There were about 50 to 75 people on the ferry I took ( going west ) with Jolly Roger "flags" tacked to their backs where the Cascadia folk had there numbers. I asked someone what club they were with, but didn't understand the mumbled response. Would that be Point83? I've been invited to ride with them ... but haven't (yet).
