 If you can, can, bring a boat! Powerboats are dope — super fun and useful! People will love you if you bring a boat with a motor that can carry people and things.
 It doesn’t even have to be yours! Borrow a boat from a friend and bring it if they’re not going to. More boats = better event. Boats.

-== Winds and currents ==
+But the winds and currents are sometimes no joke at Ephemerisle.  A hard shelled kayak, or at least a kayak with a skeg is far preferable to the basic models.  The inflatable pool toy boats are almost useless at Ephemerisle, unless someone else is towing you.  Read [[Principles of boat design]].

		+
		+	If you do need a ride, there’s a few things to remember:
		+
		+	1. You’re one of many! Boat people get asked frequently to shuttle people and things around! Be patient and accommodating to your boat person.
		+	2. Gas money and/or supplies are appreciated! Boats cost a lot to power and maintain. Help your boat person out with the costs of throwing money into a hole in the water.
		+	3. Boat times are imprecise at best and grossly inaccurate usually. Have a generous buffer for getting anywhere.
