    Yes I sold the Scarab, eyes open for an 18' with no motor, can you say, "LSA"?

    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 ??? )

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Seriously, appreciate whatever the locals can provide to make things a little more comfortable on the water.
