We need a leader!

I live in Portland and am here now, creating this site has been the only way for me to contribute to the efforts... I think everyone could benefit from having some direction. So if anyone is able to take the reigns on this one and make some calls, set up a meeting point (like one of the harbors) and a meeting time that everyone could gather, then spread out that would be great. Bring maps and make a plan. Gunther and Sean COULD still be ALIVE!!! Can anyone do this? Please...

    These are the spots Katie and I did today:
    From Marine park along the shore and railroad tracks to Chuckanut Bay.
    Earlier, I searched the perimeter around the bay and up to the tracks where Katie and I stopped.
    If everyone writes a comment about their own search, we can get a better idea of the places we have missed.

    Perhaps Jeff could leave us a comment to tell us where the boats are and we could all meet there at noon—Including Skagit Co-op?
    If we each print a google map to bring with us we can highlight and designate areas.

  5. I am talking to Jeff on the phone right now.
    His boats are at the boat launch in Fairhaven behind the Greyhound Station. He will be there at 11:00 am. Has life jackets for 5 needs one more life jacket. Anyone with a Kayak or water craft and are willing to search can meet there in the parking lot.
    All search volunteers bring a google map of the area.
    Lea will be there at noon for walking searchers and boat passengers can to coordinate with Jeff.
    All search volunteers bring a GOOGLE MAP OF THE AREA .

    SO...
    Parking lot Greyhound Station 11am. All Help welcome!
    Bring a map
    Watercraft if you have it.
    Skagit Co-op, is that okay with you?

  8. I'm a close friend of Gunther's from high school and college. Is there anyone that knows Peter Van Zanden or has contacted him?

    Thank you for setting up this blog. I just found out today what happened and am in shock. I saw Gunther just a couple weeks ago here in SF.

    Best,
    Dennis Pasco
