? Thank you!

Hawaii doesn't allow gambling, so cruise ships have to go down to N 01 59.5' W 157 21.5' as an "international" destination to get some gambling in once they are away from the Sandwich Isles.

Hope you have an uneventful trip. What sort of mileage does your tow vehicle get on the way?

Around 4800 Lbs per hour

Hopefully more people will be able to experience N 05 53' W 162 05' in decades to come -- a rather expensive proposition for conservation volunteers at this time. I dreamed of going there a decade ago but have other priorities at the present. Might you take a hint from Wrong-way Corrigan?

Britts just finishing up a massive cleanup from the 50's testing.

You are going Bananas? London, Paris? Poland? Kiritimati/Christmas Island?
Looks like some good diving down there. Have fun, Be safe.

I should be able to see all three towns on the same day. London now has electricity and an Internet Cafe. The Bone fishing is supposed to be some of the best in the world.

thecatsandi · 07-03-2007, 04:27 PM

I wannna come! I am hoping to go fly fishing next week in seriously rural Idaho.
Electricity? Why?

I've got a new 8 weight rod and salt water reel just waiting to go. I will have every 7 th day off so I should be able to get a couple of good days in the Lagoon's flats

**azflycaster** · 07-03-2007, 05:38 PM

I have always wanted to take a trip to Bonefish heaven! The eight weight should be perfect. This will be a good test of your casting ability. Enjoy your days off and report back!

With photos please.

Leaving in the AM. Delayed since Monday due to lack of the diplomatic clearances. First stop in San Jose CA for the night then on to Hawaii and spend the night, And then Xmas here I come. I have been so busy at work that I haven't had a chance to work on Airstream for about 3 weeks. I will post picks as soon as we get the satellite dish set up.

I made it here (Xmas Isle) 4 days ago and flew ourfirst 9 hour research mission yesterday with another tomorrow. The Island is beautiful and the people are quick to smile. Eating a lot of tuna and have not been fishing yet. No pics until I get back, as it would take up to much band width to send personal pictures.
