Airline canceled the flight my wife and I were coming back on last night. We are coming back this morning but it would be too close to try to make it to Monterey by 11:55a, if we even could. So we won’t be joining the tour this time.

@CaliGirlCoral
@SassyFish
@HankDean V +1 guest
@guihan
@ebrown7 +1 guest
@merickson45 +1 guest
@FullerReef +1 guest

Total is 17, so we now have 3 additional spots for members/guests.

Please make sure to be present and ready to go by 11:55a at the benefactor wall, tour leaves at 12:00 sharp. Also reminder that you need to purchase your own admittance to the aquarium, which I believe is completely online now.

Have fun! Share some pics with us please!

Awe man! sorry to hear President! Thanks again for organizing the tour and keeping the list up to date!

 

[JVU]

Arnold @Apon will be the BAR coordinator for this trip since I can’t make it. He has organized these several times in the past and knows Matt personally. Thanks Arnold!

@nlopedota and @CaliGirlCoral informed me they unfortunately can’t make it.

@Apon
@2manyhobbies

@guihan
@ebrown7 +1 guest

We have 5 available spots for members/guests. If members want to bring along more than 1 guest it’s fine at this point, though keep in mind the tour isn’t really appropriate for small children.

Just to let you know that I went on the tour. I had a great time and our guide, Matt, did a superb job explaining the workings of the aquarium.

 

[Apon]

Thanks to Matt for hosting, I didn't take roll call but my headcount was 14 so I guess 1 no show? Please post here if you attended as I didn't know everyone. I will create a post later for pics, but here is 1 shot not on the tour.

 

[HankDean V]

Had an awesome time and a great tour,
Thank you’s to Matt for all the show and tell!
Great to see you again dude! Supper amazing to see the work you’ve been doing!
