Roberta -- I'm leaving tomorrow for the May Chincoteague Adventure. Wish you were going here in May! I'm sure looking forward to this trip. Good luck finding someone to share your ride.

Hoping to share ride from the Norfolk airport to the start of the program. Signed up for the 9/8/2013 start date. Landing in Norfolk around 2pm - Looking to share a ride or split a taxi. Coming with one other traveling companion.

Coming to the 5/19 -5/22 Chincoteague Island Adventure. Flying into Norfolk. Looking for someone to share a rental car from Norfolk, VA airport and back.

As I am driving myself from SW OH to Chincoteague, VA for the Sept 16th-19th program #10545RJ I decided to check in on Sat. the 15th. I am wanting to take a caramaran 2 hr cruise around the island - I have spoken to several cruise tours and most are pontoons or 1 is a sailboat that would cost $110/2 people, able to take out up to 6 people with hands on experience.
However, I also spoke to Capt. Carl at Island Cruises, 2246 Curtis Merritt Harbor Rd, Chincoteague, VA 23336, cell phone 757-990-1872. He has 3 boats, a pontoon, a 27', and a 22' - 1 a catamaran. At this time he has no one else signed up for the cruises but neither did the others I spoke to. The catamaran or other boat takes out up to 6 people at $35 each. Same price for the pontoon, I'd just like to get to go out on the catamaran if possible (or other boat if necessary). Of course, to take just one person out is not cost effective. Capt. Carl stated he will take reservations right up to almost the time to go out; he just needs to know he has enough to pay for the gasoline,overhead. He and I tentatively signed me up for a Sat. 5-5:15pm sunset cruise or a Sunday 10am cruise, either a 2 hr cruise, if others are signed up to go. All captains I spoke to said they are open but have no definite plans to sail; that after Labor Day there is not as many tourists in the area. Most of the cruises were pontoons for $35 wherever I called, although he told me one company does charge $25 pp, but doesn't cover many miles. Also the wild ponies and dolphins can often be seen on the cruises, but no guarantees. Cannot get off the boats however, but we will be hopefully seeing the wild ponies with our Road Scholar program. Please call him if interested - I believe he told me he has a website at CaptainCarl.com - wasn't sure if the catamaran is on his website however. Thanks to all for considering this side adventure.

I will be driving on Sunday, August 19 from DC to VA. Anyone initerested in sharing the car rental & drive, Please let me kow.
If anyone else is driving from the DC area, I am willing to share expenses & driving.

Anyone on the East Coast driving to this program who could give me a ride in return for gas money? I'll be in Washington, D.C., and/or Wilmington, DE just prior, and will have to rent a car to get there unless I find a ride. I'm travelling alone, and with very little luggage. Let's be kind to the environment and car pool!
