    I am sorry you waited until tonight/today to try to confirm $220 event that ironically is one of our more logistically challenging events. While perhaps the communication could have been better, a quick compare and contrast of this event to past events AND the fact there is no meetup location are tell tale signs - something is different about this event. Still - if you feel you haven't been heard, drop me a line. I am open to discuss this subject anytime next week.

    Really sucks letting me know that 10pm the night before when both myself and my friend have rescheduled our work and made plans for this trip. The announcement clearly stated that to win the trip for free one needed to participate in a contest and then it stated the price was $110. We were simply going to pay the price since I did not have the time for the contest since I have been donating my time to help the fire victims from the station fire.

       What a fantastic place to kayak! Many marine birds and sea lions, and beautiful scenery. Thanks again, Chris! 
    •  It was better than I could have imagined. ...and the food was great too! 
    • Charm Tang (+1 guest)
       An excellent trip! Had a great time, and everything about the trip (transportation, gear, lunch,etc.) was executed flawlessly. It was great to meet new people and enjoy a sunny, stress-free day on the bay with the local animals.
