Try Davis FSR (fiberglass stain remover). It's a blue gel and works like magic. I wax after use. So far no downside to this stuff in many years. Dun

Nick, thanks for the updates and keep em coming. Say hi to the crew for us and SAVE SOME FOOD FOR US! Those T-storms are a nuisance for sure. I hope it will be better in September! Dun

My 1999 22' Cruiser had one center window top hinge support break, and the aluminum piece that supports the nylon rod fell overboard. I called DSG, and they wanted over $700 for a new window w/shipping. I took the window out (not easy) using putty knives, piano wire, and a lot of leverage. The...

To all you August Canal trippers, Have a great time, and leave some food for us! Especially since we now have Fred along. Remember, he loves his ribs! We expect pictures! Dun

Dave, I don't know what other folks plan to do, but last time we did this, one C-Brat did the return trip from Medina in two days. Maybe Fred, or Terry will have enough time to accompany your friend. Or, if we get to Tonawanda early, we can retrace part of the trip and pull the boats on the way...

Hello Barb and Don, The September crowd should be in Brockport on Wednesday Sept 23rd, but don't hold me to it, as our plans remain flexible depending on weather and the whims of accompaning C-Brats. If you'll give me your Cell number, I'll give you a call as we approach your area. Becky will...

Fred, we're launching Sept 19th at Seneca Lake State Park, with the first night in Seneca Falls. we plan to do the return shuffle from Buffalo on Sept 26th or earlier. Dun

Hi Fred, We'd love to have you join us in September. You'd be boat #7 and that would be perfect. We can have lunch again on the bench in the center of Pittsford, one of my fondest memories of our 2005 trip. Tell Sheila you have to go!! Dun

We left the rigs at Lake Seneca State park two years in a row, and never had any problems. We even left our motor home there for a week twice. Others have done the same, and no problems have ever been reported. The trip from the launch ramp to Seneca Falls takes about an hour, and requires going...

I've travelled with the built in tilt support for 7 years and 15,000 miles. Never had a problem. Dun

Hi Fred, I hope all is well with you. I did say MA C-Brats were part of our group...and last I knew, Nantucket was part of Massachusetts...almost. Hope you can join us in Sept. Dun

Hi Wes, The NE C-Brats include those of us in ME, RI, CT, MA and NH, and some in NY, PA and NJ as well. We had a great cruise last year in the Mid-coast region and probably will do one next year somewhere in Maine too. This year schedules got in the way and we are doing an Erie Canal cruise in...

You can buy a canal pass for 10 days for $25 at the first lock out of Seneca Lake at Waterloo, NY. A 2 day pass is $10 and a season pass is $50. See this link http://www.nyscanals.gov/exvac/boating/bctolls.html Dun

Oh, and don't forget the mule and the tow rope!

I agree with Rick on GPS. My Garmin chips don't cover the Erie and you don't need it. I think the new ones may include it. The canal guide is great and all you need. I had a chip for the Rideau and found it helpful. It gives you a nice track that you can follow through the lakes. That way, Rick...

Hi Dave, We made it on our full tanks from Geneva to Buffalo, but there are places to get it along the way, or you can bring a 5 gal can and fill it up in a gas station in the towns we stop at. I think it was about 175 miles, more or less. Fuel is not a problem. Our plan is flexible, as Rick...

Hi Dave, We are going Sept 19 thru Sept 26/27, Geneva to Tonawanda (Buffalo). If you can only do part of the trip, there are other haul out spots also. We will gather in Seneca Falls NY or possibly at the launch ramp in Geneva. The only things you really need are two boat hooks, 3 or 4 large...

C-Tide, Love to have you join us! Dun

Nick, if you want to do September, we'd love to have you join us. Not quite as hot then! Dun

Dear C-Brats everywhere. Since some of us North East C-Brats can't make the August Western Erie Canal Trip with Rick and the crew, three of us are now scheduled to do it in September from the 19th to the 26th. Same meeting place and same itinerary. It's a great trip and if you are close and...
