Mike,

Thanks for the link. I checked it out and it compares to mine
with a couple of exceptions.

Finalizing the lists and testing the setup for the last time. New line
goes on the rods tonight.

Good Luck!

Are you bringing wasabi and soy sauce? I'd love to see a school of YFT under my yak! I'm sure you will see them many times!

Looking forward to the reports.
BTW my spot (original product) works for 1 week plus in tracking mode with Energizer Lithium Batteries never shutting down. Great product!

I'm Driving down to East Cape for the first two weeks in October and if you are still down that way in search of a way back I could give you a ride........I think you're trip ends sometime in September but if there are any delays, the offer stands..

Safe travels and I hope you get into some epic fishing

Wow...good luck! I know your desire for adventure....I could only wish I could do something like that before getting too old (come on lottery!)

paratroops are always told: PPPPPP and KISS - Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance and Keep it Simple Stupid. so that is my best advice, and again...good luck and I wish you a safe and fun journey!!!

OK. Now's when it all comes together or all falls apart...

Launching from Shelter Island on Saturday around 5:00-5:30am.

I was hoping to leave today, but I had electrical problems to
work out. Got those solved, thanks to David at West Marine.

See you all in September.

Feel free to follow my progress at http://wavster.blogspot.com. There's
a link to my SPOT map, so people can see where I am.

Good Luck!!!

I can't imagine the anticipation you're experiencing right now....

Any pics of the what the yak looks like fully rigged??

Someone should show up and take pics of the big shove off, or better yet call the news and get some airtime for your sponsers.
