LMAO.....the Scarab is not that bad......I am sure you will be well fed and watered.............

PS. I will need you on the Scarab to tie off the Donzi tow rope.........I believe Thriller is the only one I haven't towed......

No smoker on Piers Mike. Outdoor fires are out of bounds anyway at this time of year. After Oct14th we are good again. This island is like a 3' deep pile of kindling and underbrush.

Need a REAL count of the folks soon as I had planned a fishing ( salmon ) charter for about three ??? )

Your gonna fit three with all their gear on this...?

Hey!!! I was pushing you, remember. That's what did my motor in!

The Scarab is great. 23SCS. It was on the top of my list when boat shopping. Just couldn't find one.

Lenny, is the marina walking distance from your place? I'd probably rent a spot for one night and just sleep on the boat.

**Lenny** · 08-23-2011, 10:48 AM

Nope, the "Marina" is Canoe Cove. A 32 second bat ride away. The local ( on island ) Government dock will probably only fit about 2 rafted boats to be safely away from the others.

**thriller** · 08-23-2011, 09:32 PM

I lay claim to one of those buoys....Not sure if I'm bringing the Blackhawk or the Shammie..Nice to have a choice....The Shamrock burns more fuel than the Donzi so maybe that will be the deciding factor. Is there still fuel at Canoe Cove?

Lenny count me in...WE get home from Disneyland on the 10th...Looks like I will be coming Solo at this point ,as my bride will be flying(flight attendant) This could be FUN..Like really Fun..Check List Beer,Steak,cereal Milk cooler,Rye, Smoke salmon,Coke (as in Coca Cola) Cigars, lighter,couple pairs or underwear and my toothbrush. Fishing Rod....Life jacket.............. I'm so in

**Yeller** · 08-23-2011, 09:45 PM

Boat may not be running for this.....which sucks, but I'll be there for at least 1 day and night. I'll sleep on the boat if I have it, otherwise...make room in the tent Mike. I like to snuggle.

**Lenny** · 08-24-2011, 10:59 AM

Mike, fuel everywhere. Canoe Cove, Montague Harbour, Saturna Island, Poets Cove, Van Isle, the list goes on and on.

Pray for big sun

and bring the Donzi.

We're not going to make it, unless you guys can sneak us back across the border some how. We've just had too much going on lately and haven't been able to turn in our passport apps. I really don't see how we could get them in time now.

If you do this again next year we'll come up w/boat.

**thriller** · 08-26-2011, 10:43 AM

Looks like Adelson might be able to make it as well with his Cherry Aronow 22

**Yeller** · 08-26-2011, 01:02 PM

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....

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.

**fogducker** · 08-26-2011, 01:54 PM

We could always just tow your Donzi around? Not like it hasn't been done before................

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"......

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...?????

**MadPoodle** · 08-26-2011, 05:00 PM

Bummer..

Sorry to hear that Glenn.

**Lenny** · 09-06-2011, 01:10 PM

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.
