Lighthouse Express and Sleepy-C at Rest

Barry and Patty, thank you very much for the outstanding gathering! You seem to care and attend to every one who showed up. That tells me something about your personalities. Diane and I had the best time ever on the water since we acquired our C-Dory two years ago. Well worth our time coming up...

Hank, Welcome on board... It's good to see another C-Dory in the neighborhood. I am from Auburn, just a few miles from you. I do come to Marysville during the fall season to go salmon fishing on the Feather River by the rapids with my second boat, a non-C-Dory. Perhaps I will see you on the...

Harvey, Your plan looks good... Just to clarify since we come up from California and we are not familiar with Washington: * We meet on Thursday evening at 4PM at the Black Bear Diner in Sequim. * After dinner, launch the boats at about 6PM at John Wayne Marina and leave the trucks there for...

Harvey, We are easy going, we will accept your recommendation with regards to marinas as long as the marina will accommodate us for the extended storage of our tow vehicles for the duration of the Friday Harbor gathering. Thanks Heinz & Diane

Harvey, I'll give you call on Thursday, May 16th as soon as we arrive at the Sequim Bay State Park. Dinner at the Black Bear sounds great. A couple of questions as we are not familiar with the Sequim area: * Do we have to call ahead and get reservations for the dock space? * Do we leave our...

Ken, you are absolutely correct! Why do red boats travel faster than blue boats? Answer: Red boats and blue boats travel the same speed in a vacuum, however they travel different speeds when traveling through water. In most waters, blue boats have a higher index of friction (usually denoted...

C-Cakes, Changing the MMSI in the IC-M422 should not be a problem as it can be programmed twice. Please see http://www.fairwind.org/boats/HO/IC-M422_manual.pdf page 13. :D Heinz

hambone, I am no expert with mobile radios... However, to the best of my knowledge, the radio can be programmed twice with a MMSI number. After that you will have to go to the dealer for a software rest. ICOM IC-M422 VHF radio manual extract: MMSI code programming The 9-digit MMSI (Maritime...

Harvey, We are all in agreement with you. We also will be on site on Thursday evening. Perhaps we could meet and have dinner together... Heinz & Diane

Still C-razy, You are asking a lot from us video and photography layman's. However, I am certain we are all willing to try a little harder.... For myself, I have to go back now and read my old camera manual for the first time. :D What I really would like to see is a picture of the captain...

Rob, I am glad you are joining us. More is always better... We had not determined the day for leaving yet. However, Friday sounds marvelous to BullFrog and us. We have to await SleepyC's response though since he is our lead person. Heinz & Diane

Rob You are certainly welcome to join us leaving from Sequim. So far it will be SleepyC, BullFrog and the Lighthouse Express. SleepyC recommended the following to us: Be advised, it is best to leave early to avoid the morning winds. (I usually plan on being out of the Sequim bay entrance...

hardee, We are delighted to accept your offer for accompanying us with the crossing of the Strait of Juan. :D There is a chance that one of our friends will also come should they get their brand new Ranger Tug 25 in time from the factory. I'll PM you with our contact information... Heinz & Diane

Thank you very much to all of you for your incredible advice… Let’s face it, there is just no book out there that one could buy to get that kind of valuable information you have been providing me and others with. Your unconditional willingness to give advice to fellow C-Brats is above and...

Well, Sunbeam, you did it… Now I am totally discouraged to take my C-Dory on saltwater. I might as well sell my C-Dory, get some wheels and pick up mountain biking… :smileo However, I may not have to since I am retired and have time to wait for better weather though. After all I am very safety...

Tom, We have change our plans to separate the S.F. to Columbia trip from the Friday Harbor trip as it seem to be to big of a challenge for us at this time to combine both. (the wife got scared) (':embarrased') Heinz
