Kevin Hinman Appreciation Fund
Kevin Hinman has provided and continues to provide much infrastructure and labor for Ephemerisle over many years: Bridge Boat (used to push Bargey and other craft), Movie Barge, Blues House, hundreds of feet of walkways, and many other contributions. Providing all of this infrastructure is costly. Please help us express appreciation for his past contributions by donating to this fundraiser:

It's still not too late to sign up for the Sailing & Seasteading Bootcamp, and bypass the many mistakes I've made since my first Ephemerisle in 2011. I also have some berths (bunks) available for a nominal donation to the island fund.

Chuck the Human Launcher
Get launched by Chuck, a steel pneumatically powered human launcher. Chuck will send you flying 20 feet in the air to splash into the beautiful delta green. If you lose your genitals in flight they become property of the ride operators!
Sea Shanties
The Washed Up Yacht Club led a round of sea shanties on Hot Dog Island.
