Jake, There's fuel at Deer Harbor and at Roche Harbor.

I'm sure you have comfortable PFD's for the kids. Get a couple if small dip nets and buckets. That will amuse the kids for hours. Jones Island is a great place with trails to hike. Lock up everything on the boat, especially at night, Raccoons will raid your food and ice chest if left out...

I just called their number and the fellow said they were open and had someone on duty there.

I'm looking at my last Fisheries Catalogue right now. It's about 2" thick! I used to pick them up at the store off a big stack. I can't imagine that they no longer print one.

The correct method per the steering supplier, is to turn the engines all the way to port and raise them. This puts them both hard over. Then open the valve. If they are misaligned, you'll hear a clunk as they both drop onto their stops. Close the valve and resume operation. If you have to do...

We contacted Port Alberni Boat House when we spent a month in Barkley sound. We used their launch ramp with us on board and them driving my truck. They then took the truck and rinsed off the trailer and put it in their storage lot. Valet launching! We retrieved the boat by ourselves after...

Even better would be if a Salmon jumped in Jamie's Smoker! Just talking about his fabulous smoked Salmon today as we worked in the garden, land locked! :( Stop at Homfrey Channel Lodge as you transit through. Nice folks and lots to do. Safe travels to all. :hug :hug2

If it's a vertical windlass, it has most likely gotten water in it past the top seal and the gearbox has frozen up. Replace it with a horizontal windlass and eliminate the problem. You'll need a spacer to complete the change.

You can get both of those fittings at Home Depot along with a couple of feet of 3 strand cable. Make one up in less than an hour.

I too, have found, that if you're going to curse in Church, do it smoothly! :roll:

Guess it wasn't just Tyboo! Naughty Joe...

Agreed, Blakely is a nice stop. But, it is an island of private property and you can't just head down the road for a walk. Signs make it clear that you're to stay on Marina property while you're there. Tyboo did breach the fence once for a photo op!

Bill, Those have always been fun gatherings with weather running the gamut. I think you should put on your organizer hat and go for it. I expect a lot of the Sequimites would help you out. We will be doing the Utah National Parks for all of Sept and on into Oct. Your buddy, Jon Beltrami...

It should be a stellar day for a maiden voyage. Don't forget the Champagne! :thup

Doug & Susan, Welcome! Great to have more Brats in Sunny Sequim. You'll find all the help you need right here in town and on this Site. I hope you start putting some hours on that nice 22 soon! PM me if I can help in any way.

At a Coast Guard class, we met a couple that told us they had just bought their first boat. It was a single engine 40' Trawler with no thruster. They told of trying to dock it at their marina in Vallejo, CA, the windiest spot in the state! After several attempts, the husband turned the helm over...

Amen Harvey! And thanks for your service too. :thup

Larry, It would be kinda like cruising in the Dinghy! Not planning on trying it. No offense to 16 pilots! :lol:

Jake, If you plan on 7 nights or more at State Park docks or mooring balls, the State Park Moorage Pass will save you money. Yours would cost $ 88 at $4/ft. Have fun! :thup

Thanks a lot Marty! And Crabbing opened today in our area. :roll:
