My favorite memories on the Islander all involve bonding with Greg....

Totally understand from a business point of view. Too often they shove off with the bare minimum they were looking to go.Hopefully another boat wants to take on the gamble............remember the Orion........Black Pearl............Bottom Scratcher (kayak scratcher) they all paled in comparison to the Islander and crew IMO, but still offered the opportunities to fish the islands.

we need the likes of jeff bezos or elan musk to solve this.

Thinking of shipping the kayak to catalina and camping over there or just going for it and making the crossing this year. See you guys over there sometime!

Im curious to know if they upped the price, how many would go? If enough are interested, maybe they will make a trip....

Some of the NCKA guys up north are still considering a trip with the price raise.
My advise, would be to get in touch with NCKA or the Islander and see what they are charging.

I'm in Encinitas...North County. I don't know any of the NCKA guys though...

I'll volunteer to put together the trip and start working on the Islander folks tomorrow.

Who on BWE is interested given there will be a price increase?
