Getting gear ready for Kiptopeke 2014

OK, it's time to be sure I have gear packed and ready for the 2014 Kiptopeke COWs season.

(*) marks "to do" items.

(*) I'm thinking that I need new boots.  Since I can't find the ones I've worn for several years.  Strange how things seem to hide without help.  The missing pair came from Walmart and I don't see a reason to change.  While I'm there, (*) I'll buy a micro sd card and adapter for the Simrad.  Might need to store some waypoints.  (*) Need to power the Lowrance HDS 8 to see if it has waypoints marked for the Cape Charles area.  Supposedly, the HDS 9 gen 2 can now talk to the HDS 8?

So many clothes to take along to accommodate the weather situations.  I certainly like the aluminized body fit undies.  Bill calls it a Superman outfit.

Still have a reservation at the Sunset Beach Resort for the month of December.  Should be room 145 at the end of a wing and gives easy access for boat parking electric.  Think Dewayne Lamb reserved the suite next to our room.  We wanted the suite, but it wasn't affordable for my budget.

The refrigerator is always a problem as the dorm size motel unit just doesn't hold enough for a long stay.  I have a 6 cu ft chest and a tall refrigerator with about 2 cu ft freezer compartment.  Have used both and Bill and I need to make a decision.

Bill has a great electric skillet that cooks great fish, steaks, etc.  We also have a folding table that fits over the AC at the front of the room.  (*) Need to get utensils gathered along with extension cords including one to charge the boat.  (*) A garbage can with appropriate size bags.  (*) Plastic bags for cleaned fish.  Will also bring a crock pot.

The Motel an acceptable breakfast if we wait to get on the water in the  morning.  Sort of my undoing as I don't seem to be able to get on the water at dawn when the fish are on the feed.  My bowel has a mind of it's own these days.

(*) Need to lube the trailer hubs, grease the motor fittings,
