Leidys and I hit up the Summer Sale at Sportmart yesterday. I guess the summer camping season is upon us, and the stores know most campers are already stocked up for their summer vacations they are already on.

Now, let's hope everything fits in the back of the Jeep.:lol:

"DK: most everyone, except certain tea bags, agrees that in last 32 years sea level has risen about 50 to 60 mm"

but - from what datum??
maybe it was down 60 mm 100 years ago? or UP 120 mm 50 years ago?

that's the problem punditing....a confirmed ref point is elusive.

now that dark energy theory has evolved beyond conjecture - the whole big bang time estimate is under suspicion and a totally new physics rules set is being contemplated by the brightest among those who expound on such.

At that rate I'll have ocean front property in Bakersfield in 38,400 years. Oops I don't think I'll be here then.

TW... since Bakersfield is so close to being inundated, just move down here, closer to the ocean and live life on the edge! Anyway, it is closer to Baja. Of course, at a faster rate than the rising sea, Baja is moving north towards Alaska! :rolleyes:

Ken, I'm behind in getting ready for the trip and will likely be leaving later than previously planned. So don't wait for me in San Felipe; go ahead and meet up with others at Shell Island. I will likely be there between 4 and 5PM; if I get stuck in the waterway, I'll hike the two miles to come and get one of you guys to pull me out :-)

Ken, I think there is an extra bottle of propane in my bag, if you don't find any I will share... we just did our shopping and I am home for the night and have a busy day tomorrow... They sell propane bottles EVERYWHERE, including San Felipe... and one lasts forever.

Art, I don't expect any water or very much on the access road being a quarter moon... and you got to Mision Santa Maria with that thing... YOU SIR will have NO problems!!! See you Saturday afternoon, on the island...

@ David - I have one bottle, but it is partially used. I will look for a bottle in San Felipe. We're packing right now.

@ Art - No complaints. I completely understand. Prepping can be difficult work. What if you honked your horn from ACROSS the lagoon coming south from Rancho Percebu? I could drive south to meet you at that point.

When it is at 19 feet or more, the mud flats get water and it is an ISLAND!




Saturday, it will be LOW tide at noon (11:58) and the previous HIGH tide at 6 something AM was less than 12 feet. The next HIGH tide is before 7 pm, and is near 12 feet, as well.

The island will be surrounded by water on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of July... more if windy.
