Post-Islander SCI 4/27- Lost & Found
 

Hopefully one of us grabbed my paddles and I can arrange with you to get them returned. I know I took them off the boat in 2 pieces and put them in one of the carts along with my bags, boxes and rods and reels. But somewhere in between taking armloads of stuff to my car and buddying up to get kayaks back to the cars I must have overlooked the paddles or thought I put them in my hull.

So, please, if you came home with a 2-piece, black handled, red bladed paddle (they are an off brand, purchased recently at Carlsbad Paddle Sports... not a Werner or Onno) could you get back to me here or email me at:

pchartwell@gmail.com

I called Fisherman's Landing when I got home and noticed they were not with me. The Islander had already left but someone had a look around and they didn't turn up. They suggested I contact OEX and I plan to do that as well.

Thanks!

GOOD NEWS! Mine was picked up and they have a few other odds and ends so if you left something behind get in touch with the OEX Pt. Loma store; Adi should be bringing the wayward items there first of the week.

Yep, Adi (sp?) has them... we tried finding the owners of several other items as well. If you are missing anything just ask. (Adi can drop them off at OEX too.)

There are no fish pics because we all agreed to keep it quiet.... and because dink bass photos belong somewhere else. lol That was really a great trip, the boat, the crew, the food, the beer, the tequila, the kayak fishing tribe, everything except the catching fish part. I'm going to try and get out again this season.

I left a seeker rod with a daiwa baitcaster on the boat, unless it fell out of the truck...

Sammy my man your rod and reel are at OEX I believe, nice meeting you all and sorry I got sick all weekend.


Matt

Yep,

Paul and Sam - we got you covered.

Not in OEX yet, I'll drop it off there tomorrow.

I got Paul's paddle and a life vest, Sam's Seeker rig (the one Block almost caught that seal on... lol )...

There's is another Hobbie paddle, lil' tackle box full of sinkers and another set of 3 rods that someone forgot - Saltist, Okuma and Shimano Calcuta bass rig! :) It must have been all the exciting big game fishing we had to cope up with the whole day... lol


The weather was epic, conditions better then anyone could wish for. YTs didn't show up, and you know how it goes with WSB and halibut... :rolleyes:

I have really enjoyed the trip. Islander is 1st class, skipper and the crew are just excellent! Bummer we didn't get big fish to cooperate.

Great getting to know you guys better. :cheers1:

There's also a mini cooler, the red one... :p

It will all be at OEX as of tomorrow 9:00 AM. Stop by and pick it up.

One big bow down to Corey for letting the crew have all the JP money... Noble... :notworthy:

But next time give them 1/2 and move the other 1/2 to WCW winning pot, will 'ya? lol

Thanks Adi! Ryan must have put it somewhere else in the rack after seal fishing?... out of sight out of mind I guess. Nice meeting all you guys, to bad the yellows didnt want to play.

OK...

The unclaimed stuff is at OEX...

We found an owner for 1 seeker rod & Daiwa reel, 1 paddle, and 1 life vest...

The rest is still unclaimed, at least as far as I know.

Here it is:

I keep forgetting:

- in addition, I found a small Pentax battery on Islander deck... Most likely for digital camera... I kept asking everyone while on the boat, but no one thought it is their’s.

It’s got to belong to one of us.

I got it, let me know if you realize later on you're missing it.<O:p></O:p>

The Hobie paddle is mine, thanks for saving it. I didn't get many photos but here's a few.

Saw plenty of marks on the fish finder, just not hungry fish.

That GPS track is cool, Dave. Nice cali on the slug. I forgot to try that. I'll post a few pics tonight when I get home.

Dave, the shot of your tracks with Google Earth is awesome.

Are you using Google Earth Plus or your GPS supports regular Google Earth?

I'm considering getting Google Earth Plus. I can supposedly plug my eTrex data into it. I got MapSource software and can get the similar "big picture" there, but Google Earth is way more cool.<H8 class=pageheader>

I just have the regular MapSource and free google earth, to get the google earth view when looking at a MapSource map just click the "View" button on the top of the page and select the last option "View in Google Earth". I found it by accident and thought it was too cool.

I didn't take many pics either but here's a couple. This one's the JP calico I caught twice.

..And this is the dinner prepared by Paul the galley chef of the Islander. It really is a classy operation all the way around.

Nah...

I had MapSOurce 6.0 installed - integration with Google Earth wasn't there.

I just updated it to the latest version -

Now I see the option...

...but it ain't working... :rolleyes:

Computers... :evil:

got it!

Thanks Dave, this stuff is pretty cool!

Here's my SCI no fish map :) :
