I haven't made up my mind yet, but I may join you. I've got a light, easily launched boat that's relatively slow under power. The Gooseberry Point ramp is...
I wish I could leave on Friday morning too, but I have to work that day dammit! Oh well, maybe you guys can clear out all the barnacles off the landing beach...
Righto John. I plan to check the Gooseberry ramp next Friday when there is a low tide comparable to the one Friday July 7. Actually I'm more interested in what...
I've seen, but not visited that ramp. The Gooseberry ramp would be OK for a few folks, but when we did it two years ago, we were trying to hold several boats...
Bill, Just so others don't think it's an option, Sandy Point Shores is a private facility and unless you know someone there or have a history of bribing the ...
All this talk is making me at least think about coming in my SeaPearl. Is the Seattle crowd planning on launching from Squalicum? Where is Gooseberry? ... ...
Interesting Stan. I wouldn't rule Sandy Point out just yet. I inquired about launching with a fellow in the clubhouse there next to the ramp a few months ago...
Good plan. Originally when I talked my way in, I knew a son-in-law of an owner and he used the ramp to come to Waldron so I used his name and made several...
Well I was thinking of coming, and 2 years ago did the Gooseberry point launch. I don't have a motor so with no wind I'm not sure I want to row from Bellingham...
Hi Tom, I see your 2006 journeys list includes Sucia on July 7-10. If you've contacted us before and we didn't answer, my apologies -- if not, can we post a...
I couldn't get either of these links to work. The one factor you left out of the Sandy Point option is the fact that it's not a public facility, and as you...
Sorry if the links didn't work. Maybe these will work for you... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nwpotters http://p19whisper.googlepages.com/august2006 Tom...
Hi Jamie. I included your July 7-10 trip to encourage other Potter owners to consider hooking up. We had several folks interested in a Sucia Island trip, and...
Hang 'em quick and come on up. If not, we'll see you another time! Jamie ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...
I can't believe it. I got a summons to jury duty for July 3-14. I don't know if this is something I can postpone or ask for a change of dates or what. I am...
Maybe it won't happen. I was called a few years ago but the defense didn't want me -- just as well as it was a long trial. Interesting, though, it was all ...
Me too Jamie. I was in the fire service at the time and we were thought to be "cop sympathizers" so we would get dismissed every time. Stan Snapp 2620...
Get in touch with them right away and ask if they'll postpone your jury duty. My limited experience with jury duty and the tales I've heard from other people...
The last time I got called for jury duty (in Skagit County) I had it down on the calendar and planned to go... but then something else came up and I completely...
Well, I turned in my plea for mercy today--I begged the Jury board to give me some different dates to serve. We'll see if I have any luck. If this ploy...
I don't this there's a time yet; I'd vote for around 10:00, more or less. I haven't checked the tide tables, but its probably less than an hour across the...
I got a tide update from Jamie, which said ebb until 10:00, so a Bellingham launch around that time should work plenty fine - sun's up, breakfast done, I'll...
10 am Friday departure looks like the best time, around a couple hours to accross BHAM Bay and up Hale Passage, by then the currents should assist us to Sucia...
Not that I'll be launching from B'ham Bay, but according to the current atlas you will have a nice tidal push out of the bay up until somewhere between...
Don't have my tables, just a verbal, but bear in mind that tidal flows will be minimal for the first hour or two, and slowly gathering, and similarly tapering...
"Once in Bellingham Bay, there's no influence," I disagree Chuck. True that the current slows down closer to slack water, but there is tidal influence...
To add just one more comment on local conditions. Our predominant summer wind is out of the N W. It often creates problems for anyone heading to Sucia from...
I dont have a tide table...only a current atlas. Bellingham bay does have favorable current as early as 8am. Hale passage starts a favorable current at 10...
