[MadPoodle]

It's on my "buy another expensive last minute plane ticket" list.. Fingers and toes crossed, but I need to redo some busines stuff that fell apart after Chattanooga before I can commit..

Bag partially packed already, have passport..

RT, if you're taking the ferry to Victoria, I live/work only a few minutes from the ferry. Don't know what you have planned once you land, but if you need someone to pick you up, give me a call. I PM'd you my #.


.......aren't you called the Donzi-Whisperer because no one ever hears you talk about what's really in that engine of yours?

Poodle, sent you my # as well. Whether you fly into Vic or take the ferry, it's not far for me to pick you up.

Awesome way to travel, I think you will be surprised how fast the ferry is....

Do you know where you are staying etc?

Ha Ha....?

I'm going to have a serious talk with my boss tomorrow.

[fogducker]

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]

Bummer..

Sorry to hear that Glenn.

Figured I would be staying somewhere on the Lenny compound or island. I'm flexible.

I got "beds" for 5 including me and Deneen... at the Cottage.

Which is where we'll be

the "usual cast" is still playing lung games at the Hospital ... tonight at 7pm to be exact.

I will have the Whitewater, LE, and X-18 ( dangerous ) available as well as the 11' Whaler and a couple of other things.

As one of the few southern contigency (I am from the south despite my current address)to have made this trip in the past, all I can say is you will be blown away. Fantastic scenary, fantastic boating, fantastic people.......

While I did not have the opportunity to stay at Lenny's cottage, I can't recommend the hotel I stayed at enough. Great accomodations, right on the water, within walking distance of shops, marina, and resturants. Price was not too bad for the ammenities and location either. I forgot the name but Lenny or Deneen could tell you.

I am with Steve, make this an annual trip and I am there next year. For those of you who have the ability to go, GO! You will regret it if you don't!

Have fun guys, I am jealous as hell. I will put a link on OSO, Hotboat, Donzi.net, Serious Offshore, etc.... for this thread.....NOT!
