this will be the 10th "at.com" long range trip on the spirit of adventure.  we will be keeping the same 8-day format.  last year i had put in a request for an extension of this trip, increasing it from 8-day to 10-day, but that didn't happen for some reason.  what did happen was the jim hart/grady white 10-day trip opening up.  veterans of this trip will now have access to both trips.

all of you that have been on our previous trips will have priority on the 8-day, or the 10-day, or both.  this 8-day trip will be open to 24 persons and the cost for the boat will be $77,510.  that comes out to $3230 per person, or $404 per person per day, not including tip.  i'm going to bump the tip (from 15% to 17.6%) and bring the total up to $3800 per person. 

i will be sending out emails to everyone today.  i will need to hear back within a week, followed by a 50% deposit check.  the SOA office requires a 50% deposit check by february 1st.  refunds for cancellations require that a replacement be found first.  hope to hear from you soon.  alan

I'm in.  I'd rather do the 10 day but as usual funding will be tight.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I'm in for the 8 day. May not be able to respond to your email for a few days, I will be offline. We are leaving Hancock WI, in an hour bound for South Padre Island TX for a 2 !/2 mo. stay. Snow is coming down good right now, I've driven in it all my life, but never pulled a 21' travel trailer down the interstate in a snowstorm. Wish me luck !

Good to gear you retired Dave, I hope things are not too wet where you are now.

Great. My deposit check didn't bounce! Wish the 8 day and the 10 day were a month or more apart. At least most of the "irregulars" are sticking with the 8 day.

  Ok gentlemen, this trip will probably go to the ridge or possibly the rocks. If you look at the map of Baja, I believe this area is almost to Cabo. There is still plenty of room left on this trip for you and your buddies. A chance for catching wahoo, yellowfin, yellowtail and an assortment of excellent table fare fish for the taking. There is also room on the 10 day trip. Let's go! I don't think you'll regret it. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Yup, and it is a fun group to fish with too.

This is my 3 year and would never book on another long range.  Best group of fishermen!
