You need to Join the North Group......it's where all the magic is.

Nice try, Todd! (~; But "go, go,go" doesn't equate to magic for me.

............Either way you're going to have a blast.
We are all going to have a blast! Some of us will just "blow" our fuel budget simply getting to the launch site. )~; Oh well.
Yeah I have been thinking about that.
It's just you and Jeremy coming up from there right, or am I forgetting someone?
Luckily fuel in Canada's cheap....it's only $1.50/litre

They are projecting that we'll get to $5.00/gallon by July 4th. Is there any way to rig a sale to our boats? I hear that there are places in the islands with strong currents - might have to use those in our favor and drift along for a while, where possible. LOL!!!
As to our California group, there will be Jeremy, Mike, and I - three boats total. Jeremy said that he'll be joining the northern group. Mike and I will definitely stay south. Not sure where Jeremy plans on launching. The last time we talked he said he was going to drive up there separately from Mike and I. I think he's planning on taking his time on the way up there. I don't know. The way the fuel prices are going, it might be worth while limiting our highway speed to 60 mph. But then again, what's that extra 1 mpg really do for our vacation budget?
.....
Also 1.50/litre is $5.68 gallon:smt021

Todd,
I am German - born and raised. I "get" the metric system. (~; I was simply trying to point out that the cost of gas State-side is getting out of control as well - though not as bad as Canada yet. But at these prices, "bad" is relative. I wonder, if these boats run on beer? The cost is almost on par! )~;
One pair of shorts and that's all I need. The shorts, and a beer and thats all I need. The shorts, a beer and a shirt and that's all I need. The shorts, a beer, a shirt and a boat and that's all I need. The shorts, a beer, a shirt, a boat and a credit card and that's all I need. I don't need anything else.
Is it time to go yet? 5 weeks and counting!
Arghhhhhhhh! How to get everything done in this short time frame???? I still have to get my truck smoged - hopefully this week, mount my new bbq pedestal base and then figure out how to mount the round kettle bbq to it, mount a fourth battery tray for the dinghy's battery in the engine bay, figure out, where to store 2 crab pots, figure out, how to convince the admiral that she doesn't need as many changes of clothes and pairs of shoes as she thinks she does, etc., etc...... Oh well, I guess come the morning of 7/16 we'll just hitch up the boat and go. No turning back then!
Oh yeah, and then there is the long weekend of July 4th we'll be spending on the lake. No shortage of fun!
I have one as well, but not sure I want to pack that thing around + the tank........... Unfortunately, the burner I have and typically use is one of those large deep-fry turkey burners. It's heavy and takes up way too much room. Hopefully, someone else will step up?!?!
OK, I'll admit it. I've never gone crab hunting. Do I need my camouflage gear and what size shells should I bring? 2 3/4 inch and what size shot works best? I could bring a .45 caliber if that works better? Is there a special permit I need or does the standard fishing license work? I should get my WA fishing license purchased!
We might have some room in our boat to store some stuff, but I haven't talked to the admiral yet. I've been preaching 4 - 5 days worth of clothes with a laundry stop or two along the way. That could still mean 15 changes of clothes for my daughter. My son and I could probably make the whole trip in one set of shorts and a couple of t-shirts!
I knocked out a bunch of prep items last weekend. I cut carpet, stapled down some upholstery, varnished and replaced some trim pieces, tightened up the bolts holding the swim platform on, polished, waxed, washed (I think it was in that order? :grin, replaced all the valves in the faucets, stuck the vinyl name on, tightened all of the piano hinges on the doors and aft seats, and monkeyed with lights, batteries and the fuel sender. Gave up on the fuel sender and have a REAL mechanic coming to take a look. The list is shrinking, but I still have a lot to do.
Hey Mark,Todd, what marina in Nanaimo will you be moored at ? And are the dates still July 22 & 23 ?
Thanks, Mark

Mo and I were thinking of picking up one of these Flex Fold traps
They're kind of spendy, but I sure like the way they stow.
