2008 Jul 18th-Aug 3rd Seattle/San Juan Island/BC Gulf REDZVS

Todd,
Is that a picture of you entering the channel to La Conner?
We are a part of the first wave from Sacramento to be in the San Juans if the price of diesel dosen't keep us more local.
If all goes well we will be up and in the water 7/13. We will launch in Bellingham. This will be our 6th trip up.

Hey Mike,

I think you got your dates wrong - unless you plan on leaving ahead of us? The plans we'd discussed to date were for us to leave Wednesday morning, 7/15, launching out of Bellingham on Thursday the 16th in the late afternoon, with the intent of sorting out the boats at a slip in Bellingham that first night. Are your current intentions diferent??

Hogler, it's me Carl.

Duh!!!! I need more coffee! I hate Monday mornings..... (~;

Welcome to the list, Carl! Btw., Mike and I decided to also launch out of Bellingham, but as I stated, not until that following Thursday. Maybe we can still meet up with you in the islands somewhere?
 
This thread is now over a year old. To think that when I suggested it I was in the old boat and I was anticipating buying a 260DA. Wow, it's kind of weird to read back.

Anyway I'm really looking forward to this trip and hope everyone else is as well.
 
I have put in a request for Skagit County Parks Dept. I had asked if there is a way to get around the 14 limit for our trip. They Just called me back.

We can get a special use permits from their office for the Swinhomish Launch. I'm not too worried about thefts or leaving the truck there for that length of time.

Anyone interested let me know. I think that may be where we'll decide to launch from .
 
I would suggest to launch at slack tide if launching there. It is a nice launch but can be fun when the slough is running.
 
Is there freshwater to rinse available or do we do that elsewhere? Gotta rinse that trailer you know! Well, that's what they tell me anyway. I've never had to do that before!
 
Hello Todd and eveyone else.
Thanks for letting us join in the trip. :smt038

We have an 04 Meridian 381.

My wife Julie and I, along with our kids Ryan ( 7 yr old girl ) and John ( 4 yr old boy ) are really excited.

Ryan would really like to know if anyone else is bringing kids or dogs?

Let me know if I can do anything to help with plans, etc.

Scott, you didn't say, wether you were planning on joining the northern or southern group. The northern group will stop in the San Juan Islands only briefly, before heading north to the Gulf Islands and beyond. The southern group (and the smaller of the 2 groups) will remain in the SJI's for the duration.

Personally, I am part of the southern group.

Welcome, regardless!

Thanks for the welcome, we will be going north. :grin:
