OK PNW fleet

[capt jake]

How about sailing on Monday the 15th? Stump? Noel? Joel (I know you're off), Barry?

It would be swell to get three boats out!

[Stump]

I just sent you an e-mail abut that. I have to work an overtime shift...starts at 1600. any chance on the weekend? If not perhaps somewhere up here so I could get back by then?

[umop_apisdn]

Mondays are always bad for me. Pretty much any Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun this month I can do.

[Joel]

Jake, Could you go in the afternoon?

[Joe Sundstrom]

I have actually copied the plans for ps 22 #22 and am in the process of building a R. H. Baker Puddleduck for practice.

I guess i could crew for now.

[Stump]

Cool Joe, be good to meet you! 8) OK capt jake, you have heard form several of us...now make us all happy :roll: :wink:

Monday morning? Saturday or Sunday? (my pick) or maybe Monday afternoon? :x

[Barry Pyeatt]

As far as I know at this point, I'm in too! 8)

[Stump]

capt jake in strangely quite, perhaps we have put him in a quandary, or maybe a conundrum? :roll: :wink:

[capt jake]

I was unavoidably working..... :shock:

Now let's see if I have this right; we can sail on the eve of the first full moon (but only if the tide is slack) or at the heigth of the tallest shadow cast by the Blue Heron standing on one leg, or I can bring my camping gear and spend the whole weekend? :shock:

Weekends I generaly reserve for time with my wife, as this is very important to me. Monday? Sounds like no matter how we plan it, we will be cutting it short on one end or the other. Are you guys talking about Lake Washington?

Let me check on when the next eclipse of Mars is due to be and I will get back to you. :shock: LOL

[Stump]

Ok, how about this? Sunday at Alki for those that can make it? We could go around the point and try to make Blake Island. 8)

capt jake, there is no excuse to let work get in the way of sailing...wait a minute, that's my problem on Monday! :oops: :wink:

[capt jake]

OK, how many want to do Alki?? I have an 'OK' from my better half AKA CFO.

[Barry Pyeatt]

You can count on me to be a definite Maybe at this point. Will join you whereever you decide to go if I can.

[Stump]

You and me make two, Neal? It's a Sunday? Can you make it? Barry will find a way to be there if it is physically possible for him to. Joe? How about it? Joel? Can you make a Sunday sail? Would that be cool or what? Three boats on the Sound!!! 8) 8) If I were any more excited I would probably wet myself :oops: :roll:

[capt jake]

OK folks....... any commitments? I will be away from the 'puter tommorow (Friday) so I we will need to semi firm up plans.

It would be great to meet some new folks! :)

Stump, it 'warm and fuzzy' not warm and wet. LOL

[Stump]

10:00 OK with everyone? Seems to be my favorite time.

[capt jake]

1000 is fine, but is it just going to be you and I (maybe Barry)???

Come on folks! Joe, Joel, Noel, any others I missed?

[umop_apisdn]

Ok, I am trying to clear my Sunday up. Saturday I will be out on Lk Washington for sure, but Sunday I am not sure yet what I am doing.

BTW, what is the common way for communicating between boats? FRS? VHF? Should I be learing semiphore?

Noel.

[Stump]

I usually just YELL REAL LOUD

[capt jake]

I have VHF and located 2 of my 3 FRS radios. I will look for the third one on Saturday. Stump and I used the FRS's and they worked well. My cell phone won't work at all being as I have a LOUSY provider.

So........3 boats, 3 and maybe a 4th person??? Joe, Joel??

Barry I hope you make it, are you bringing your friend?

[Barry Pyeatt]

I'll be there! Friend has other commitments for Sunday.
