Wait, wait, Sunday's Port Alberni is less than 30 km from the Departure Bay Ferry terminal, and right on a road. Lets do the Kits one first thing so there's time to get the ferry! -[[User:Robyn|Robyn]] 01:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

| − | Oh my Gauss, it's perfect. I'm in. What ferry(s) do you think we should catch? I need to be back in Richmond by 19:00, but that gives us lots of time, especial if we do Vancouver early. What do we do with the boats? [[User:Thepiguy|Thepiguy]] 04:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | I think we should catch the Horseshoe Bay ferry, not sure of the timing, but allow an hour and a half each way from the ferry to the geohash for me. I average about 20 km/h. For the boats, we need someone who lives or works nearby who can stash the boats for us. If srs0 isn't in for the Port Alberni trip, we can dump the boats on him, and then you can get yours at work and I can pick mine up on Saturday. I know someone who lives not too far away. I'll ask her on Saturday. Ideally we need someone less hardcore who will come by car and who can keep the boats. I'm thinking about it still. Sunrise is about 6:45 I think. Also it's going to rain. But we're tough.
| |
| − | | |
| − | P.S. I don't mind if you put the hammer down and ditch me at any point in order to make an earlier ferry.

| − | | |
| − | Well, despite what I told [[user:thepiguy|thepiguy]] earlier today, I'm not busy tomorrow, but the day after (Sunday). However, I'm free all morning and the early afternoon. So I'll definitely show up to the one in Vancouver, but unfortunately I can't join you two for the Sechelt trip. Rats! It's so perfect too... :(
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want it, I'll take the boats. That is, I'll take them assuming I can carry them all with me while biking. If not, I can always take the bus back to UBC and carry the boats with me, so regardless I should be able to take them. I'd prefer not to take the bus though, as if I have a bike, I'd rather use it!

| − | Unfortunately I couldn't make it to tonight's geohash for the midnight hash with thepiguy. I was hoping my friend's birthday dinner would end earlier than it did so I could join him, but it didn't, and I wasn't going to leave on a birthday dinner. Oh well.
