsafe for most boats registered in our Tournament.)
As of this minute, the tournament is still on because the weather may change between now and tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed!
A determination will be made at the Capt. Meeting.

The BOD will have to talk about it but I can't imagine why not.
I'm still hopeful will have a window tomorrow to get this in. Everything but the weather is lined and ready to go.
Why wouldn't we allow more boats to participate? The more the merrier!
