I am just getting up to speed but here are my answers. 1. How many people fit comfortably? Are you referring to Jeffrey's house? 2. How many more we invite? Jeffrey will need to decide this. 3. How do we go to/from the island? Jeffrey had a boat (and a captain) that can comfortably ferry about 8 or 9 people at a time.

JefaMI what are the logistics of getting to/from there? If we invite others, what's a good total number to shoot for? Let's lock in logistics for Feb 22,23, then plan who else we want to join.
