Hi Jim, I sent my check from my credit union. You should have received it on the 16th. The online site is down right now so I can not look to see if anything went wrong but I will check in the morning. Steve

I do have a tall radar arch. My no problem height for land or water is 12 ft. I am sure that gives me more than a foot of clearance but am not sure about 10.5 ft. I have been very busy but will try to get out and measure soon. Steve

Hi Jim, Please sign us up for this years trip. Steve & Karen

This year I am joining a friend who has chartered a 40ft sailboat out of San Juan Sailing in Bellingham from the 23rd to the 29th. It has been a lot of years since I sold my sailboat and am looking forward to the trip. I hope everyone has a great trip and I will be watching for C-Dorys on the...

I recently purchased the Craftsman cordless impact and it seems to do the job with not problem. A lot quicker than the old 4 way lug wrench.

Wow! So sorry to hear. I know Joe will be right there helping you get well. Karen and I wish you a speedy recovery. Steve

Hi Fred, On that first Desolation Sound trip where I meet you, we stayed at the "Snaw Naw As Campsite" on the way up. I don't remember it being called that then but I do recognize it on Google maps. Just north of Nanaimo We had a nice evening with some locals by their campfire on the beach. But...

Hi Bob, I pulled the rail because like many others, about 70% of the rivets had let loose and the rail had a large gap from the hull. In the places where the rivets go through the gap (as in the pictures) the fiberglass looks almost 1/4 in thick. Now that I understand what I am looking at I am...

Anyone know what sealant the factory used in 2004 time frame? They did not seal the rub rail at all. Only covered the inside with the blob of sealant. Steve

hull deck joint

I just pulled off one side of my rub rail to reattach it. I found a gap of about 1/4 to 3/8 between top and bottom of joint. all of the rivets holes are through this gap. The only fiberglass the rivets go through is the piece that of the "shoe box" joint from the deck that goes inside the hull...

Just another way to deal with the sticking bowl. I drill a small hole through the filter and the black ring and put a screw in the hole. This keeps the black ring from turning while removing the bowl. I do have to use strap wrenches or large pliers to turn the parts.

Hi Pat, Amazing how fast service time comes around when you use the boat every day. Congratulations on everything going well doing the service yourself! After all the post where things have not gone that well you it must feel great. Looks like your next stop may be the Erie canal, exciting...

Very cool to look at AC and see where you are anchored and to look at Google maps to see the pictures. Not the same as being there, but does give an idea of your view. Google also shows all the ferry and tourist boat lines. Looks like a very busy area. The weather also looks very good. Have...

I remember the 2008 trip was fun. We also spent a few nights on Lake Jackson which might be a great place to see the eclipse. It is not too far from the center of the line of totality which goes through the Jackson Hole air port. You might be able to see the shadow coming across the Tetons as it...

That may be it. Maybe the rear bearing was not seated completely. I had pushed the brake piston in all the way and had lots of room on the inner brake pad. It was just the outer pad that was dragging. I did not have a large wrench when tightening the castle nut so I am guessing I might have...
