We have a nice size group planning to go to Princess Louisa Inlet with room for more. Final plans will be made at the Friday Harbor gathering prior to the potluck on Saturday. At that time, I see us breaking into smaller planning groups for those who have a different idea on travel speed...

The cockpit floor area is pretty tight and a premium on a 22 Cruiser or 23 Cape Cruiser/Venture. A hard-shelled head in the cockpit would be interesting to see. Good question!

We use this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AT3T0GC?ta ... e=osi&th=1 when taking showers in the cockpit. It could be used as a "Private Potty Room" with the use of a porta-potti. It is not a "build in" unit but will easily and with-in seconds fold up or down. Stores in a small space. I would not...

Important Friday Harbor Event Reservation Information PLEASE READ ALL THIS POST BEFORE MAKING YOUR RESERVATION Just got off the phone with Jerod at the Port of Friday Harbor. The on-line reservation system is now open for us! For the general public, slip reservations start May 15. Friday...

Ken, Again, Congratulations to both you and Stacie. Ken brought this boat to my attention when he found it on Craigslist before he bought it. What a find Ken! This boat looks like a new boat and the owner even put new tires on the trailer before Ken bought it. Can't wait to see it in person and...

Good news Jay! I revised the list. It is not in any particular order. Colleen is better than I am at that. Dave & Dori on Sea Witch - interested Jay on Hunkydory - planning on it Rick & Kerry on Tomcat - planning on it Karl & Tango on Nowhere Fast - planning on it Dennis & David on My Iggy -...

PM sent with code. Good news on Jolee and glad to hear that now very likely, both of you will continue on from FH and attend PLI. Gary

Ha Ha. Thanks Colby. I can always count on you to keep me straight! I am not too good at counting and if the numbers get too high, I will have to take off my shoes. I forgot you and Colleen and myself. Hopefully, Rosanne can make the trip. OK, it is 10. :)

Dennis and David, so glad that you plan to join us in travel to Princess Louisa Inlet. Thanks for letting us know. If I have missed anyone interested in this trip, please forgive me and speak up now. So far we have 9 boats with interest or 'count me in' for going to PLI/Chatterbox Falls after...

My wife and I enjoy the freedom and benefits of a trailerable boat. I can see myself and Colleen not being able to launch and retrieve a boat one day. If and when that day comes, I do see us keeping a boat full time in a slip. It would most likely be a much larger boat and with more complicated...

Good question and thoughts to consider for the future. I am 67 years of age and will give up on a trailerable boat when I am not physically or safely able to launch or retrieve solo.

We are about 2 weeks away from being able to make a specific slip reservation for our annual C-Brats Friday Harbor Get-Together in May. Mark your calendar for February 15, as this is the date that you may go to the Port of Friday Harbor website to reserve your slip for the event. Like last year...

Salty Biscuit picked one up a couple of months ago. Send him a PM and he may have this information for you. http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=32501

As a reminder, we will be having another book exchange on the party barge at 2 pm on Saturday. Consider setting aside those boating books that you have read or are currently reading to be given and shared with others. Last year we had a full table of books that were donated for other C-Brats to...

A few weeks ago, I received a PM with two questions about the Auxiliary Coast Guard vessel inspection. The first was about weather it is a good idea to have the inspection done on your vessel every year. My answer was, "yes." Not only will you get a compliance sticker for the year of the...

I have always wanted to attend the annual Delta and Bay Extravaganza. Time wise, it just hasn't worked out for us with it being so close to the Friday Harbor event. I have great memories of living, fishing, and exploring the waters of the Delta and Bay Area.This event looks to be another great...

Hi Colby, I already had you on the list for wanting the Auxiliary Coast Guard Vessel Inspection. Glad that it is important enough for you to ask. When the event starts, for those who change their minds, they can be added or subtracted from the list right up to the start of the Saturday morning...

For those interested in having the Auxiliary Coast Guard vessel inspection on Saturday, I have posted a link showing the form that will be used. Even if you are not having the inspection, it is still a good idea to look over these listed items. Keep in mind that the fire extinguisher must not be...

Karl, I hope that you are able to clear your schedule to attend the Friday Harbor event in May. The link below is from a 2019 photo with you and Tango preparing to venture out in Shallow Bay at Sucia Island. We are looking forward to seeing Tango again and you too! Gary and Colleen...

We chose Nexus because you do not need to tie up to the dock and use the phone on the wall to check in. There are also many more locations where check in is allowed. You give your estimated time of arrival, purpose of the trip, and length of stay. You need to arrive at the reporting station...
