2 things

Anything with a mouth can bite you. My wife was bitten under somewhat strange circumstances by a stingray, not stung, bitten. Not the end of the world but something to be avoided if possible. Secondly, I've never been of the idea that an apex predator like a great white, or any shark, mistakes a per...

I do wish

Really?

Put out for the bid? Wouldn't putting that out for the bid cost more than actually just fixing the dock? I mean you just need a hammer, couple nails & 2x4s.

bikes

Yeah, I gave a ride to a guy who had been bike riding last year. We went to the hospital.

payment

Generally it's just a per person rate, at some point you just pay the captain for the two of you, generally at the end but have see payment needed at start.

Generally have max capacity and try to match people up but depending on the fee i've made trips with just my wife and the crew.

Countdown has begun

Starting to pack, leave shortly for beautiful STJ. This will be our 4th trip. Already have two sails set with Wayward, snorkeling & trip to Foxy's. We did both last year and decided we had to repeat. Considering the park service trip to petroglyps, has anyone done this? We walked down ourselves ...

We had our picture taken with him last year and he looked pretty much identical.
