It can get cold in feb and march but it usually warms up nicely during the day. You'll put your Wallis to use at times. We enjoy Destin and Orange beach. We like the imaginative modifications you've made to your boat. With the under table drawers in place can you put the table down and still...

I don't believe it's a conspiracy either. However the US Dept of Health and Human Services states that " adverse drug events result in more than 770,000 injuries and deaths each year in hospitals" This does not include outpatient adverse reactions. I've had a serious reaction to a medication...

Have a great trip you two. Look forward to your blog:) Linda and Alan

We cruised part of the Suwannee 5 years ago in April and got as far as fanning springs and stayed the night at the state park dock. we also stayed a couple of nights at Manatee springs SP. The springs were spectacular and its a beautiful area. You'll enjoy the cruise. Alan&Linda...

We should also know when we're not in trouble. We were out fishing in the gulf today and the coastguard announced that an EPIRB had been activated and gave Lat and Long. A helicopter was dispatched and when it was almost there they were able to contact the vessel"Money Bags" and found out they...

We've had one for years.I think they still make them. Not very powerful and noisy but extremely light and inexpensive.

We met Henry Clews on his PDQ 34 while on our loop trip in 2008. He told us about his European trip the year before. You can follow his cruise on his Web site : Http://snodoglog.com

we were on the mississippi after major rains and had to dodge many limbs and whole trees.It was exhausting but made it to the Ohio without a ding. the Ohio looked clear and of course we proceeded to hit a submerged log we never saw. It made a hellacious noise and the motor popped up. It was hard...

gm tried to set up a separate company called Saturn with non Uaw workers like Toyota, Honda etc did.They weren't allowed. By forcing American companies to all be Uaw and allowing Japanese companies to set up non union factories didn't we basically hand the industry to them?They make good cars...

As long as the federal gov can borrow .40ct of every dollar they spend at very low interest rates, we continue being the reserve currency, and the federal reserve can print money with impunity maybe we can kick the can down the road and dump it on the grandkids. IMHO it's not if this comes to an...

American gas consumption has recently fallen significantly but India and China keep rapidly increasing theirs.For better or worse it's a global economy.

we used inexpensive car top "rubber" mounts with straps attached to rails and then straps to secure kayak. it's a low tech solution and I was a little Leary about it. however it worked fine and we did the great loop and other trips with the yak on the roof without a problem. Alan There are...

I read somewhere that US gas and oil consumption are down because of the economy. Not too long ago there was a shortage of refinery capacity but now with weak demand it's being exported . There is obviously still big demand in rapidly growing economies like China and India. Let's hope we don't...

Matt- You might try rapping the motor a time or two. If it works it's the brushes wearing out. That's what happened on my Yamaha 40. Good luck. Alan

No problems with the Wallis so far but we probably haven't put the hours on it you west coast boaters do. Our instructions recommended "Ace hardware " mineral spirits for fuel. Should we consider switching to diesel? We use a propane stove top for most cooking. Stuff works great until it doesn't.

We have a 36volt EZGO and haven't had any problems. Our place is 121 acres and we can cruise around for a long time on a charge and it's quiet and comfortable . Nice name for your boat- a Swedish flower. My sisters name is Linnea and our parents named their boat after her.Brings back nice...

Nice article about bill and els adventures and great publicity for c dory and c brats.

you might try the red cliff Indian res just north of town. there's a marina ,ramp and parking. Nothing fancy but the ramp is fine and leaving the trailer would probably be less expensive. We stayed a month there while we cruised the Apostles. Wish we were up there right now. Enjoy.

Since you have to pick up the boat anyway, why not start cruising nearby? It's close to 100 here in Fl. and if I had the opportunity I'd go back to Bayfield as my base and leisurely cruise the apostle islands. Beautiful and COOL. Enjoy your freedom.
