So, shall we open the 4 week window on this?


I heard talk of a whale boat as support boat. Excellent idea. Way more sea worthy.

Oh and SHOTGUN I'm not driving this time.

Good idea!

Just confirmed the whale boat is out....booked and too expensive anyway. I am looking into a few other possibilities for support boat. Is RVYC boat potentially available again? If so, just need to find suitable driver?

I'll be trying to organize a boat and will most likely have to operate it as I am the only member other than skywalker

Race Rocks during a small craft warning can be gnarly so hopefully it'll be a good boat!

tentative date could be august 23rd. ??? thoughts?? I was planning a trip to Nimpkish august 16/17

Could just hire a fishing boat. Then you get to play too. I think John bridal has an idea on this.
