Planning

(More on the Talkpage)

Entirely subject to what the driver feels is most convenient for them. And Elbie will pay gas.

• 9:00 - pick up whoever is coming at seabus north terminal (8:45 departure from downtown)
• 10:40 - ferry to Departure Bay - plan to arrive at ticket booth ~9:30
• 12:20 - drive from Nanaimo to hashpoint
• 13:30 - arrive at hashpoint, celebrate leisurely
• 15:30 - drive back to Nanaimo
• 17:20 - ferry to Horseshoe Bay - plan to arrive at ticket booth ~16:30 [1] (note this is expected to be busy - there may be a sailing wait)
•  ? - drive back to Vancouver, (maybe) get home for dinner

Looks like a good schedule. Rhonda & Xore might make a side trip to Victoria on the way back. If that's the case, we can drop Elbie off at the Nanaimo ferry and she might make the 16:40 ferry as a walk on passenger. Taking the car on the ferry is cheaper (with 3 people) than taking the greyhound to Courtenay and back, too! -- Rhonda 17:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. How many seats does that leave in the car? We should prolly try to fill them to futher distribute the ferry toll. I can send out a message to the interested-in-geohashing mailing list. - Elbie 20:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

There are 5 seatbelts total, so with the 3 of us that leaves 2 seats open. If anonymous is Robyn, one or both of those might be taken soon...

The anonymous edits earlier today were me, sorry - didn't realise my login had expired. I'll go post on the list now. - Elbie 20:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
