Great job on the calendar Greg. Good size, excellent quality and well packaged for shipment.

My wife and I binge watched it all last night. Nice job on the video Floyd. You guys sure put on the miles.

I hear you Foggy, but I have little choice. I have trees everywhere. Shrink wrapping is convenient and does an excellent job keeping the boat clean. The wrapper will come and wrap the boat at your location, which in my case is my driveway. $260 this year for the CD22.

Parked in front yard. Should be fun trying to get it out of there with my two wheel drive pick up come Feb/Mar with snow and ice all around. Personally, I like Brent and Dixie's setup. Sweet.

Here's a tentative. Having just been pushed into the no longer employed crowd, Wendy and I are thinking we can make this. However, there are a couple challenges: a) we are in Michigan, the land of lovely winters; and b) the boat is shrink wrapped, and put away for the winter. Provided we can...

Well, that didn't go as planned. The first mate had a long developing medical issue come to peak early July which resulted in no boating all summer. Until finally, we thought we were good to go and set out for our canal trip September 12. We launched at Anchor Marine on Grand Island on the...

On my 22, a 9.8 short shaft 4 stroke fits the transom and easily clears the Bennett trim tab while it sits close to vertical. However, its depth is short of the bottom of the boat, so suffers a bit when rocking and rolling. I tried a short shaft 6hp 4 stroke. It was too snug a fit on the...

I pm'd Mark and he's provided a lot of info that's appropriate for where we'll likely end up. Thank you Mark. Meanwhile, looking around, I see the Chesapeake will be only 4.5 to 5 hours away. Wow, does that present some nice new cruising territory. Looks like a gunkholers delight. I'll have...

I'm looking for help regarding the Pittsburgh area. How is the boating? Where to keep boat? Where to launch boat? We anticipate relocating to the greater Pittsburgh PA next year. We currently live in SE Michigan and keep our CD22 on the trailer in our front yard, trailering to our various...

For those worrying about doing this splice themselves, I don't think you need to sweat it. I just did it and I found it was fun and easy. I recommend watching the video on the Yale website. I color coded the tips of each pair and the crowns up the line with highlighter, making it easy to do...

1/2" Yale 8 plait to chain splice

Pyrotechnic materials degrade over time, especially in high heat and humidity environments. Ignitability, flame temp, burn rate, and heat output, all suffer declines over time. There is a damn good reason there is an expiration date. Flares are safety devices, relied on to function to their...

1st: VHF w/DSC. If something happens to you and you are incapacitated, does your crew know how to operate the boat and get you to help and/or safety? It gives me great peace of mind knowing that when I stroke out or fall overboard, my wife merely needs to lift that little lid, push the red...

Kestrel Dawn gets my vote. Great name. I'm sure she is a lovely lady and deserving of the recognition, but Rob is right regarding Inez Linnea. I'm sure few will know what you're saying over the radio, let alone in person. Unless that doesn't matter, then go for it. Does grandma have a...

Me also. What was wrong?

I may be mistaken, but I think Navionics+ is for chartplotters. I suspect it is functionally and informationally the same as the app. At least it looks like it is.

I use Navionics "Boating US & Canada" on my Android phones and tablet. Bought it years ago and I see it's still $15. No-cost updates. Works great. Would definitely buy again. Check out the Navionics webbapp to make sure your lakes are covered. Same image and resolution as on my...
