Speaking of Catalina, I still think I can make at least a couple days out of the week long cruise event, but almost certainly not the whole week for me. I don't know which days yet. I'll probably check in again as it gets very close. I'd sure like to make the fishing trip. I actually got around...

I've left my 2000 Silverado at Oceanside, Dana Point and San Pedro each a couple times or more. No problems, and I haven't noticed others having problems, but I haven't checked carefully. Oceanside's OK for Avalon, Dana's closer. Dana's OK for Two Harbors. San Pedro's really close. Part of it...

There's some chance I'll volunteer to help with this, but I can't commit just yet. I've got something going on at work, but I should know in a couple weeks. By the way, I finally got around to putting Bossa Nova on the sides of the boat. I'm looking into getting an album set up and posting at...

Let's look at loads in three possible directions. (I'm an engineer, I think like this.) One would be an axial load, in line with the chain length. This would be the tensile load the swivel is rated for and if it's a quality swivel, sized correctly, it should be fine. The second possible...

I've got it penciled in for the week of August 17th unless something weird comes up to keep me away. I'll bet I can make at least part of the week. Jeff

I guess I should have put a little smiley next to my "sky is falling" comment. I see now that if you're planning to cruise the length of the canal, then having some portion of it closed is similar to having the whole canal closed. Anyway, I've learned some more about the canal. I really would...

Your subject heading caught my eye, but it looks like it's a case of Chicken Little saying "the sky is falling". If you look at the link you posted, the text there says "Canal Closure E8 and E9". I looked at their maps and I see E8 and E9 are locks just west of Schenectady. What do you want to...

I made the measurements tonight. I got 18.5" and I'd say I'm within +/- 1/16". I found a height where both engine mounts have symmetrical areas where the engine fits in when in the running position. At least they certainly seem to be symmetrical. I added the distance between these areas, from...

I think I have the setup you want to copy. The VTEC 90 and the 9.9 Hi-Thrust with power tilt. I'll make a note to measure it tonight and forward the information. Mine's on a 2007 22 footer and the installation has worked out well. Clearances are close, but not too bad. I have a quick-release...

I'm planning on joining the group again this year, too. I'd also be interested in towing up to the Ventura area some weekend or slightly extended weekend for a Channel Islands trip if any of you locals up there are looking for another boat to tag along. Keep me in mind and give a little heads...

I have the new (last year) Garmin HD 18" radar on my boat. It seems to work nicely, but it's the only radar I've ever seen or used, so I can't compare. It's fun to run it in good visibility and learn what real objects look like on the display. Some really small stuff, like lobster floats, will...

OK, it sounds like we're picking some dates. I'll be planning on a week for sure, hopefully more. Jeff

Well, I was looking forward to meeting many of you again, and some new people as well, but in comparing vacation time, weather, and some other distractions, I've decided to wimp out on this trip. It's just not adding up for me. See you later. Jeff

Joel, I don't know if you remember from Santa Barbara, but I keep a Hobie Revolution on top of my boat. Same kayak Thataway mentioned. I use Yakima roof bars and towers made for rain gutter mounting and they fit the stainless C-Dory rails great. I'll most likely be at Lake Mohave next week and...
