Eathquakes, Fires, Storms, Tsunamis, are all things that we need to prepare for. If you are not prepared, it could be the difference of life or death. Getting home or not getting home. Depending on the disaster, you may only have minutes or seconds to grab everything you need to relocate. Are you prepared?
We have create two type of Emergency Preparedness Kits that every person should have:
Get Home Bag: This is a small daypack that you take with you every day. If a disaster/emergency takes place, there is a good chance you will not be at home. Your Get Home Bag has everything you need to get home or deal with a disaster away from home.
P.E.R.K. (Personal Emergency Relocation Kit): This is your larger duffle that you keep at home with everything you need, if you have seconds to evacuate. Grab it and go!

Launch was at 5:35am on the protected side of Trinidad Head. If you signed up before 7/01/17, you qualified as an “Early Bird” and you got a 20 minute head start! That means the Early Birds got to launch at 5:15am. Everyone had to be back on dry land no later than 2:00pm.
The weather conditions were EPIC! No fog, no wind, and swells were very manageable. However, the flies were in full attack mode. Some people protected themselves with gloves, hats & buffs.
The bite was a little slow overall, but that didn’t stop people from bringing in lots of fish. Lots of Monster Blacks and there were more Cabezon’s harvested thank Lings. That was a little unusual.
