9. Please document your observations for the first two hours:
Restocked the truck Saturday night and braced for what turned out to be a repeat of Saturday. On site at 10:00 ready at 10:15
Large line of boaters awaited us on arrival. Set-up was rapid as pledge boaters, motivated to get a jacket, helped carry stock down to the boat. After the chaos of Saturday, we took small groups down to the table, we were able to be more personable, able to introduce the program and demo the units better. Far better than Saturday. From 10:15 to 12:30 we handed out all units, all demo units. 100 adult and child jackts in all.
