If anyone is in the neighborhood, Pingu and crew will be at Deer Harbor from July 2nd until the morning of July 7th.
Remember, according to Pat Anderson 'Pingu' is Aleut for "Beer can boat" so don't look for a C-Dory.
With the 2 little guys, we plan on spending a lot of time at the marina...
Oh what stories I bet Thistle II could tell....
Better to be a well used boat, then an ignored boat. Thistle II looks like she led quite the life in her day.
Hello,
I know this topic was covered by others, but I was sent this information via email from the "Discover Boating" organization and I thought it was worth sharing.

20dauntless,
I had a CD25, but I *believe* that the dinette was similar.
The table is attached to the port wall with a latch and a slide in pin. The one metal latch on in on the underside of the table and latches to a plate on the port wall and there is a pin attached to the underside of the...
Warren,
My current choice would be:
A 40' Eagle Pilothouse Trawler

I just love the lines of this boat. It's low slung and salty looking and appears to be quite economical.
The big PLUS is that it cost only half of your budget so you...
Has anyone gone through Deception Pass at maximum flood or maximum ebb?
I understand that traveling opposite of the ebb or flood would require a lot of power, but what about going with the flow of the water?

Since Pingu's was the 7th Christening in a row...I had too many toasts in me to hear clearly.
I rather enjoyed the translation myself!!

Thank you Barry and Patti for organizing such a great event!
My family had a fantastic time. Dominic and Griffin had an absolute blast and I'm sure the shrimp and spider/decorator crabs are resting well now that they aren't being netted every half an hour by the kids.
Thank you to everyone...
Fishhawk,
You might be interested in reading Dr. Bob's anchor tests, which included the Manson Supreme.

BTW, I have one on my boat, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. :roll:
I'd like to add my recommendation to this thread for Manuel Rojas at the Edmonds marina. He applied 4 coats of epoxy barrier paint and 2 coats of ablative on my CD25 and he did a great job. Also, since I was moored in the Edmonds marina, every time I took my boat out of the water and had it on...
C-Dawg,
Jassmanic stated,
Since you're hooking up to shorepower you could bring a small ceramic heater with a thermostat for the nights and evenings. That's what I plan on doing.
Also, as mentioned before this is more like camping. Don't worry about looking like Thurston Howell III and...
Since this thread started with Ron showing us the kind of boat he'd like to own when he is retired, here is mine: An 40' Eagle Pilothouse Trawler

You lost me on a Ranger Tug doing 18-21 mph...seriously, can it do that speed?
I've looked at Trinity, my old slip mate, and thought how beautiful she was, but I didn't think I could handle the displacement speed with my 2 rugrats before I'd want to throw myself into the frigid water without...
El and Bill,
I would be very interested in your book when it is complete. I've got two little ones, who you've met, that I'd love to introduce to that kind of information. I'm sure I'd learn as well from reading it.
Thanks,
