The alternative to the "Race to Alaska" this year is the WA360, which starts and ends in Port Townsend. It should be interesting for us since racers will need to pass close to Anderson Island. Here is the plan, starting June 7, and racers must finish within two weeks. . Start just off the...

Agreed that having the stronger motor is better, but the boats are very different. Here are published weights. 23 ft Venture = 3020 lbs 22 ft Cruiser = 1925 lbs 16 ft Cruiser = 925 lbs The "air" profile of the 16 is less than the 22 or 23 also. Considering the 54 (56.5 with "lift assist")...

I have the Honda 90 directly from the starter (lead acid) battery, and the Wallas directly from the house (LiFePO4). Fuses and terminal blocks for everything else. I don't understand why the Wallas is so problematic, but it works that way, and otherwise I sometimes have problems. I have blown...

This was about the same as my experience with the 55 lb on my CD22. It seemed inadequate, though I didn't measure speed. Given tides that can be 3 or 4 knots, and winds that wanted to spin the CD22 around, I found the 80 lb thrust Minnkota to be much better, particularly when tracking a course...

I stand corrected. I typed in "Minn kova 80 lb 54 inch Terrova" to search. I guess I confused the ipilot bluetooth with the ipilot link. Yes, I do have an 80 lb 54 inch shaft (nominal) Terrova Riptide (saltwater) with the square ipilot link remote. The physical shaft is actually 56.5 in to...

James; I have an 80 lb 54 inch Minnkota Terrova with IPilot Link. I'm not sure why you say they aren't available. I see one in the Minnkota store, used, at a good price. Mine definitely has Spot-Lock. It just barely fits on the bow at an angle on my CD22. You can see in the images below. It'll...

Heck, if I was in the market, I'd buy it at the advertised price just for the bragging rights about its previous owner!

Another reason total deaths for Spanish flu and COVID are not comparable directly is demographics. US census data: -------------Age year----<44---44-64---65+ --- population distribution --- --------- percent --------- 1910---81.0---14.6----4.3 2010---50.6---26.4 ---13.0 sorry about the...

Could anybody that is posting about themselves, their aunts, wives, etc., getting COVID vaccines, please post some other relevant information as well? In Washington, certain folks are eligible and others are not. 65+ and 50+ living in a multi-generational household are eligible. If you lie about...

Another way to fight PNW foggy cabins. Foggy PNW windows are caused by water in cabin air having higher total humidity than the temperature of air at the windows can hold. Blowing air on them can help temporarily by heating the inside of the windows, but only blows the humidity itself around...

What do youall think of this unit? https://www.renogy.com/3000w-12v-pure-s ... d-display/ There is a 2000w and newer 1000w model as well. It is an inverter/charger combination with an automatic transfer switch. When AC power goes out, it switches to battery inverter quicker than you can...

Right you are. You don't get any more "Old Bay" then Leanordtown, MD, and the international Oyster Shucking Championship. Here on Puget Sound we do have "Oysterfest" in Shelton, which has thousands attending, eating, drinking and cheering their favorite shucker. If you're ever out this way, try...

..never knew a Merelander that could spell (or talk right for that matter) anyway, particularly one from near 'Napliss or Baldemer. I grew up north of there, near Blair (born in Haver de Grass), near the wer so I don't have a problem.

I travelled 2058 miles, round-trip, Anderson island to Bakersfield CA. More than I hoped for, but no big deal in hindsight. I had tried for two years to buy one, and had made an offer on PaulNBriannaLynn's CD-22 as they moved east, but was second-in-line. I was new to the list, and instead of...

Here are the basic regs... https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing Licenses in WA are moderately priced for non-residents vs. residents, and non-residents can get a 1, 2 or 3 day temporary license. https://wdfw.wa.gov/licenses/fishing/types-fees Of special note would be halibut fishing in the Straits (of...

Well, Halibut season has been announced, and the first (May 13) and last (May 16) day allocated for Friday Harbor are 2 of the precious 7 days available for Halibut. This works well for me, as I intend to try Dallas Bank, weather permitting. We'll probably anchor in Sequim Bay May 12 and then...
