    Well, Rosanne and I headed for the ECON. We made it as far as the Jolly Rancher fish camp by the Hwy 46 bridge. Got under the bridge, but couldn't get any farther due to water levels being too low. We actually made it into the St. John's at the south end of Lake Harney, but propping thru sand...

    Thanks for all that added to my Coloring Book! Also, I uploaded all the photos I took at the gathering (and last night fun with the Manatees at Blue Springs.) to my google drive. You should be able to log on and download any photos you...

    Well, another fine gathering comes to an end. Once again, Tom and Joyce did a great job of pulling this all together. THANKYOU! I think in all we had around 20 boats. Some old faces and some new faces. Everyone that attends, adds icing to the cake at these gatherings. Safe travels to all...

    Windless help for a 22’ Cruiser

    I wouldn't recommend the fisherman model. The difference between it and the regular model, is it allows a free fall. Ie, the regular model, you have to power it out or in. The fisherman model allows you to tap the down switch, and it free falls. It does this with a special clutch mechinism...

    Marina showers are open at Hontoon. However, there is no hot water (as of earlier this afternoon) as they are waiting for a new fuse for the on demand water heater. Not sure about the campground showers. Ranger said they hope to have the hot water going next couple of days. Also, if you are...

    Ideas on where to mount autopilot pump

    I did clear out the foam in that area under the V-berth, and I think I used the cutout under the bunk cushions as the cover. (I placed some small strips of wood around the interior of the cutout for the cover then to rest on.) I cut some holes then in the top of that cabinet next to the helm...

    Ideas on where to mount autopilot pump

    I'm not sure how the 23 is set up, but on my 22, I mounted the pump on the helm bulkhead in the back of the V-Berth starboard storage compartment. On the 25 I put it under the sink, at the bottom of the Head bulkhead. You can find and look at nested albums on autopilot install on both...

    Thanks Mark, That's great to know. Earlier I had planned on taking on water at the park, as it was too damn cold when we left Wisconsin, or during the tow to Gulf Shores to have water on the boat. Fortunately, I was just able to fill the water tank at the person's I'm keeping the boat at, on...

    22 Cruiser for sale

    Two different links discussed. Is it the same boat? The OP link shows almost $42,000 for the boat.

    Dreamboat

    Donald, glad you got into Silver Glen already. You'll find by tomorrow afternoon, and definitely on Saturday, the place will be packed. Get yourself a good spot before everyone shows up. Have you seen any Manatees yet? They will sometimes frequent Silver Glen before the crowds arrive. Glad...

    Want to Buy a Tomcat Location isn't a concern

    There may be one for sale at the Hontoon gathering next week. Although it is one of the earlier model ones. But would be in great shape.

    Wanted: 25 Cruiser

    IOW, it "needs some work". :wink: actually, it may need a lot of work. I know it's the wrong size, and newer, but depending on how much work you want to do and if you are willing to go to a 22, it's probably in the price range...Just passing it along...

    While the Boaters Guide app linked to distances, it provided a lot more, such as marinas and fuel info. :?

    Boaters Guide - App for exploring the Salish Sea

    It appears the Boaters Guide app is no longer active. At least that’s the message I got when I just tried to open it.
