Hello, all fellow CINC naturalists,

Diane

PS.  Here's Shauna's original letter:
**

*Dear CINC Volunteers:*
* *

*In response to your requests, Shauna has contacted Veneco to inquire about
a platform tour. Due to safety concerns, we are no longer able to obtain a
walking tour ON a platform, however, we are able to take a guided tour
around Platfrom Gail and Grace on a Veneco boat. Due to the limited number
of passengers (30), and the fact that they want to "try" one trip ut first
-- we will need we need to limit this first trip to CINC volunteers based on
the following critera: *
* *

*a) You submitted your timesheets for 2011 (we know who you are :))
b) If you meet criteria, a, then you will added first come first served
c) Any open slots after that will be open to all active CINC volunteers*
* *

*It should be a lot of fun -- you get swing rope training since that is how
you will get from Carpinteria pier to the crew boat! Requirements include
general health of participant, must be physically able to support their
weight during swing rope transfer, no open-toed shoes or high heels  and no
one under the age of 18. Further, participants must be willing to sign the
liability waiver.
The trip will depart at 0800 and return at 1130. Based on Veneco's schedule
we have selected WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2011. *
* *

*If you are not able to go on the tour we will make an effort to capture the
key messages and ensure all CINC volunteers receive that information. We
will also see how it goes and try to add another tour in the near future. *
* Please do not REPLY ALL, reply directly to Diane Rennell <
diane.rennell at gmail.com>, who is coordinating our RSVPs for the tour! Please
RSVP by October 28, 2011.
Thank you.*
