Anyone else getting in early? Wanna grab some food, beers, buggy time??

We should be getting in Tuesday afternoon.. we fly out of Denver EARLY (like 6am) but we hafta drive from Jacksonville. If i remember correctly we'll be on Jekyll around 2 or 3 :puzzled:

PM me i'll hand out my celly, we'll grab a pint and some grub somewhere!!

1 week! WOOOOOO!!!!

I'll be there at about the same time! Btw Drew, what size skirt do you wear? Little birdie told me you may need it

I should be in the bug by 2 or 3

let me check the long range forecast and with the HSC (home station commander)........................radiation treatments are at 815 am so I might be able to do a Tuesday afternoon.......................will let you know!!:duh:

Jekyll is an easy 55-60 min from JAX and is just about all highway, right up I-95 from the airport so it is an easy trip. Car rentals are on sight at the airport with no rental shuttle bus, so that is fast and easy too.

If you want we can get together at Fins on the Beach (formally named Blackbeard's) that JIBE veterans are familiar with. It has both inside and bar and deck and overlooks Kite Beach and the Atlantic. Due to the construction of the convention center there is a detour to get there but it is all on the JIBE site maps and in the downloadable PDF JIBE_Guide.

the extended forecast has Tuesday and Wednesday off shore which will be awesome in your buggys (could be a bit lumpy but you both have depowers to handle that)..................If it turns onshore I might make Tuesday afternoon....................again this is ikitesurfs long range forecast which usually changes especially this time of year..........Im willing to bet the winds will be onshore once if not both days (Tues/Wed)..................................more to come

Angus has real time data on his site........................dont forget to check that out once you arrive.......... app it to your phone!:duh::duh:

I can hardly wait!!! Hit the buggy with the venom on soft sand, anxious to see what the hard pack is like!

I'll be there Monday so pm me your phone number and I'll send you my info so you can get ahold of me when you get in

pm'd

There is a very important task to be covered before Wednesday noon, and that is to plant the pennant flags "I made it to the Shipwreck" in the sand down at the shipwreck on the southern tip of the island. It is not easily reachable by foot without a trek of over 1/3 mile or more, so if winds are good, it calls for a buggy expeditionary force.

If some of you guys are getting in at 2-3 pm then it may be a stretch after a weary day of travel to assemble buggies and get there and that may push the patience of your traveling companions. If that is so, and the winds are good still, then I might ask Adam (flyjump) and Ted McKibben (from Maine, will be there from the weekend), to make the solemn voyage and we can meet you at Fins afterwords.

Lemme know what you think.

Sea breeze has been kicking a$$ against west frontal winds, winning every time in the afternoon. Hope the trend holds!

I'll be good to go! Count me in

Sorry....getting stir crazy

Looks like we have the JIBE "Pre-event" shaping up here. My week just got longer but for all the right reasons. Just had a huge front move through with lots 'o rain and storm cells to clear the air. Forecast for early week is for West winds but so far the last week the sea breeze wins every time. To all arriving early, the store number rings to my cell so check in and we will form up Tuesday for a shipwreck run to plant the flags.

Almost time!!!

I'll be in the buggy on JI tomorrow!!! Woop woop!!!

We will be getting in this afternoon can't wait to see you all

very nice.....................save some beach for the rest of us..........................

Powersteering went out on the van this weekend should be fixed today otherwise it means the truck and 12 miles to the gallon:eekdrull:- but will be there wednesday around noon not sure why we are not leaving today- its not like i will get a whole lot of work done
Scott

Something tells me this year will be one for the books!

Is Anybodybringing a twisterII to JIBE? I'd like to have a go with it for awhile. Maybe I'll give out some free PL stickers

Drew is I think! Do I get stickers now?


Can't wait to see all of you again and meet all the new faces (new to me)

Wind in your face...sound of the ocean...clean sea air...solo run down the beach

Group runs...good friends....good fun...paradise found

Balance brought to a life filled with stress

Why can't every day be JIBE??

your host is a PL dealer, ask him...............................:dunno::dunno:

Adam
