    And our new boat is...

    We had our CD-22 for almost ten years before deciding that it was too small for our growing extended family. In the meanwhile we had evolved to where most all of our cruising was done at 8-10K. Our Camano 31 is perfect for us now but wouldn’t have suited us ten years ago. When I put the CD-22 up...

    Marinas in Portland, OR

    Circumnavigating Hayden Island is about as good as it gets for seeing the working/playing sides of the Columbia. There is fuel at Jantzen Bay and if you want a quiet water anchorage just head up the Columbia 5 miles to Lemon Island (the west end of Government island). Donaldson Marina, on the...

    Wallas kerosene heater-only (not cooker) question

    RE: Wallas heater/Stove...for me the wind conditions were critical. I've tried all three (diesel, kerosene and Kleen Heat) and Kleen Heat was the only product that had no smell inside the cabin. In my present boat I have a Webasto which runs on diesel from the fuel tank and I've never had a...

    Suzuki Motors

    From the Guardian: The Japanese company said on Tuesday it would use a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by its US subsidiary in federal court in California to shut down the car business and focus instead on sales of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and boats.

    Veteran's Day 2012

    Recently I was in the Boise airport lounge and I saw a guy in a camo uniform heading up to the bar. As he was talking to the bartender a civilian in the back of the lounge shouted, "It's on me!" On the way back the soldier passed his benefactor who said, 'Thank you for your service." The...

    Manouvering a C-Dory

    One trick someone taught me was to come as close to motionless in the water prior to attempting to dock/maneuver. This was especially true in the Columbia. You're then given clues as to current and wind that you can apply to your maneuvering. It wasn't until I changed boats that I realized...

    Wood boat plans, tender

    Plus the sad fact about all inflatables is that sooner or later they all leak....maybe not much but enough that you need to constantly refill.

    Wood Shop

    One thing you can always rely on here: beaucoup of well-intentioned advice. I've had a woodshop all my life and I wouldn't have much use now for my first one, or my second one for that matter. The point is, the design, set-up and flow of a woodshop (as well as the all-important storage of raw...

    speed

    I remember being surprised at how responsive and fast my CD-22 was after I unloaded it prior to putting it up for sale. Equally surprising was how all that stuff took up a full stall in the garage. It's so easy to load it up without realizing it. BTW, empty I could easily get it on plane with...

    Washing a waxed boat

    How can you wash a boat that's been waxed without washing some of the wax away? I've heard that some washing products have a little wax in them which gets added to the wax that is already on the boat.
