Weights on my CD-25, and aluminum twin axle trailer with spare tire. You can open the pdf file for all the weights in regards to the 25, but basically max weight on the 25 fully loaded is 8400 lbs with 660lbs on the tongue. I don't have the file anymore for my prior 22, but it weighed around...

I've cruised with Alain a few times, and believe the boat is in very good shape. Alain, I see you decided to definitely sale DeJa La. I've enjoyed cruising with you, and will miss doing a Sea of Cortez cruise with you sometime. I still wonder when I will be ready to revert back to a land...

When I had my 22, I had window curtains. During the day, we used the portapotty in the V-Berth, where it was kept. At night, we moved it to just in front of the cabin door.

I lost my Uniden MHS75 handheld on my recent trip out west, and ended up replacing it with a different brand. I have a spare battery, antenna and two charging cords if anyone is interested. You can have them for the price of shipping. Approximate weight is 13 ozs, plus whatever the mailing...

The later model outboards are pretty dependable, and if you maintain it, can last quite some time. My good friend Bill just turned 5000 hours on his Yamaha 200 on our last trip out west. I've got 2500 hours on my Yamaha 150. As for changing brands when remotoring, that may also include new...

For the next two months, I'll be on C-Traveler cruising the British Columbia coast with Bill on Mystery Girl, and Mike on Little Joe. Bill is from South Carolina, while Mike is also a cheesehead, from Milwaukee. I'll be blogging at my Find Penguins blog. You can find it at this link...

Gary reminded me, I forgot to also thank John and Robin for hosting us at the Duck Club. This event continues to be one of the best because of all the folks that make it happen. As promised to a few, I have uploaded all the photos I took, on to my google drive. I'll leave them up for a few...

Another great C-Brat event comes to a close. Thanks John and Laurie for keeping this event happening! You did a great job with all the reservations and coordination that has to be done. We left with 11 boats, and we came back with 11 boats! A little rough that first day in San Pablo Bay, but...

Great day to be on San Pablo Bay. Flat, and little wind. But we did have the ebb tide to run against. Just a few photos to upload here. More at my Find Penguins blog.

Just a couple of photos from today. The top one is of Pathfinder 1 flying over the Golden Gate Bridge. Pathfinder 1 airship is almost twice the size of the Goodyear Blimps. Google for more info.

Pretty rough day today crossing San Pablo Bay, but we all made it. In Sausalito at the Schoonmaker Point Marina this evening. A few photos. More at my Find Penguins blog.

Forgot to post on here last night. Had a nice time in Petaluma. The river has really been cleaned up. Just a few photos. The rest can be found on my FindPenguins blog linked earlier.

Today we relaxed and socialized. Some rain moved in. Started the day with a great breakfast supplied by several of the group. Stripers caught were cleaned for supper. Fish and burgers for supper. Just a couple photos. (See more at my Findpenguins blog linked earlier.)

Ok, that's the second time that my photo in vertical mode loaded sideways. Anyone know now to rotate them?
