Everyone responding here, please read the first post. SoBelle currently lives in the DC area and is considering a job near SeaTac airport. My assumption is that they will have to physically show up at a job on a daily basis. Yes, Seattle is not what it used to be, and trash, broken-down...

I lived in Seattle for 32 years, moving there from rural Tennessee for a job...I liked Ivar's, the UW, paddling Lake Washington and the Ship Canal, viewing salmon at the "Locks", lots of other animals at the Zoo, the Blue Angels, boat opening day, fireworks on the 4th, Bumpershoot, and biking...

A 2005 Honda BF90 wouldn't be a "D". My 2003 Honda BF90 "A" outputs 20A and charges more like 15A, the Honda BF90D outputs 44A and charges up to 40A.

For most motor makers, usually a 9.9 is a full-sized, lower power version of a 15 to meet restrictions. In fact, a "9.9" cover can be bought for a Honda 15 outboard to fool the water cops. They are exactly the same sizes. There are lakes where you can use a 9.9 and not a 15. The 15 probably...

Carry = perpendicular bars attached to the parallel tubes on the roof. I've put on a show several times with the kayak, particularly at first...It is never easy, particularly if there are any waves. Very "refreshing" in PNW waters. You have to slip into it. I use the ladder and hold onto...

I've used kayaks for years, and they are great, particularly for mucking around when anchored, and sea kayaks can handle some bad conditions. One I've used has been paddled around Vancouver Island....twice!!!!, inside and outside (not me, I inherited it). I now carry a single kevlar kayak (32...

Definitely some are. I wrote letters to my three congressfolks asking them to oppose the tax increase on boats. Reps Leavitt and Bronoske replied quickly, said they opposed the tax, and were working to get the provision removed. Sometimes the response is that they support things, but understand...

Such a list would be great, and might morph into a user-supported app if the right person comes along, as used to be the case with Active Captain. On land, I use apps (Campendium) to find free campsites, and other apps (primarily Alltrails but also others) to find trails and parking for trails...

I would guess that if there is odor when the stove is not running, it is from spilled diesel or a leak and is exacerbated by the higher vapor pressure from Florida heat. I don't get an overpowering aroma here in the cold PNW, but I moved away from diesel to Klean Heat because of the smell. I...

Well, you could be in area 13. No shrimp this year and no crab for the last 3 years, despite an abundance of red rock crabs. WDFW bases the total closure on Dungeness.

I use Klean Heat mostly after having the same problem. Its a lot more expensive but a gallon will usually fuel the Wallas for a good long time. There can be a smell if the combuation wafts back in, but it isn't nearly as unpleasant as diesel. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klean-Strip-Ke ... er/3637782

Part of the problem with WA is they have never used "fair market" value for valuing property. When I look it up, my C-Dory is valued for taxes at about twice its real market value. There is no appeal system of this valuation like with a house. Earlier I had a motorhome that had a "fair market"...

Yes, I did have several work experiences where I took hydroxychloroquine, and another antimalalial, I think primaquine. I never got malaria, which I am thankful for. Based on the things I saw endemic in people I met, particularly children, I became a firm believer in science and the positive...

I guess my attempt at humor didn't work!

I can't comment on it curing COVID that you already have, but I took it as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania, working in Angola for World Vision, and working in the Brazilian Amazon. I don't know if it cures COVID, but it must prevent getting COVID!

FYI, you can download a manual for the one currently used in the C-Dory at: https://www.scanmarineusa.com/wp-conten ... c-2011.pdf

15 amps near the main battery (the one powering the stove). There are also 15 and 5 amp blade fuses attached to the unit. Mine (I have two) are 85/Nordic DT.

You can use aluminum stock, available in different thicknesses and widths, and easily worked with drill, jigsaw (with right blades), and cutoff saw (carbide blades are best). You can try first with the supplied mounting plate, and see if you think the support is enough. If it is, no need to...

...since it is available, definitely get the BP620 backing plate as a minimum, but, in my opinion, it might not distribute forces across enough area that it won't stress things. C-Dories are built lighter than most boats (CD22 is 2000 lb for a 22 ft cabin boat). My father's 18 ft crabbing boat...

Definitely don't use silicone...it is hard to get off. If you drill, gouge (remove some balsa inside), fill with epoxy, and redrill you won't have a path for water to get into your core. I use a Dremmel with a cutter wheel the size of the drilled hole, some people put an allen wrench, which...
