Guys,
I'll be down Saturday afternoon to tour the boat. I'll be wearing one of my Batfish shirts. Looking forward to meeting anyone that might be available, but I know that it's a holiday weekend.
-
Mark,
What time will you be there? Some of us will be there in the morning and early afternoon. Let me know what time!

What time does the boat open? We're thinking of hitting the harbor, first, and then going to the gun range in the afternoon, since it doesn't open until 10 a.m. I'll be wearing a dark blue Batfish golf shirt.

Mark,
The crew is onboard LONG before 10 AM, the best parking is on Gay St at the second garage on the left... I think it is the Waterstreet garage. the most work that we get done is after the overnighters have left and before the tourista's start coming onboard.
Enjoy your visit tomorrow, call and they will give you the GRAND tour :smitten:
-
Who should I ask for when I call and what is the number? What's the earliest that we could get on board (within reason)?
-
Mark,
I will be aboard along with a couple of the other guys by 730 or so, and we'll be aboard till about 11.
My cell is 443-413-9101. Give me a buzz when you get near the boat and I will meet you topside.

Guys,
Thanks for the visit. We really enjoyed ourselves and got some more insight into stuff that we need to accomplish on the Batfish. We'll let you know if we'll take you up on your offer for the 4th. What time would you recommend us getting there?

Mark,
We will be aboard most of the day, from at least noon onward. So anytime after that is fine. The fireworks start at 9:30, so try to be there by 9:00 at the latest so you can pick out a spot on deck to watch them from.
It was great to meet you today and I am glad you enjoyed your tour. Don't forget to send me your wish list so we can look it over and see if we have any extra stuff you can use. My email is usstorsk@gmail.com
Hope we see you tomorrow!

Gil,
Please pull my grandfathers flag out and fly it for me on the 4th, wish I was there right now onboard.. life is good ;)
-
Darrin,
You got it - the flag will fly!
Sorry you can't be here. Should be a great day and evening aboard TORSK!

Gil,
We'll be sure to send you our wish list. It ranges from big to small items and is probably incomplete.
We're still debating on the inner harbor fireworks, since my friend said that the last time he went down there for the 4th, it took over an hour just to leave the city limits.
Darrin,
Sorry we missed you this weekend.

What a joy this thread brings to me. This is the kind of stuff that this website was made for!

I wish i could see the fireworks at baltimore harbor i bet there gonna soo huge and neat to see. Mark your gonna have a great view of it too front row seats. The ones down up here in Tulsa will be great to see too heres hopeing the rain stays away for a good 3 hours :)
-
Hell Mark, I had a reserved bunk onboard... you maybe able to have mine tonight ;)
-
Mark,
Your friend is right - its usually a mess right after the fireworks. Some of us hang out on board for an hour or two afterwards before we leave. Others stay on board overnight. If you make it down, you guys are more than welcome to stay. You can have Darrin's bunk, or any other open one. I doubt we'll have a problem running out of them tonight. Not that many are staying over.
If you don't make it, enjoy your 4th. It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and I agree with Lance - this is what it's all about!
Happy 4th to everybody!

Gil,
We'll call you if we decide to come down. We're heading to a picnic in an hour and my friend wants to see what everyone else is doing for fireworks tonight.
Darrin,
I appreciate the offer.
