Getting Around
After you've arrived at Ephemerisle, you're likely to want to check out other islands than the one you're staying on.
Powerboat
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.
Asking for a ride
If you do need a ride, there’s a few things to remember:
- You’re one of many! Boat people get asked frequently to shuttle people and things around! Be patient and accommodating to your boat person.
- 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.
- Boat times are imprecise at best and grossly inaccurate usually. Have a generous buffer for getting anywhere.
Kayak
Kayaks are awesome too.
Ephemerisle is a whole different event when you are in control of your movement.
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.
