Re: Orcas Clinic- Meet at 6am tomorrow

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your responses on tents! 

It sounds like we now have more than enough tents for everyone- awesome. 

The campsite states that only two tents are allowed per site, and we have two sites booked aka 4 tents- not as awesome; we are limited. 

In this case, we have enough spaces and are fitting into the rules if these 6 people bring the 5 tents listed below and on the spreadsheet:

Tyce 5+ person Alex 2 person Megan 3 person Anna 1 person Sophia 4 person

This allows us enough space in a few larger tents to stay within the rules of the campsite (plus one emergency/extra tent). I know a lot of sailors were planning to bring their own smaller tents. If you want to bring those in case they let us set up extra, that's fine (I even included it as an option on the spreadsheet), but I'd like us to have the ability to fit within the 4 tents rule if needed.

Thanks again and please let me know if you have any other questions!

See you tomorrow at the Sehome Hill Haggens at 6am.

Best,

Anna
