Roger, Oh man, if I didn't feel bad enough... Seriously, PM me and let me know what I owe. I am very sorry.

I really feel awful about saying that we aren't going to be able to attend the Sequim CBGT, but I feel awful...literally. I've caught something and can't see myself making everyone else sick (that's the altruistic side) or boating for 2+ hours to get there (that's the selfish side). Have fun...

Matt, Congratulations! The fact that your wife allowed you to take a wedding photo with her and your boat tells me that your marriage is already on the right track. :thup

I found this article in the Seattle Times today (August 20, 2009). I added the emphasis. -Sarge ___________________________ Canadian men accused of trying to smuggle pot aboard boat Two Canadian men are in federal custody after border agents seized their boat off San Juan Island Tuesday and...

I've gone through Cattle Pass the last 5 or 6 times I've been to the San Juans, but I learned something new this summer and it didn't come from crossing the water, it came from observing the pass from Shark Reef on Lopez Island. A large percentage of people enter the pass from Rosario Strait...

I forgot where I got this, but I found it important enough that I copied and pasted it into an email that I sent myself. -Sarge ______________________________________________________ Customs Information Documentation needed for yourself and your crew: As of 2008 each person onboard...

Roger, I don't know about the fishing, but your photos...they are great! Not to sidetrack your thread, but what camera did you use? Settings? Lens? I guess now would be a good time to state the obvioius: Hope you had fun.

Roger, Thanks for sharing such a special event in your life with us. Your pride shows. I'm amazed at the rate different people mature. My sister got married at 19 and is still married to the same man. I got married at 34 for the first and hopefully only time. My sister had a child after 2...

I have to admit that this is one of the oddest CBGT message threads I've ever read. People trying to sell boats and wondering how to anchor their boat from 2000 miles away...oh well. Roger and/or Harvey, We signed up for the CBGT, but we can't leave Edmonds until around 4 pm on Friday. I...

I have twins and one piece of advice I was given regarding rotating the boat on its axis that I found very helpful (and obvious in hindsight, but yours truly didn't figure it out) was that you need to keep the motors straight when applying forward and reverse thrust simultaneously. If you turn...

Dr John, I too have a Cobb grill and I do love how it works. The downside for me is the time it takes for the coals to burn out. Have you found a way to get them to stop burning when you're done cooking your meal? I cooked sausages one time, and then had to wait a seemingly very long time...

Bill, Check out this message thread for some ideas on tracking down the leak and possible areas to check: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... hower+leak Good luck,

Warren, We've found that the Kuuma is excellent at holding a flame in the wind and being able to adjust heat levels. It is an excellent barbecue! It just wasn't designed to be both a barbecue and a stove surface. No, we didn't have to fabricate a custom mount, there are rail mounts...

Hello, I searched long and hard to find what kind of portable stoves C-Brats use on their boats. Yes, there is some information already on the site, but it is scattered around in a hundred email threads. I hope with this email thread we can 'organize' it a little better for future reference...

My advice is simple...get radar! I happen to have a Garmin 4208 with a Garmin radar and I'm very happy with it. My previous boat had a Raymarine radar and I was quite happy with it. Fog can sneak up on you and having radar is very comforting. It's not foolproof and you need to use it...

I use a desiccant de-humidifier, much like this one: http://www.discountmarinesupplies.com/W ... NTROL.html The only issue is that you can't leave it and forget it, you need to access it, drain the water and add more of the desiccant on a regular basis. I don't have access to electricity...

Let me start by saying that I agree...this case just smells funny. Parts don't add up and Dr. Bob is spot on, an outside agency should have investigated the incident simply to avoid the hint of a cover-up. That being said, let's not fool ourselves in thinking that Boat U.S. is simply reporting...

Poor Pingu is a little worse for wear after clearing customs in Friday Harbor. The Customs dock at Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, WA, has a long rubber fender running the length of the dock. This fender is held in place with metal rings and brackets that sit on the top of the dock. It looks...

What a great CBGT! It was our first time to boat into Canada and the Nanaimo CBGT was a great introduction. My family had a blast with the "fishing" off of the pier, Newcastle Island trip, walking around town and of course the C-Brats hospitality. George and Brenda, my sincerest thanks for...

Tom, We're spending the night at Poet's Cove, so if you have a second after clearing customs look for Pingu! We're heading up to Poet's Cove early Thursday morning and then leaving for Nanaimo early Friday morning. If you don't have the time, I understand. We'll see you in Nanaimo!
