    Drippy Cave Syndrome

    A comment on dehumidifiers in the C-Dory cabin. Here on rainy, misty, Anderson Island, dehumidifiers make life possible ; >) in the winter. I keep a large one in the greenhouse, one in the basement, one in the shop, one in the guest house, one in the C-Dory when on the trailer, and one to move...

    Drippy Cave Syndrome

    This one... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pure-Enrichmen ... 1001389040 It is about 6 in wide, 4 in deep, and 12 in high. I bought it originally to protect some installations of monitoring equipment...run with solar and battery power inside of a sealed box. It worked well, but would only hold about...

    Drippy Cave Syndrome

    Is anyone else using a dehumidifier while underway? Each person in the cabin is continually adding water through perspiration. Any cooking or boiling (I like coffee) also adds water. I find my DC dehumidifier removes about a pint of water a day, sometimes less, sometimes a lot more. A...

    Drippy Cave Syndrome

    Key is understanding the difference between TOTAL and RELATIVE humidity. Total humidity is water dissolved into the air. Relative humidity is what you feel, and related to the ability of water to dissolve into or precipitate, out of the air, onto you, your windows, and your cabin interior. The...

    Transiting BC, WA-AK

    The alternative to the "Race to Alaska" this year is the WA360, which starts and ends in Port Townsend. It should be interesting for us since racers will need to pass close to Anderson Island. Here is the plan, starting June 7, and racers must finish within two weeks. . Start just off the...

    55 lbs trolling motor

    Agreed that having the stronger motor is better, but the boats are very different. Here are published weights. 23 ft Venture = 3020 lbs 22 ft Cruiser = 1925 lbs 16 ft Cruiser = 925 lbs The "air" profile of the 16 is less than the 22 or 23 also. Considering the 54 (56.5 with "lift assist")...

    Multi Connection Battery Terminals

    I have the Honda 90 directly from the starter (lead acid) battery, and the Wallas directly from the house (LiFePO4). Fuses and terminal blocks for everything else. I don't understand why the Wallas is so problematic, but it works that way, and otherwise I sometimes have problems. I have blown...

    55 lbs trolling motor

    This was about the same as my experience with the 55 lb on my CD22. It seemed inadequate, though I didn't measure speed. Given tides that can be 3 or 4 knots, and winds that wanted to spin the CD22 around, I found the 80 lb thrust Minnkota to be much better, particularly when tracking a course...

    55 lbs trolling motor

    I stand corrected. I typed in "Minn kova 80 lb 54 inch Terrova" to search. I guess I confused the ipilot bluetooth with the ipilot link. Yes, I do have an 80 lb 54 inch shaft (nominal) Terrova Riptide (saltwater) with the square ipilot link remote. The physical shaft is actually 56.5 in to...

    55 lbs trolling motor

    James; I have an 80 lb 54 inch Minnkota Terrova with IPilot Link. I'm not sure why you say they aren't available. I see one in the Minnkota store, used, at a good price. Mine definitely has Spot-Lock. It just barely fits on the bow at an angle on my CD22. You can see in the images below. It'll...

    SOLD - 2007, C Dory 25, "Thataway",$70,000

    Heck, if I was in the market, I'd buy it at the advertised price just for the bragging rights about its previous owner!

    vaccination

    Another reason total deaths for Spanish flu and COVID are not comparable directly is demographics. US census data: -------------Age year----<44---44-64---65+ --- population distribution --- --------- percent --------- 1910---81.0---14.6----4.3 2010---50.6---26.4 ---13.0 sorry about the...

    vaccination

    Could anybody that is posting about themselves, their aunts, wives, etc., getting COVID vaccines, please post some other relevant information as well? In Washington, certain folks are eligible and others are not. 65+ and 50+ living in a multi-generational household are eligible. If you lie about...

    Fan install

    Another way to fight PNW foggy cabins. Foggy PNW windows are caused by water in cabin air having higher total humidity than the temperature of air at the windows can hold. Blowing air on them can help temporarily by heating the inside of the windows, but only blows the humidity itself around...
