Spend more time on the river?
Bring sails for the lake?

What seems to be the problem? You got someplace to be on Monday?

[sandrine deglin]

Ken, do you mean Monday August 29?  Because we may not be back by then...

I vote for warp. 

Kenny I do indeed have a ballet rehearsal on monday. You are cordially invited. 

Sandrine, it seems like you have an alternate schedule in mind. What are you thinking?

You said other groups have spent 5 days on the magpie itself. That seems like a good option.
