Catapalooza '08 sign up! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 02-26-2008, 01:01 PM

Itinerary:

Marina del Rey to Two Harbors 4/4/2008:

Departure: 9:15am. Arrival: 11:30am (via Avalon).

Two Harbors to Marina del Rey 4/6/2008:

Departure: 4:15pm. Arrival: 6:30pm. (via Avalon)

Cost $185 this covers you and your kayak to Two Harbors, then your yak across the isthmus and your gear to campsite and the campsite fees as well and back again, if I come up a little over I am buying the firewood as well.

To secure the thirty spots on the Flyer this has to be booked and payed for one month prior. I am asking for full payment to secure your spot by March 4th. Call or stop by OEX Sunset Beach 562-592-0800

This is an open ocean paddle and I highly recommend that only those with sufficient experience attend. I will be asking people to pair (or group) up, so no one goes missing alone.

Wood, charcoal and propane are for sale on site. Camp stoves can be brought on the Flyer, but no fuel is allowed.

Judging the initial amount of interest, I assume that this trip will fill to capacity. After 30 spots are filled I will have a waiting list, for any that have to drop out. The Flyer is only allowing me 10% no show refund, so the first 3 that have to drop out, without time to fill their spot, due to illness or emergency, will receive full refund.

This should be a memorable adventure and hopefully the first of many future trips.

I'll keep everyone posted on availability

.......who's first?

Some links:

Our campsite is #8 this is perfect as it is for groups up to 30.

Ed your buddy Alan just payed for your spot.......whatta guy!

MVC, happy to hold you a spot as well as all the others that have responded.

The official count is 9 people who have given me cc payment info.

The unofficial count is up to 20. In anticipation of 30 people I have to book and pay for this one month prior, so Tuesday the 4th is the official cut off.

peguinpower · 02-28-2008, 07:28 PM

I will be finalizing arrangements with Donfish this weekend and will send payment after Feb. months end.

peguinpower · 02-29-2008, 11:52 AM

Just gave my cc info to Andy. Totally stoked.

He says he's putting out a primer for those going via email.

Questions I already asked:

1) Are the kayaks rolled on and off the ferry (so we can loaded them up)?
answer: - yes

2) 16 foot kayaks ok on the ferry?
answer - yes

3) Coolers ok as checked in luggage?
answer - yes

I forgot to ask:

Is there parking for our cars at the ferry landing? For the 3 days? Not likely, but worth asking.

Good Question! Is there fresh water available at the camp site?

Donfish · 03-01-2008, 09:42 AM

I'm in just gave Andre at the shop my info.

Iceman · 03-01-2008, 01:29 PM

Thanks Don, just got back from Yak Surf Club.

Official count is at 14, with several more hangin' on the fence.

The parking is in Fisherman's Village and the cost is $8.00 per day. The
lot is secure. There is no street parking. Park behind the El Torito
Restaurant in Fisherman's Village and our boat is docked there.

I know there is water, (there are showers) just need to find out if it is potable.

Iceman · 03-03-2008, 08:35 AM

If you want in Call me today!!! I originally planned for 30 and need to let the Flyer know the final count. It is currently 15 people.
