Collecting trip for Raggers

[Patrick™]

This is Minnesota! Cost of living is supposed to be much cheaper up here!

[cUddlefish]

Ok - Those who still plan on coming down please sound off.

I am happy to say I have those days off and won't even need to schedule vacation time.

[ricosuave]

You can count on me and my wife.

[ChuckG]

Me and the wife are in as well.

[ChuckG]

Looks like it's going to be a cozy little group. Are the other wives "into" this? Mine isn't - she's just tagging along.

[ricosuave]

I think mine will be happy shopping or just getting some sun on the beach. Who knows, maybe she'll play bartender for us

Wish you guys could grab me a few of those nice FL rics that are so costly up here... of course I don't know the gathering regulations...

[ChuckG]

I don't think we'll find any rics in the area where we will be. I think those are mainly down off the keys. Not sure what the regs on them are either. I "think" it changed drastically over the years. Most rics nowadays come out of the carribean. Any rock that has multiple polyps is definately not from Florida. Last I heard you could only take single polyps from Florida waters with less than 1" of attached rock and that is if you had the required licenses as well. (something like that)

Now you all have a great trip and I have one request. Please remember us less unfortunate who can't go. Really, have fun!

[Tangboy]

Enjoy yourselves greatly and have fun. Don't forget to take LOTS of pictures of everything!
