It would be great if you could make it. Having a 60, 70, 80s, a hundy, and a Tacoma would be great for photos.
Called the ferry. They only have AM slots on Friday, and having just taken nearly three weeks of PTO, I can't take any more time off in the near future.
Gonna miss it. Next year

TBH if I had the choice between Portsmouth Island and Europe, I'd be brushing up on my French too.Called the ferry. They only have AM slots on Friday, and having just taken nearly three weeks of PTO, I can't take any more time off in the near future.

@GLTHFJ60 what time did they have on Friday? I got the 11. Just walk on the ferry
9am and 11am when I called earlier today.

That's a good idea for people who might not want to take their truck to salt bath city anyway. The cabins are maybe 200 yards from the ferry dock, but we could pick you up if we know when you're coming. There are bound to be some empty seats in other trucks. I can put at least one of my second row seats back in if I need to. I'd also be happy to procure and transport any store bought supplies to lighten the walk-on load if somebody goes that route (beer, food, etc). You could pack your gear in an empty cooler for the trip over, then buy ice on the island for your cooler needs. I'm also curious if they're basing ferry spots on the smaller ferry or the larger one that they've previously been able to bring in for overflow.@GLTHFJ60 ...... Just walk on the ferry
Short version: We can make things work with just a little advance notice.

I'll also add this - there is currently cabin availability for one of ours on Wednesday 11/15, and for another of ours on Monday 11/20. If somebody wants to be flexible on the in and out, and can get workable times with the ferry service for Wed or Mon, I'll cover the cost of adding one or both of those days. My thought here being that posting this thread 3-4 weeks earlier would have allowed more time for people to arrange their ferry rides when there might have been more available slots (not that some of us would have actually done that!). Either way, the offer is there until the cabins are gone.
This offer also allows for anybody with existing ferry slots, and Wed & Mon flexibility, to possibly coordinate with others who don't have flexibility and can't get a slot to just swap ferry slots around as needed, if they'd be willing to arrange new slots and give their old to the other folks. You get the idea...legwork, but doable...please post here if you're on either side of that equation so we can see what turns up.

I should have room for passengers in the 100!

If you don't mind, and if @GLTHFJ60 isn't coming, do you mind if I grab that seat with you? I'll have my truck with me, but I wanted to shoot lots of photos this trip. I got the best shots by riding shotgun last time. Driving and shooting photos sucks.
Sure, If I do not bring a lady friend with me
Can always ride in the back seat as well.

They call me Tim...
I'm trying to make the call. It's right before the Thanksgiving break so I'm not sure I can get the PTO. I'll have a decision by Monday - but of course, don't wait for me this is just an FYI.
