I’d recommend arriving 8 o’clock with Beach huddle at 8:45 AM at Indian Island County Park.
We will be double parking in order to conserve space. It’s a very small parking area. It also has a nice concrete fixed restaurant.
Cross your fingers. Maybe we’ll have decent weather. It’s still September.
Recommend you bring a tow belt.
VHF marine radio if you own one
