Non-boaters in red are already matched up with family/friends/special requests. I have 17 non-boaters needing a boat verses the number of nonmatched boaters above as of 5/6/2012. I will do a draw as soon as I hear back from the people I have sent questions to and we are a little closer to even.

If I did not call your name, please raise your hand...

Seriously, if you believe you entered and your name is not on one of these lists, please post on this thread or contact me through PM to let me know. If I do not have everyone set correctly who contacted me through email, PM, phone, etc. I'm not surprised. That is my specialty! Same thing - whichever you prefer - post on here or send me a PM to set me straight.

We are obviously a little more non-boater heavy than I thought we were if I have everyone right. I'm waiting for responses from a number of persons to clarify exactly where we are at. I probably will not have my boat fixed by then but I can take a nap in my car while you all fish to make sure everyone gets out. I always feel like I need a nap after driving over there in the early morning. We usually figure out ways to make it work so no one panic just yet. Thanks!

Sent you a PM - I am in as a boater!

Thanks Seth! BIG help!!

I updated the list. We are still a ways off from even with a surplus of non-boaters. I am waiting for confirmation from 1 boater. I have confirm a few others I haven't heard from in a while just to be sure.

I may have 1 more change yet. Pretty sure I won't have my boat fixed by then unfortunately so I'm not much help.

Dan,  you can nap on my boat amd maybe catch a few fish

Hey Dan I am in as a non Boater!!

That sounds like a pretty good deal. The last time I napped on a boat in this event, I hooked a 5-6!!

[djkimmel]

Hey Dan I am in as a non Boater!!

Added you to the list.

[djkimmel]

Okay. We have gone the wrong way a little in the boater / non-boater ratio. Still working on it.

I am in for a Boater

If someone or a couple people want to ride over with me in the Tahoe (lots of room) from Grand Rapids EARLY Saturday morning I could be persuaded to bring my boat.  I have to make it a day trip though... heading back Saturday afternoon (after the feast!).

[djkimmel]

I hope someones takes you up on that. Still working on the situation.

1 boat closer with 5 more non-boaters than boaters. Still waiting to confirm 1 boater. Anyone heard from or seen Manxfishing? Getting worried. He isn't usually gone for this many days in a row.

I can follow you, or you can follow me. Best I can do to get you to bring your boat.  By the way, don't forget your vest and mask.

[djkimmel]

We're inching closer to equal. 4 more non-boaters at the moment.

And I found Manxfishing. Should have known. He's at Patoka Lake fishing the NBAA National Championships.

I just don't want to make the drive alone... done that several times and have nearly wrecked my rig on the way back by falling asleep.  So if I don't have a rider I'll still be tagging along with you as a non-boater.

We don't want anyone falling asleep on the way home.

Fine by me.
