Channel Islands Quickie?

Sounds good to me. The 24th is fine with us.
Tried to get out last weekend--- rough on Saturday, one of the guys got sick so we came back in. Still high swells on Sunday, went up to Ventura for breakfast. Took Sue with us, since Joel ran away from home again. Wink

Roger,

I can't think that far ahead these days. If I am not flying and Sonia lets me I am up for it. I will let you know as the 24th gets closer.

Yep.....went out Monday, and TWO of my passengers got sea sick! Cool so we have three boats for sure and maybe scott.

Scott, can't you run away from home like Joel too?! Razz

Gee, guys, don't forget us . . .

Unfortunately, we're up to our eyeballs in the Auxiliary OPEX that weekend in Long Beach. Dive Cat got facilitized and was out for the first time last Saturday and Sunday with crew and coxswain trainees. Out again this weekend and Monday.

Hope you have good weather and a great Gathering!

Bob Cat

PS: We'll be up in July for the cockpit bimini.

Hi Bob,

I hope you did not feel left out. I don't always get on the site as often as I like too, so I'm a little behind the power curve with all the newer names and boats!

Anyone else I missed, want to go? Very Happy

Would love to go but I'm already committed to a patrol that day, plus photo duty for SeeBee Days at the Navy Base. Would have been out doing a safety patrol for the Hokalua Canoe Races out of Ventura, but my back went out yesterday and I had to cancel. Hope to be in good enough shape to go to Yellowstone on Tuesday for four days.

Hey Ron, any ideas on schedule or locations next weekend? My cousin will be taking his boat out too and would like to hook up -- but he's a pretty serious fisherman, might not be able to relax like us folks...

Roger, bringing your gear? We probably will.

Bob Cat, are you going to clue us in about where you saw all those lobster? Pedro Point or around the corner beyond Yellowbanks? Would love to see ANY lobster, in season or not.

Steve, we anchored up in one of the very small coves running from San Pedro Pt NW on the inside. There are a lot of caves and crevices along there, and it drops off pretty quick. We call it Cavern PT. The current can be strong enough to pull lobster trap buoys under. If you can find an isolated pinnacle, you may be able to get an easy limit of scallops. I go in to the wall, turn right, go as far as I can, then come to the surface and float back to the boat.

Water down here is like a lake. Have fun!

Steve and gang.

I have been out on business travel this past week and I am really looking forward to getting out there next weekend.

Why don't we shoot for a 9:00am departure from the landing.
That is waht we did last time we tried this.

Any other ideas?

Steve,
Of course I'll have my gear. I know where some bugs are, I'll show you how to pick'em.
See ya'll next weekend. Cool

Great! That's what I wanted to hear Roger. 9am departure sounds fine Ron, we might leave from Ventura though, so much easier and closer for me. We can play by ear to dive or fish first depending on weather, waves, current. Anacapa caves also, got to pick out a few Ron.

Forgot to ask but I'm planning on a overnighter. Is that the plan or single day only for others?

Anybody else want to come along, this will be a good 'starter' trip for newcomers. I know there's at least one new local owner that wanted to join us, just can't remember their name -- don't be bashful...

I was planning on overnighting, just like last time!

-wish we could go, but my future son in law has his first beach dive early Sunday morning...we can't miss it. will try to make the next one!

Sam and Kerry,
We'll miss you. Congrats for the future S.i.L.
My dive buddy bought a boat last month, he hopes to be able to join us this weekend.

Congrats Sam and Kerry, what a great event! (BTW, I knew your daughter wouldn't stay single too long, gorgeous and smart, tough combination...!) He sounds like a great guy, should fit right into the family.

We'll get together one of these weekends for sure. Actually the weekend after the Channel Islands Quickie, I plan to head for the Isthmus on Saturday and return Tuesday July 4, plan to enjoy the July 3rd fireworks there as I do most years. Maybe you can make that weekend?
