Hi, Can't speak from experience (yet), but do the Great Dismal Swamp Canal, going one way at least. Take a look at http://www.cruisingguide.com for gen info, then go to "cruising news from NC" and buy the book"Young's Cruising Guide to Coastal North Carolina" it's got all the things you need...

Hi folks, Have we lost track of the original question? nothing to do with how long the trip takes.

Hi Folks, I'm sorry to post against what a few have said, but I disagree about fuel economy being better above planing speed. The subject has come up before in another forum (or 2), and somebody posted his gage readings within the past week or 2 I think, but I can't find that right now...

Hi Jody, There are several sources for study material, one is The Amateur RAdio Relay League. You can see some of their offerings at http://www.arrl.org/catalog/index.php3?category=Help+for+Beginners Their website has a lot of resources and info, e.g. you can look there to see if there...

Hi Chris, Mark, Marvin, et al, What you guys said is on the target. In life we need to remember the simple rule of this forum, "just be nice", no matter what's happening around or to us. It works just great here. I'm sorry I escalated things with my paintball gun thoughts, but it was in...

Hi folks, We'd been sailing here locally (mostly) for abt 10 yrs, and always wondered why power boats had to come straight at us and maybe miss by 20-30 yds, when the river's 2-3 mi. wide. I always wanted to get a paintball gun and lettem know where they'd been. :evil: Probably some law...

Hi Steve, I'm "visually challenged" this weekend, using the laptop PC. I thought your info showed 2008 CD-25, but if I squint I see it's 2003. I agree, the fwd mtg of the water tank is a good idea, keeping some wt fwd. Our sailboat, and many of them, had it that way, and provided...

hi Steve, I think you're looking at the cabin bilge pump. Look back under the port side cockpit hatch for the freshwater pump.

Hi, I saved me rcpts last yr, thinking I could do it, but NC only allows it, as far as I can see, if you are "commercial" - commercial fisherman, etc, not for general "off road" use, as I thought. I hope somebody can prove me wrong.

Hi Dick, Yes, I have used the Jabsco Marine rated pump, I've posted about it a cupla time, to see some more info, see--- I have posted some info previously about failed FW pumps, maybe have it on my album, but surely do have it on my website which is referenced in my signature. Jabsco makes a...

Hi folks, Yes, many boats use seawater to flush the head, and yes, it does promote odors. Our sailboat had been converted to use fresh water from a separate FW tank and never had the typical head odor. I have posted some info previously about failed FW pumps, maybe have it on my album, but...

Hi Dave, We have the same setup, a 2008 CD-25, one of the first, we took dely in July 07, and I think it's a Delta anchor, can't remember the size. Same problem, but if I bump the windlass "up" it seems to loosen things and the next "down" does the job. I expect you've tried that with no...

Hi Cap, Well, ours is a CD25, but we had a similar problem. 100 gal tank, only took 63 gal brand new from the dealer, full to overflow, and full on the gauge. Ran it to show empty, filled it again, 63 gal. We could never figure it out until the dealer gave me a new sender, an aftermarket...

Hi, Main problem is, it's PVC. There's a great inflatable repair place here on the E-Coast (Charleston, SC I think) that repacks life rafts, etc., and they won't touch a PVC inflatable, only hypalon. The Zodiac repair kit is your best bet probably, their stuff is all PVC now I think. And...

Hi Capn Jim, Tell us, what are you using for bottom paint? That kind of service is pretty rough, in the salt water most of the time, drying out to trailer, bumps & grinds trailering, etc. Different stuff works in different places. Up here, in the brackish water of the upper Neuse year...

Hi Steve, Yes, we agree, very nice idea and job. we saw it this PM b4 all the comments, but had to head out for dinner, so didn't get a chance to send our kudos until now. Ms Pat likes it, it'll be on our project list for Knot Home. thanks,

Capn Bob, That a pretty busy list, is it specific to the recent 25's, or an overall worry?

Hi folks, Well, Knot Home was out of the water for a week at Mobile East Marine, getting the 100 hr service checkup :& a few minor items. We felt "at sea without a boat", particularly when there were a few nice days. Got her back in on Mon., then finally Fri. it warmed up a bit to maybe 70F...

Is there a Cormorant pecking order?
