07/02 - 07/03, Naked Island, Alaska

Pat, great, you are officially on the list! Should be a fun time. Its a nice run and will give you a chance to strech the legs of your new boat. We should wind up with a pretty good sized flotilla out there.

This little warming trend and the longer daylight hours have to start making us think that spring and soft water is indeed going to actually happen in the not tooooo distant future.
 
If someone knows of a good place to meet up at the island, we probably ought to specify, otherwise a bunch of people could be running around Naked trying to hook up with the others and that might not sound quite right to our southern bretheren, (them being concerned about us prepositioning at each other and such.) I hear Cabin Bay is a good anchorage, but I've never been there, any other ideas?
 
Yeah - it's bound to - now if you only mention Paris Hilton too, you are guaran-damn-teed to get a whole new cadre of members. How many people out there do you suppose are Googling "Paris Hilton Running Around Naked"?
:roll: :roll:

Billy, we'll be scoping out Naked, errr, Naked Island, well in advance of the July cruise for the purposes of finding the most ideal spot to tag up, with a view toward anchorage, beach, spot to build a fire, etc.

Will be a fun trip and looking forward to it.
 
You guys about ready to start a signup and get this gig listed as official? We'll give you all the CB perks. Well, no promises about a photo album until we see just what kind of nature shots you take at these Naked Islands.

Since July is so far off, you all ought to consider an early spring cruise on the Columbia River. Start at Cathlamet the first of April, and it's only a hundred mile cruise upstream to our own little naked island, Rooster Rock State Park.

It's neat to see you northerners getting so fired up about this. It seems everyone up there is always too busy going too many different directions. If you can get the Crimson Coyote to join in an official CB cruise, we will all be famous.

So - July 1,2,3,4, 2005? PWS Cruise or Naked Island Gathering? Just say the word, and one of us will get it set up, on the calendar, and entered into the Upcoming Events bulletin.

Imagine the photo collage this could make for the CD display at next year's SBS!
 
Well, I guess I am not the only one that get's affected by a warm day and a little sunshine..... I think the Sundog crew would be interested if the weather window is good - I have really wanted to check out Naked Island and Cordova is for sure for this summer. So put me down as a maybe if you don't mind a couple of wild fishing and hunting children along.

Joe :hot [/img]
 
Count me in since by then I will have my boat, will probably have a couple of trips in PWS out of the way in something bigger than a kayak, have finished a kayak rack so I can still take it with me, am tired of the Cook Inlet, and the reds aren't in the Kenai yet. I will also have a name for my 22 Cruiser by then.

Hey Mike, thanks for the support. Nature shots.........you bet, ask and yee shall receive. Is it ok if we mix in some pics of the boats too!

A warm-up trip up the Columbia would be cool but the logistics, a nightmare. Also, if it came down to a choice between Rooster Rock State Park and Naked Island, well? OK, I'll be nice and leave it at that.

You can consider the Naked Island/C-Dory a definite go, like in "official", and will probably consist of the 2nd and 3rd of July. That could expand slightly depending on what days work out best for the majority of C-Brats attending.

Yep, the wiley old Foxmaster will have to make it. Hard to imagine him missing it.

Yeah Joe, it would be great if you can make it. The more the merrier. We had a break in the weather up here, temps in the 20s. I couldn't resist getting up in the boat, and do a few things, made motor noises, etc.
The weather will cooperate!

Great! I renamed your discussion to what it is renamed as, putting the proposed dates up front so it will be listed chrono in the Upcoming Events section. It will be fun watching the signup list grow for this one. Dogon Dan as been set as Cruise Director since his is the first post on the idea.

Is it Naked Island or Islands? Google gets you both. Whatever you do, refrain from doing a Google image search on the name unless it is way late at night and you're sure the family is sleeping.

Any changes in dates or destination will be made if you ask.

How many trailer miles do you reckon it would be from NW Oregon?
 
Yep, Dogon Dan is definitely is the cruise director of this venture. Also, work called him out of town for most of this week. No wonder it seems a little quite around here. Enjoy it while you can, Dan will be back on site by the weekend.

Naked Island is appropriate. Also, it is only 2,372 miles from Seattle to Valdez, or approximately 2,552 from Warrenton. A piece of cake for a
big, bad diesel.

Another item of note, Naked Island is one of the few places on earth that doesn't have a Starbucks.
 
Which I assume, Mark, you are mentioning as a point in its favor! Now, if Da Nag would just show up with his latte machine, I might have to consider THIS trip too! Unfortunately, in two months of having a "real" job (kind of a joke, have been doing the same thing on contract for 22 years, as of Jan 1 as an employee), I don't have QUITE ENOUGH comp time built up yet for all the trips I plan to take! But look out, Alaska, I'm coming as soon as I can work it all out! Maybe next July! :lol: :lol:

Right on Pat, I do consider it a positive. Having said that, Da Nag's attendence with his latte machine would obviously be a a veritable magnet for C-Brats everywhere to re-arrange their schedules. Imagine, Bill, in a skimpy apron brewing lattes on Naked Island. Wow!

The welcome light is on and the door open when you decide to make it up here.
 
This sounds just too cool everyone! But what about us with the anglers that moved their ‘pooper… out on the “poopdeck” :crook :disgust :embarrased :shock: :? :| (get the picture... :lol: ) Gonna make for some akward mornings out there… unless we designate just one C-Dory for that duty (and NOT the “Chrisom Coyote” … I ain’t showin!! :? ... (thats a joke son... :lol: ) I been in every nook and cranny of that island, it’s wonderful. I’ll go-a-diggin’ for some pix I took there of it’s mythical beauty. Lookin forward to it, and then the treck into Cordova---to-be-sure!
Had so much fun reading this, I can say “I already been to this gathering”. And it’s so true Mike; we are all too busy going in separate directions up here!
:cry: :?

Oh!, before we meet there Dogon. I spoze I better make an official apology, the way I been harassing and making fun of your photo album… :o :o :lol: :lol: :xnaughty :xnaughty :moon :moon

And another to all you folks that were involved on my site before I pulled the plug on the message boards … (da-ooh) :D you understand …. Don’t cha … hehehe Now it all DaNag Bill and TyBoo Mikes responsibility :lol: :moon … I’m just too lazy for a message board of my own, and your in better hands on this one… you already knew that anyway…
:wink
 
Hey Greg, I figured you would come up with some pics of Naked Island.
That would be great! You've covered the sound probably better and more completely than any mortal soul. Of course that my not be a fair statement because you may fall in the "immortal" category.

Should be a great! Don't worry about the "poopdeck" being a problem. Everyone at Naked Island is broadminded.

We're overdue for this inaugural rendezvous of C-Brats in Alaska. The first of many more to come.
 
You and Duster I swear!! :shock: 8) :lol: :wink: :beer :beer

Sorry bout messin up place with the huge link. I can't remember how to insert them into the words again :crook :disgust (stupid "PHP-site-thing") :amgry .... hehehe :wink: :lol:

I'll come back and erase it later after 'peeps see Naked Is pix I post tonight.

OK: link is out now :wink (see I'm responcible) :disgust

The "NI" pix start on page-8 of my album. I trimed it down a bunch to help conserve Mike and Bills site here now :embarrased :o :o Out... :xtongue :moon
