Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 15:16:58 -0700 From: Steve Eittreim Subject: Final project meeting MBMS folks, Roberto and I have been mullling over an idea for some time for a final project meeting at Angel Island. Robertos sailboat can accomodate about 8-10 people across from SF, and mine can accomodate about 6-8. The Angel Island setting might provide a relaxed, "detached" setting that might be helpful in ruminating/philosophising about our just-completed project. What did we do right in the project? What did we do wrong? The sail across from SF would take about 1.5-2 hours, so if we daparted from here at 10, on say a Friday in late September (Sept 29 tentative), we could make it for lunch at a picnic table and then have our meeting. If some folks would rather take the public transit route rather than trust the helms of Eittreim/Anima, an/or if there is an overflow crowd, we can schedule things compatible with the Blue next iteration MBMS folks, Some have suggested that Fridays in general, and especially Friday Oct 6 is a bad choice because it is a long holiday weekend and people might be heading off early for a trip. Perhaps Thursday, Oct 5 would be better? Give me your one-liner feedbacks please if youre got some preferences. Thanks......Steve Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 14:19:58 -0700 From: Steve Eittreim Subject: Final project meeting MBMS folks, There are now 8 of us heading off to Angel Island for our last project meeting on Thursday (Anima, Degnan, Lorenson, McGann, Ryan, Wong, Orzech, Eittreim). There is a Blue and Gold Fleet Ferry leaving for Angel Island at 11:30 from Pier 41 arriving at Angel I at 12:25. So any of you who would rather take a faster, more stable platform could meet us there in Ayala Cove. Roberto and I are planning to push off the dock at South Beach Marina at 11 am, so we should be arriving at Angel Island at about 1 oclock plus or minus. Robertos boat is 32, mine is 30, so we can easily accomodate 4 in each. We will supply drinks and sandwiches, with a cup on the table for donations. So Im planning to leave Menlo Park at 10am on Thursday, and should be arriving at the boat at 10:30 and can take 3 or 4 with me in my car. If youre coming from the north or east and want to meet us at the marina, look for us going out to F-Dock at 10:30. South Beach Marina is right next to Pacbell Park. You may have to look around for parking, but I think I can get a parking sticker for one other car besides mine to park in the marina space. If there are any others who have not yet expressed an interest, we can take 2 or 3 additional people, still in reasonable comfort. So let me know if youre interested. Those leaving from Menlo Park at 10, lets plant to meet at the flagpole in front of Bldg 3 and push off at 10. We need one other volunteer driver, if there are more than 4 of us leaving from here.......Steve Stephen L. Eittreim 999 US Geological Survey 345 Middlefield Rd. eittreim@octopus.wr.usgs.gov Menlo Park, CA 94025 Bldg 2 RM 2239; phone 650 329 5272 Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 09:48:24 -0700 From: Steve Eittreim Subject: Final project meeting on Angel Island Sailors, Our Angel Island outing on thursday is now up to 12 participants. Wendy Dahl and myself will have cars at the flagpole on Thursday at 10am for those of you leaving from here. Some will be joining us at the dock (near harbormasters shack, or on/at Robertos boat "Velero" hopefully within veiw of harbormastters shack? - Roberto will be sailing up that morning from Coyote Pt). We should be arriving in cars at 10:30 and leaving the dock at about 11am. Depending on weather, etc, I envision getting back to the dock at about 5pm, but we can vote on that as our first agenda item for our meeting, depending on weather, peoples needs, etc. The Giants have a game at 5:18, so traffic around the stadim will be pretty messy until after the game starts. See you all Thursday morning. Let me know if youve got any questions, loose ends Ive forgotten, etc......Steve Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 09:16:13 -0700 From: Steve Eittreim Subject: re: Final project meeting on Angel Island Brian, Yes, youve been trashing too many of your emails. Ive got lunch and drinks all taken care of for the Angel Island do. Maybe Ill copy this to all so everyone knows that. 10am at the flagpole for a ride up. Look for me or Wendy. Mary, Holly and Jingping are finding their own way to the dock. Keep in mind that a light rail line leads from Bart to the dock now......Steve
