We just use a small plastic tub that fits in the sink to catch any gray water. Another place to consider are Casino parking lots. Even ones that have a real RV park may let you spend the night free in a lightly used area of their parking lot. We have stopped several times at 7 Feathers...

Hi Bruce, I have a similar unit but 2004 St9001. I have the same problem with the linear transducer.There is an after market transducer that is less money. Don't remember the name right now. My fluxgate is in the same place as yours but I keep my pans and other metal things out of that area. I...

Here is a link to recent quake in Queen Charllote Island area. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/arti ... hern-coast Steve

I attended a slide show by a guy who sailed around the world in a 12 ft aluminium boat he built himself. It does take a special person for those kind of trips. After the slide show I asked him if he took any music or books on the long crossings. He told me he did not and just basically looked...

Welcome to the club Jim. I have had three tires come apart with a lot less miles driven. One tire took my fender completely off the trailer and over a guard rail never to be seen again. Never had the steel belts wrap around the axle. Sounds like the you received good service - it is nice...

Hi George, I don't recall seeing any posts about insulating your whole boat. What did you use for that? Steve

Hi ken, I replaced mine with a stainless grab bar/towel bar for a bathroom I found at a garage sale still in the package. Has been a few years so don't remember the name but you might look at Home Depot. It is a strait bar (1in diameter) that has a stainless square bracket with round hole to...

Thanks for the replys. Art, I think I will try your method for a while before spending the $250 on a SmartStick. Steve

New auto pilot question. I have a 2005 C80 Raymarine system with the ST6001 auto pilot that has the gyro. This system uses a large Linear Rudder Position Transducer (basically a large pot) that is attached to the steering cylinder. On my last trip I started getting errors of lost rudder...

I like oats and occasionally sardines but I have never heard of mixing them. Do you make the oats with hot water before adding the sardines? I might have to try this. Good thing it is not too expensive, because if I don't like it I don't think the cat will eat it.

Hi Jim, The last time we rode the Hippie bus the driver had to stop and put two quarts of oil in the motor before we could get to the pub - wonder if they have fixed that leak yet (well it has only been 5 years). I know there has got to be a good reply to your shid-head post. I just could...

Blind bay is a great place to anchor. We were in there a couple of times on our 2009 trip - brings back a memory: After anchoring one afternoon and starting dinner a sailboat came in and anchored about 50 to 60 yards away. While eating dinner we were treated to a show of them taking a bucket...

Glad you had a great trip! Will you be posting any pictures or more details? Steve

Hi Jim, Sounds like you have finished your gig and are now ready for some cruising. This is probably the best part of the season. Hope you have a great time. It was good to see you when we were in FH. Nice picture - could that be Parks Bay? Steve

Hi Don, Just head out of the marina and take a right, under the Richmond bridge and follow the channel across San Pablo bay to the Carquinez (I80) bridge. You are probably familiar with the bay conditions but you do want to be aware of the conditions for San Pablo bay. Ideal is light...

Hi Harvey, I had a similar experience in the SF Bay. Glass calm, did not see the wave or hole until almost on top of it. Mine was only about 2 ft deep and not breaking on following wave, no second set. I also had no idea who or how it was made. Flat calm is when you least expect these things...

I forgot to mention that there is a phone number where you can buy a Utah license. They will let you fish before you receive a license if you have the number they give you to show you have paid for it. The rangers told us about it and that is what we did. Steve

I was at lake Powell in May and stopped in at Styx and bought a license. I asked if the license was good for all of the lake and was told it was. First day fishing we were stopped by UT rangers. I thought I was good to go but they told us we only had a AZ license. I know, I should have done...

we have decided to take a more leisurely a trip so will not be making it to Comox. Hate to miss seeing everyone but we are enjoying seeing a lot of our favorite places.Have a great time. Uh Steve & Karen

That is a good one! Using the internet to find something you have but did not know you had. Amazing. Steve
