Here is the latest report I received via email from the organizer, Gary Hulsey:


Final plans for the crab Convoy are now in place and are being spread to the media and the public through the Internet. KIRO 7's Kevin McCarty is on record as planning on covering the story and the Everett Herald has said they were interested. The papers on the Peninsula have been covering us weekly for several weeks now and I just got word today that the Seattle PI will write a story. I have contacted all the other Seattle TV stations but have not heard back from them.
After meeting with civic and business leaders in Port Townsend we have developed the following Schedule;
Assemble at the fair grounds by 10:00AM., Those that are going to participate in the downtown demonstration should be there by 9:00AM. That convoy will be made up of PSA Representatives from every Chapter in attendance up to 26 total. We will leave for downtown at 9:00 and coincide with the on the water demonstration that will take place at the salmon club launch in downtown P. T. We will shuttle foot demonstrators
to the salmon club and haul them back in time for the Fort Worden convoy.
The Fort Warden Convoy will leave for the fort at 11:00 and will be in place at the fort when the commission breaks for lunch. We will circle the Fort Warden Parade Ground and exit the way we came in. This will take by the commission meeting place on the way in and out.
The city will provide a shuttle bus that will run from the fair grounds to the downtown and back on a 30 minute schedule for those wanting to see downtown and get a bite to eat.
City police will assist with traffic control and will work to make this run smoothly as well as provide access for TV trucks and news media.
We will have the route into the fairgrounds posted with signs and there will be people at crucial turns to act as guides so no one should get lost.
We have over 1000 signatures in hand here in P. T. Sno/King reported 5000 a couple of weeks ago. South King Co. reported 475 this past week with over 100 petitions still out. I have heard that someone in Yakima had 8 or 10 pages filled out and was looking for a place to send them. Fidalgo and Whidbey chapters and circulating petitions. E-mail me with your latest estimates and bring any you have with you when you come on the 6th of DEC. I am telling media we have 8 to 10,000. That may be conservative. We should have a number to throw around at the Convoy so make a reasonable estimate and get it to me.
Try to get as many people to show up as possible. You don't have to have a boat to be in this with us, just show up.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Gary
