Well, looks as if I'll be boatless. ****! A Donzi gathering in my backyard and I'll have to ride in a Scarab. Oh the humiliation....:big:
Raylar sent me the wrong engine parts.
This added delay was the final nail in the coffin of the HO rebuild.
I'm sending it all back to Raylar. Ray said he'd fully refund and pay for shipping, so I hope he's a stand up guy an honors his word. :crossfing:
That's too bad you can't make it Rick. Was looking forward to seeing you again. Hopefully next year.
We could always just tow your Donzi around? Not like it hasn't been done before................:h3:
Sorry to hear about the parts Glen, I also apologize about being short on the phone the other day, I was balls deep in water, my well room had an "incident"......:bye:
You can get the taxes back that you paid, on the back of the Customs form are the directions, long winded process but worth it for what you paid, obviously your out the Seawings costs but everything else you should get back.....what engine should I keep my eyes open for...?????
Bummer..
Sorry to hear that Glenn.
I need to get some numbers on this. SOON.
It can house AFTER Deneen and I and Todd are "tucked in" , about 4 more semi-comfortably. Millions can tent outside if need be.
I also NEED to know WHEN you plan to arrive and vacate. We can get some guest slips at the Marina a minute boat ride away for additional vessels and I can run you back and forth in the AM and evening.
Can't. Tried my best, but I'm out Lenny..
Id really love 2 also, but just cant swing the funds. House is getting a new roof. But, Kill us with lots and lots of PIC's. Because, V I is "totally" spectaular!
I'm in for a day. I can't do more than that because I'll just be getting back from a week of holidays and I'll have to get back to the stores.
I still need to talk to Jeremy to find out when he plans on going (as he's my ride), but I'd like to stay one of the nights as well. I'm more than ok tenting, except I gave away all my camp gear when we moved. If there's no room at the inn, but a tent available, I'm good.
Todd, if you're planning on heading straight to Lenny's (from the ferry), I can pick you up and get you to Sidney which is about 30mins up island. Lenny will have to pick you up by boat from there because the 22 is just too slow under "paddle power". :titanic: Give me a call and let me know what your plans are.
You guys are pretty brave to be sleepng outside in a tent with the pet Tiger lurking in Lenny's vacation island neighborhood ; )
:big: :h3:
Glen, I'll pick Todd up as I have to get Deneen anyways as she is flying back from Quebec and lands at 6:30pm so I am in the vacinity. Friday or Satueday night would work Glen INSIDE the house but you would be on the floor on an air matress or the couch or ... something :)
You would need to bring bedding. ( favorite pillow etc ;) )
Arriving Friday sometime leaving depends on a couple things but spending friday night for sure and I'm working on Sat night with a Sunday departure..
Make it early Mike. I think a number of us are going for a run.
Is Todd arriving Friday nite? I am hoping to Buzz across the Straight early before the 10 footers start rolling. Might stop in
Active Pass and drop a line in for a bit:fish3:
Todd AND Stan will be here Thursday night :D Friday MORN is a run I believe weather pending. Today, all but 80F, Friday, 61 F :eek:Quote:

Have fun up there this week. Lenny, thanks much for the offer. Really wish I could swing it but I can't find a way. -Mike
Next time Mike.
Hey Foggy, Glen, Mike and whomever else local. Bring steaks or what you want on the BBQ. We'll supply the Southerners as Meat is not allowed through the Border and we kinda wanna feed them anyway. ( well, actually Deneen does, I was just gonna keep them watered. )
Jeremy, we need EGGS from your farm. :D
Deneen will shop on Friday locally in the am. We got something for dinner on Thursday night. And friday am breaky looked after prior to shopping. Deneen gets in from Quebec just after Todd and Stan arrive by boat. The 4 of us will be one big happy family going over on Thursday evening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8lEFNrh_QY
Should I pack this harpoon and deep water diving gear sitting here, too?Quote:

Weather update? for the straight? Steaks bought....Rye packed.cigars lighter, forgot the tent down at the Lake..Might need a couch
Look out for Rooster as I'm not quite sure where you are on Piers. I think facing the Ferry terminal with a Canadian Flag. Maybe you could raise the Donzi Flag..
Canadian flag on top, BC below. You got a half bunk bed. Stan will be above or below you. You got the rest right. Now hurry up and get here. Weather shouldn't be all that bad.
:) had to go to Port renfrew today ( middle of nowhere, bear country and land of BIG fish ) anyways, went for a walk to the end of the pier. A forklift was coming down the walkway, ( only guy there ) with two buckets on the forks. I looked inside and lo and behold, they were full of Sokeye salmon filet carcasses that he was going to through to the seagulls. I asked him "how much" and he said you can have 'em. He went back to the processing building and double bagged 'em and I put em in a large bucket.
So, now we have all of our Crab bait for the traps :D ( I was gonna buy this crap at a processer on the other side of the Island. But man, does my truck smell bad... :(
I'm going to be delayed making it on Friday. I have to have a meeting tomorrow morning. I rescheduled it for an hour earlier and I'll call Foggy when I'm done (probably around 10:30am). If you guys haven't taken off anywhere by that time, Fog said he can pick me up at Sidney.
Not sure if I can stay the night yet. I'd like to stay, but I just got back from being away for a week and I'm waaaayyy behind. Depends how guilty I feel about ignoring the business......although I do know that a few beers in the afternoon can go a long way in relieving the guilt. :grin:
OK, see you girls in the morning, Lenny, I have your eggs, plus some home made sausage, Glen, I will pick you up when you call, weather is over-rated.........:h3:
Pics???
