Nov. 19-21 is the annual Pacific Marine Expo at CenturyLink Field Event Center in Seattle. Although this show is aimed at professional Yacht operators and Fishing Fleets, it has myriad items of interest to all boaters. It's free and you can register online at www.PacificMarineExpo.com A few...

You'll notice that the shower enclosure, stove, sink, plumbing, helm stations and steering is all on the starboard side. Adding a Port water tank or batteries under the dinette will help even things out. Load the fridge up with beer too! :lol:

Westie, The Port/Starboard fuel switch switches the fuel gauge between the two tanks. The tanks are separate and don't cross feed unless extensive modification has been done. A little teak oil restores the shine and protects the wood. The best cleaner for the floor inside and in the cockpit...

For launching a TomCat, a steep ramp is best. The hulls sit on top of the fenders rather than between them as with a mono-hull. The trailer has to go in quite deep before the boat will float off. Your trailer fenders will be under water completely. Retrieving is another story altogether! :disgust

Brock! Where have you been? We were just wondering about you at our dinner gathering of C-Brats in Sequim last week. Nov. 2011 was your last post! Hope to see you on here more often than that.

Not that anyone would try this in their C-Dory! http://twistedsifter.com/videos/jet-ski ... ke-powell/

Great! I'll tell them to plan on 15 ! Glad you can come Jake. Looking forward to meeting the kids.

Larry, any chance you can drag that BIL of yours along? How about 416 Rigby?

Having gone to the "Dark Side" RVing vs boating, we have become very aware of tire problems that many have faced. We have been lucky so far with no failures. It is very hard to find trailer tires that are not manufactured in China (China Bombs!). One couple that supplements their full timing...

How about the Prime Rib Dinner at the Oasis in Sequim? $14.95! Friday night would allow working folks like Sleepy-C and C-Renity to attend. We can make reservations if folks would like that venue. Or suggest an alternative. We can pick up boaters at the marina if need be.

Pretty slick but there are much cheaper gadgets out there that do the same thing. Happy Hooker being one of them.

Jim of Wild Blue mentioned the new location of the customs float in this post; http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=21674

I was wondering how you were going to tow two trailers home! Congratulations on the sale. I know exactly how you feel, having been there, done that last year. Hope we can hook up sometime out on the road. We'll be in the Southern Utah National Parks in Sept.

Jake, There's fuel at Deer Harbor and at Roche Harbor.

I'm sure you have comfortable PFD's for the kids. Get a couple if small dip nets and buckets. That will amuse the kids for hours. Jones Island is a great place with trails to hike. Lock up everything on the boat, especially at night, Raccoons will raid your food and ice chest if left out...

I just called their number and the fellow said they were open and had someone on duty there.

I'm looking at my last Fisheries Catalogue right now. It's about 2" thick! I used to pick them up at the store off a big stack. I can't imagine that they no longer print one.

The correct method per the steering supplier, is to turn the engines all the way to port and raise them. This puts them both hard over. Then open the valve. If they are misaligned, you'll hear a clunk as they both drop onto their stops. Close the valve and resume operation. If you have to do...

We contacted Port Alberni Boat House when we spent a month in Barkley sound. We used their launch ramp with us on board and them driving my truck. They then took the truck and rinsed off the trailer and put it in their storage lot. Valet launching! We retrieved the boat by ourselves after...

Even better would be if a Salmon jumped in Jamie's Smoker! Just talking about his fabulous smoked Salmon today as we worked in the garden, land locked! :( Stop at Homfrey Channel Lodge as you transit through. Nice folks and lots to do. Safe travels to all. :hug :hug2
