08/17 - 08/23 - 2008 Catalina Island Adventure in Paradise

Islander · From 17 Aug 2008 to 23 Aug 2008 (included)

Hi folks,

I spoke with Mike and it is time to start thinking about the 2008 Adventure in Paradise. This years event will be August 17th thru August 23rd. Mike as many of you know has spearheaded this great tradition since it was just two boats back in 2000! This year Mike will again be busy with his obligations for the Coast Guard; and he said it would be Ok for me to hone in on leading this event. Thanks Mike for starting this great event! Smile

So if we can get a sign up list going we will start the planning. Details to follow.

I was hoping for the week of August 24 to 30. Oh well. Sad

We have a "camp out" with the motorhome group at a friends ranch August 21-24. Guess we'll just have to leave "island time" early this year. Rolling Eyes

Ron, count me and Kath in. I think I have come every year, but the very first.

Thanks Ron for taking over the commodore role. This will be the first year we can attend the entire event.

We are anchored in Cat Harbor at the moment and can only hope for weather like this in August...it's just not fair to have such incredible weather this time of year.

I've put in for the vacation time off, now it's up to the factory to do their part.

Joel- you want to run over with us from Channel Islands Harbor on Sunday? We'll be leaving the Island early Thursday morning in order to meet up with the motorhome group on Friday.

Just so you all don't think I'm flaking on you.........I'm REALLY busy with the Coast Guard now that I'm crew qualified on an active duty boat, the 25' RB-S. That's the boat you see with the bright orange collar around it, skipping along at 45 knots with a machine gun mounted. Who said 70 year olds can't have fun!! Here an article in the current issue of Navigator Magazine about me and my "Amigos". See page 3. I still will try to make Catalina, however!!

WOW WOW! Way to go at 70 years!

With my bad knee I could not run a mile and one-half at my age of 59. I am impressed with your discipline. Maybe Levi Strauss should take you back!!!

Mike, Congratulations and see you at Two Harbors.

Had to miss Paradise in 2007 and have been struggling to remain well adjusted to the world since... so I definitely won't miss it this year! I only took C-Pup out to sea twice in 2007 and not yet in 2008... Cry

I truly miss seeing ya'll! Let's catch some yellow tail just outside the harbor like I did in 2006! Teeth

Roger... bring your guitar and a steel mesh gloves to wrestle with Blaze! Wink
