I'm trying to get an idea of how many people would be interested. Please only vote once for one of the first three choices. If you have your own boat to bring check yes as well for that one. If it is more than you, please post a note as to how many additional (not including you) would be in your party.
GACK! I forgot to add the boat question and can't seem to change it now.... I'll check my Mod superpowers and see if I can... Nope.

Is there somewhere to moor a boat nearby? I would need a slip and not just an anchoring area.they got a fancy one that will allow you to inspect the bottom of your boat!

There are no slips but I can likely round up mooring buoys. Load/unload dock access would be granted.Is there somewhere to moor a boat nearby? I would need a slip and not just an anchoring area.they got a fancy one that will allow you to inspect the bottom of your boat!

JJB11B I'll have to admit that was cleaver. :chuckle:
Don't worry Loki, he would probably not be able to travel that far on water before becoming violently sea sick and turn back in his john boat. :peep:

Which side of the island?
Underside.... :chuckle:
Dock access would be on west side, public ramp is on the east side.

How far is the swim from the mainland? :dunno: :chuckle: or I can start to practice my hitchhiking thumb :tup:
@Smossy's Girl
Oh you'll make it no problem, it's about 45 min if I remember right, shorter then the English Channel I think. :chuckle:

From the marina 6 1/4 miles, but if you get a running start and cliff dive at Washington Park, it is probably less than 5..... :chuckle:

:yeah:
Just start two hours before the slack and you should get there about two hours after. ;)

I didn't vote on a date and I don't have a boat, but I would be glad to help cover expenses, and I could bring BB/pellet guns, etc. for kids target shooting, if desired. I'd understand if there were too many riders and not enough captains. But otherwise, I would be 2-4, depending on wife and youngest, if we would make it.

I didn't vote on a date but defiantly in! What are the restroom facilities like? :chuckle: it would be cool to get a Hunt-WA flotilla out there fishing and crabbing for a day or two.
We have lots of trees, for the guys anyways. ;)
Did you pick that spot because of trump island?
Nope, picked it because people I don't know hate it when I invite friends over to party in their back yards.... :yike:
I built a really nice greenhouse on Trump Island a while back.

Lokidog has the contact info.

There is a charter ferry that goes out there, maybe if we had enough people we could get a deal for the weekend. :tup:
Lokidog has the contact info.
It would still be $30 or more per person,I think, even with a group. Boat pooling would be cheapest and no worries on meeting the shuttle schedule.
The toughest part is parking at Skyline Marina.

People could also ferry to Lopez island and us with boats could go pick them up.
Yes, Hunter Bay dock would be the closest (3 1/4 miles). However, parking could be a hassle there that time of year as well, plus the expense of the ferry is not cheap.

better option would be to take a state ferry to Lopez island, then you only need to swim 1000' :tup:
Post by: lokidog on February 17, 2017, 12:09:31 PM
Would this be weather dependent at all? If the crossing gets nasty, folks might have to be prepared to hang out on the island a while until the "shuttles" can get them home.... I don't know if that's a concern at all or not?
Beginning of August? I can pretty much bet my bank account that it will be warm and dry, and likely calm.... ;)

Better take your HuntWa sticker off the back of your truck or you will be turned around at the ferry landing. :chuckle:

I'd still like to do this some time, maybe next year.
