Mudflats in front of SYC. They had 35 minutes to hook up 11 moorings due to tide. Thank you goes out to Moose Marcel, Rich McCabe and Lionel Andre.

Line spliced to chain, attach plastic bottles, drop in area of mooring block at high tide (they will stay in area). Tomorrow am go out at low tide and hook up chain to mooring blocks. We used to call this last step geeking in the mud.
