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.
