1st Annual O.C. Clean Day
Hello Randy & Hunter,I stopped by Rt.113 Boat Sales in Selbyville,DE. today to discuss support for a regional TBO club.I met w/the owner,Capt.Glen Smith,who I'd known from when I was shopping for my Logic.We threw around a couple of ideas like a fishing tournament or bar-b-que,but he had something that he and a few friends were already doing.It seems the beach at the north end of Assategue Isl.gets trashed on July 4th weekend by inconsiderate boaters,so they would go out the weekend after to clean the beach,which is a huge task.He is willing to sponsor a Triumph Owners beach clean-up day,providing food,drink and trash bags to all who are willing to help.I will give a free Shimano,Jimmy Houston Edition fishing rod and Okuma baseball cap to the first 12 Captains who show up.I will meet w/Assategue Park Rangers next Tuesday to review plans and try to secure the area to be cleaned.I think this type of informal event is a perfect way to build a foundation for a regional TBO club.Its a beautiful location(when clean) w/protected bay waters,an inlet,the ocean and OC's attractions all right there.What I need now is some feedback from area Captains who want to participate,a commitment is not required,but an idea of how many will show will help plan the event and determine how much beach to be attacked.The day will be Sat.12th.Let's make this a Triumph!
