What do youall think of this unit? https://www.renogy.com/3000w-12v-pure-s ... d-display/ There is a 2000w and newer 1000w model as well. It is an inverter/charger combination with an automatic transfer switch. When AC power goes out, it switches to battery inverter quicker than you can...

Right you are. You don't get any more "Old Bay" then Leanordtown, MD, and the international Oyster Shucking Championship. Here on Puget Sound we do have "Oysterfest" in Shelton, which has thousands attending, eating, drinking and cheering their favorite shucker. If you're ever out this way, try...

..never knew a Merelander that could spell (or talk right for that matter) anyway, particularly one from near 'Napliss or Baldemer. I grew up north of there, near Blair (born in Haver de Grass), near the wer so I don't have a problem.

I travelled 2058 miles, round-trip, Anderson island to Bakersfield CA. More than I hoped for, but no big deal in hindsight. I had tried for two years to buy one, and had made an offer on PaulNBriannaLynn's CD-22 as they moved east, but was second-in-line. I was new to the list, and instead of...

Here are the basic regs... https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing Licenses in WA are moderately priced for non-residents vs. residents, and non-residents can get a 1, 2 or 3 day temporary license. https://wdfw.wa.gov/licenses/fishing/types-fees Of special note would be halibut fishing in the Straits (of...

Well, Halibut season has been announced, and the first (May 13) and last (May 16) day allocated for Friday Harbor are 2 of the precious 7 days available for Halibut. This works well for me, as I intend to try Dallas Bank, weather permitting. We'll probably anchor in Sequim Bay May 12 and then...

For Hood Canal, ones I've used, I'm not sure all would be good for C-Dory launch since mostly used for launching kayaks. Twanoh and Fort Flagler are OK for sure...beautiful ramps with a fee for launch and parking. Twanoh State Park (my favorite, though way south on Hood Canal; secure with...

Absolutely correct, Bob. In a "life-or-death" emergency, a Garmin emergency call goes to Garmin first. Garmin requires a subscription, $14.95/month minimum. For a couple hundred dollars, way less than a Garmin 66i, or way more, depending on model, a SARSAT PLB, EPIRB or ELT (aviation)...

Can't comment unless I've used it, and you don't say which it is. REI shows six options with good reviews: https://www.rei.com/search?q=satellite+ ... agesize=90 Some more reviews: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/c ... tor-beacon I have used several in my remote research, starting...

Marcia and I would like to motor up from south Sound if we get our shots by then. Any news on Halibut seasons yet, as we might add a check of Dallas Bank if open. I can't find anything.

Regarding the original post, which was about using a VHS radio kayaking. I am mostly a kayaker/canoer, and previously and currently paddle much more than I motor my C-Dory. Before you invest in or rent (lots of $) a satphone, realize the limitations. There are some, and under less-than-ideal...

12, 13 and 14 if OK for me. I'll personal email you. Rob & Marcia

I've kayaked Florida Everglade's "Wilderness Waterway", Everglades City to Flamingo, many times. Also, Bowron Lakes in BC, Canada, and, of course Puget Sound with about 200 camp sites for kayaks, and Chesapeake Bay with only a few. I like to keep a pace of my own, but get together for lunch, and...

I did not mean my advice was INSTEAD of a survey. A personal precheck of an obviously faulty boat may avoid the time and cost of moving forward with a survey. Good luck.

Corrosion of stainless can be a problem, particularly if you wash and rinse with salt water and can't get things really dry, like after weeks of kayaking in salt water. I've moved to titanium there, but only a Ti spork from REI, and also to reduce weight in backpacking. After going through...

This is my opinion and we might have a boat surveyer chime in. I am not a boat surveyer. There is a lot you can do to check a cored boat without a survey. Based on my dealings with professional surveys of houses, I wouldn't necessarily trust a survey to provide everything I need, and they are...

I think this question would be similar if you are buying a used gas motor, or anything mechanical used for that matter. These things seem very well made, and could last indefinitely, but there have been problems reported, particularly when they first came out, and earlier there were posts about...

Hope you can get one soon, Bob. We'll sequester here on our island until most of the rest of the mainland can get theirs. Not too shabby as long as we can catch squid and flounder...

Chargers. How many amps flows into a charging battery can be a mystery. The charger is part of the process, but only part. The battery must ACCEPT amps from the charger as well. In my measurements, a single FLA never accepted 36 amps at 50% charge or more. I never wanted to damage my FLAs so I...
