If I'm coming as far as BC, might as well go all the way to the QCIs. They sound great. August works for me. Is that the best weather, water temp?

August and September are the best times for weather/vis at the north end of Vancouver Island, and I don't see why that would be different. Granted, I've seen 130' horizontal at 130' deep in winter, but that's not the best time for a holiday like this. Plankton blooms always seemed worse the further south you went (ie:Gulf Islands), but even then they were just in the top 5 metres or so, usually opening up to great vis deeper.

For planning purposes, hurricanes make late August and September an iffy time for me, can't leave if a biggie is anywhere near my home. They are not usually much of a threat before then (knock on wood).

Ideal for me is the second week of September because Guy is back in school then - which lightens the ambient load around here. But I'll try to fit in with what the masses decide. Sounds like an awesome trip - anyone have info so we can start putting numbers together?

I'd like to make an 'executive' decision so that we get closer to being able to book flights etc... how about August for sure. It seems that most can make that. If we can hone it down to a 2-week period that'll be the next step. Chris I missed you on the first one, and Connor we're also overdue for a 3D+time meeting.

Great stuff Colin. Your recent SWB experience makes me think that we should all try to adhere to a buddy system if agreeable. I wouldn't want be posting a thread on the loss of a friend at such a great event.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to stalking huge Ling and small Halibut! Being able to take a batch home will be nice too.

Anytime in August is ok with me. Early is better, but whatever everybody can work with. Just pray for no hurricanes anywhere near take off time, and none later, either.
A few years ago, I was in the Bahamas diving and a big one was headed to Sarasota. My homebound wife was going nuts as I was the only one who knew how to get the shutters up and we discovered that a whole bunch of the hurricane supplies were on the boat with me. No planes were flying and there was no way for me to get home. Its the kind of thing that your wife does not let you forget. Anybody have a clue as to how well a sling will work in the QCIs? I haven't shot my Sea Hornet in so long that I'd hardly recognize the trigger end. Connor Last edited by cdavis; November 29th, 2007 at 22:32.
