Kat,

A direct shot from Gill's Rock to Baileys Harbor for dinner will be about 40 minutes. The route will take you past the Birchwood, not far from the Somerset. You may not make the start of the event (if we do start at 5), but we won't schedule the dinner until 6-6:30 or so. Go for the trip - the dedication won't happen again, and you will be in the company of a lot of your lighthousing friends.

I'll probably have to pass on the trip, but I will do everything I can to work around the timing of the trip. No matter what happens, you know everyone will have a good time.
