With more than a little hesitation, we launched on Friday afternoon at Cornet Bay and were relieved when Brave Heart carried us fearlessly through the dreaded Deception Pass totally without incident. Had a great time hanging out with all you C-Brats and exploring other islands of the San...

Figuring Oscar into the equation, you probably do! :D

C-5C might be cool.

I'll drink to that! Did you know that Scotch whisky is the only drink to be measured in drams and the size of a dram is determined by the generosity of the pourer.

Ah Bill! The essential element of a screw is the thread: Not the wretched slots in its miserable head. Elegance is achieved when the thread of a screw engages intimately with its mate at precisely the right degree of torque. This marriage is no less graceful than that gained by introducing an...

Only fine Edinburgh Crystal will do … and of course, it must bear the traditional Thistle crest. A set of three can be obtained on Princess Street, doon a wee bit frae the Sir Walter Scott monument.

Och mon aye Jim lad! A wee dram o' that liquid gold would be enough ti warm the cockles o' me Brave Heart!

All of this talk about screws reminds me of the guy who escaped from the lunatic assylum. While hiding in the laundrymat, he had his way with a couple of ladies there then ran off without being caught. Newspaper headlines the next morning declared: NUT SCREWS WASHERS AND BOLTS. :twisted:

Bill Head Nerd said ... It's certainly a mindset I would value in an employee...that was my only point. _________________ Any employee of mine whose mind is occupied adding this cost to a boat would get a dope slap on the starboard side of his scull. Don't you love this whackiness on a gray...

Sorry guys, but to suggest that this adds anything to the quality of the boat is totally whacky. Two bits from an old toolmaker.

I see that COSTCO has a pretty nice looking "carport" with tubular frame and canvas top and sides for about $169.00.

Dreams really do come true! Now that we’ve sailed lazily in, out and around the magnificent San Juan’s, feasted on crab, smoked salmon and freshly caught ling cod, knocked back 2-buck chuck, quaffed finely crafted ales, early morning Da Latte, gunk holed in glorious style, all in the midst of...

I am using 2004 Tide Tables published by Elliot Sales Corp in Tacoma. Data for DECEPTION PASS has days of the week not agreeing with calendar dates. For example, it shows today, April 29th as a Tuesday when it is in fact Thursday. I called Elliot Sales and they say the DATES are correct. DAYS...

Fred, Am I right in assuming launching at Cornet Bay requires going through Deception Pass to get to Lopez Island? If you can talk my wife into it, the boat and I are ready.

We novice boaters are trailering from Gig Harbor on Friday morning. Can't decide if we should launch at Skyline Marina, Flounder Bay or at Cap Sante Marine in Anacortes. Any advice or recommendation would be most welcome. Should be about noon when we are in that vicinity and will be looking out...

We needed some adjustments to our canvas and Dave saved us a drive from Gig Harbor to his shop in Seattle. He met us halfway and did the work in the Costco parking lot at Federal Way. Dave is a good guy.

The following topic came under discussion on another list I subscribe to. You C-Brats may find it interesting. Bill and Evelyn Macdonald 16' Cruiser, "Brave Heart" Samuel Plimsoll, Member of Parliament. (1824-1898) Samuel Plimsoll brought about one of the greatest shipping revolutions ever...
