In 8 days the first Oex mothership trip of 2016 will be leaving. We wanted to let you all know that we are going to begin charging the remaining balances today.

I just received a call from John Conniff the owner of the Islander-

He informed me that the Islander is waiting for a steering component that is stuck in customs in Canada and it will not be delivered in time to make this upcoming trip. (May 20-22) The boat would not be operational without this new upgraded steering component. It was suppose to have been delivered last week. Also a concern was the upcoming weekend weather forecast. Looks very ugly right now.

So John has proposed these options: (For anyone already on the roster for the May 20-22 trip) He opened up two dates, these dates are not a trip that was already on the books:

Option 1
May 27th-29th Fri-Sun

Option 2
June 13th-15th Mon-Wed.

Please let us know if any of these dates will work for you.

You can call the shop at 619-866-6129

Hi,
Bill and I are on the 5/28 trip with our PA12's
My question is: How will the PA's be stowed while in route to the destination?
I've seen pictures of the other yaks stacked on their sides.
Will this be the case for the PA's?
I'm just trying to plan how I will need to load my PA.
Thanks, Scott

The PAs usually sit flat on the bottom. But do the crew a favor and don't load anything on it for the trip over and back. They will give you time to outfit it on deck or in the side racks before launching. Even then consider what you can have handed to you when you are in your yak. Then put that stuff away while your bait tank fills up away from the boat.

Thank you Greg
It's a lot lighter if I keep the pedals and batteries out of it so I'll store those in a separate crate

We unfortunately have to let everyone know that we just got a call from John the owner of the islander and this weekend’s trip is off due to lack of sign ups. If you were on this weekend’s Islander trip that was going to run the 27-29th of May, you will have the option of receiving a full refund or $50 credit towards the trip that we will hopefully run June 13-15. Please call the shop at 619-866-6129 if you have any questions. We are calling everyone who was on the trip individually right now.
