My guess is that it would have run forever but: It only had a rectifier to generate electricity which was barely enough juice to keep a smallish starting battery charged. You had to be careful even running an anchor light. It used virtually the same fuel at slow speed (6 knots) as running at...

We will make every effort - sounds like fun. The crowds at Friday Harbor sure were. Thanks for the information - I will be checking it out. Thanks again John Coppedge The Mighty Wench Cleveland, OH

We have gone to two C-Brat gatherings in Friday Harbor - the problem being we have a Rosborough. Would we be welcome to this one? Have been to the Keys a number of times, but never this far north on the water. Is there much to do or see in this area? Thanks, John Coppedge The Mighty Wench...

We went through the same issue. With a few exceptions, rates are in the $200 to $400/mo range. The only exceptions I found were in Pt Robert, Olympia, Anacortes, and, of course, Bellingham. I am still not sure how much they will be since some of them may treat the truck and trailer as two...

Top speed is about 18 knots, last time I checked, but we generally run it at 5 or 6. John

Chevy 1500 stated below is really GMC Silverado 1500 - bought new Aug 2013 - sorry if misled

We have an older Rossy which is, I believe, a lot heavier than a Brat. I have no idea how heavy it is (ignorance is bliss) but the trailer is rated for what I thought was a lot less than the boat weight (we have a single 130 hp motor). My wild ass guess is that it weighs close to 10,000 lb...

Gene/tight lines We, too (newbies John and Susan on Rossi 24) will be traveling back down from Alaska - if we make it that far north. Will watch for you en route (both ways?) Pat - our plans are too weather-dependent to commit for now. We theoretically won't be returning to Bellingham until...

Martin - thanks for that info as you never know about plans... We still plan to hit Louisa Falls early, but might enjoy a repeat. OR - we might even be so sick of each other after 4 months in cramped space that by August that we'll return a month early - and hit the gathering in Bellingham...

George (ghone, kerri on) - I see you are from Nanaimo. Hope to meet you at the gathering and get your personal take about Nanaimo and that area. We plan to meet up with buddy I met via internet years ago who lives on Denman Island - it may be on our way home, or just shortly AFTER we cross to...

I'm hoping I am correctly posting to the Friday Harbor gathering post as I'm new to this site and unfamiliar. Apologies if not the right spot. Hello, all! Braun, we are new to both the area - and to this group - lots of activity and a ton of people going who all know one another so I...

Foreigner (Rossborough 246) We are planning to cruise from somewhere in WA in early-mid May and cruising the area towards AK for 5 or 6 months. We are tentatively planning to launch in Ancortes, but we will know better after some phone research for reasonable storage fee confirmation...
