To reserve your spot we must receive your deposit check for $60 by March 1, 2003. Checks should be made payable to “Lois Ann Dive Charters” and sent to Tricia Parker c/o USFWS, Red Bluff FWO, 10950 Tyler Road, Red Bluff, CA. The total cost of the trip will be $100 maximum, depending upon the number of divers, with the balance due on the day of the trip. A full boat is 20 divers. For more information on the trip, contact Tricia Parker at Tricia_Parker@r1.fws.gov or Chris Wilkinson at cdw@water.ca.gov. Check out the Lois Ann’s website at http://www.loisann.com or see underwater photos of the Coronados at http://www.dayoscuba.com/sd101599.htm. Overnight
Sport Fishing Charter to San Clemente Island
The Cortez is located at Seaforth Sportfishing, about ¼ miles from the Hyatt Islandia. Tackle is available for rent ($15.00) and a one-day license is $7.10. For those with annual licenses purchased in northern California, you’ll need to buy an Ocean Enhancement stamp for $2.65 since they probably didn’t include it on your license. The cost of the trip is $110.00 and includes your bunk, live bait, and crew tip. The trip is limited to 18 and your spot is reserved when I receive a check for the full cost of the charter. The galley will be open for breakfast and lunch with the possibility of remaining open for dinner if we are out late. You can have your fish filleted on the boat as we return from the island. I have chartered the Cortez for many years and always enjoyed fishing on the vessel. If you have any questions, please contact me at: Steve Crooke For those interested in sport fishing trips, two landings are located in Mission Bay. Islandia Sportfishing is adjacent to the hotel and Seaforth Sportfishing is located a short walk past Isandia Sportfishing. Checkout the landing at the following web sites if you are interested: http://www.seaforthlanding.com, and http://www.islandiasportfishing.com Water Craft including sailboats, motorboats, personal watercraft, kayaks, and paddleboats can be rented at Seaforth Boat Rentals, the Islandia and Dana Inn Marinas. Bicycles and other self propelled vehicles are available for rent from the Hyatt's Activities Center and vendors along the marina boardwalk adjacent to the hotel. If you brought your own boat, a public launch ramp is located behind the Dana Inn. Live bait and tackle are available at the Islandia Marina. Two Post Meeting Field

Join
your AFS colleagues on a chartered dive trip off of San Diego’s coast
to finish up the week of annual meeting activities. We will join the
Lois Ann and her crew for a full day of diving on Friday April
18. The boat will depart from the dock at Seaforth Landing near the
Hyatt for an hour-and-a-half trip to the Coronado Islands (looking out
for Mola mola and California flyingfish along the way). The Coronados,
in Mexican waters 20 miles from Mission Bay, are known for 50 foot visibility
and dives in the 10-65’ depth range. Don’t miss this opportunity to
dive with your friends and the local marine life in some of the bluest
water off of San Diego. 
Trip

snack. Bring the rest of gear or rent it locally.
