Thanks Dusty for clearing up that bumper sticker thing for me. Guess I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been. :P You are absolutely correct. After Pam got her jeep stolen last year, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a safe place to park. Consequently, I'm done worrying...

Great Knotty C. Perhaps we should establish an approximate departure time. I'd throw out 10:00 AM. What do you think?

Sounds good to me Colobear. Thanks for the information regarding launch and parking. I haven't spent much time in this area but after a quick look at the chart it appears if the winds are light, running around the south end of Lopez through San Juan Channel could be the way to go. If the...

WOW. Hopefully, I still have a few more wishes left in the bottle.

Mr. Dusty. My chief organizer just asked me the same questions. I'm glad you asked the question before she made me. Can you tell me what kind of arrangements I need to make to park our rig for the weekend at Cornet Bay? You mentioned a bumper sticker in a earlier post. Is their a permit...

The last half dozen posts could be contained in a new topic titled Route Planning with GPS Navigation Software as I'd be interested to hear how others go about this task. I'd agree with Pat that nothing beats understanding our exact location at any point in time in respect to the features...

Works for me BCK. If I remember right, Bill was crystal clear a few months ago, confirming this was a C-Dory site and suggesting the water was plenty warm for anyone interested in creating a new Cape Cruiser site. We shouldn't forget our "guest" status on this site and respect his preference.

If you or Patty are feeling industrious and want to save a few bucks, you can easily make the roll up style of dry bags yourselves. Seattle Fabrics in North Seattle, has all of the materials you need to construct these bags yourselves. Fabric, webbing, clasps and thread along with a common...

You beat me to the punch Bill. The glass is probably 3/8" thick with the bolt holes (Scotty Mounts) very close to each radius of the gunnel providing additional strength. Can't imagine a situation where the gunnel would break before some other part of the downrigger.

I can certainly relate to your nervousness Al. I fussed and fretted (I'm very good at this) about this decision myself three years ago and decided all things considered, that the starboard mounting was best for me which required moving the swim step. Battery placement, water or no water in the...

Personally, and I am being nice here, I'm getting tired of individuals that use this site to complain about their boats or their dealers or the Factory. I question their motives, judgment and ability to look after their own interests. For those of you that have a problem with your boat...

I'd be very interested to know if you figure out a solution to this problem WS as I have a Lowrance X-17 with the same intermittent problem. I have not tried adjusting the transducer. I finally installed a redundant digital sounder mounted in the dash for those occasions when the Lowrance...

Your right on Joe. That is one very cool pic of the Snoopy C and frankly, I'm glad it's not me in the picture. I looked at the picture as you suggested, looking for something to change. Finally, it came to me..... it's the motor isn't it? It should be a Honda! 8)

We'd show up the second or third weekend of May. The hills should still be green with a high probability of warm weather and before the Memorial Day blitzkreig.

Welcome to the pub C-Shark and congratulations on your new boat. Your sure to have fun running around the Sitka area. Lots of relatively protected water for the 16 and a great hatchery fishery right in close to town as I'm sure you are aware. I try to make it up there every June so if I see...

Thanks for the confirmation Joe.

Timely discussion. I have also been thinking about cost effective solutions for occasional AC use by shore power or our Honda generator. I noticed the following site for Lind Equipment was referenced by West Marine www.lindequipment.net/gfcimult.htm. Is this the type of equipment your...

Thanks again for all of your replies. I knew I should have made it to Jerrell Cove for BCK's Electric 1.01 class. I got my DMM on Saturday but other than check out the voltage of my house and a AAA battery I haven't had a chance to start poking at wires in the boat. Read mucho sucky weather...

BCK, They are lots of fun until you let a stray digit get in the way of the handle knobs with a fish running against the drag. And/or, decide to help the drag a bit on a big fish by using the palm of your hand. Only takes a couple of times before you figure out the safest place for your...

Thanks Norm. I checked out Scotty's site and the downrigger draws 8 amps at 203'/min. I'll have to check out that other site you recommended. I'm going to have to get my calculator out but I'm thinking the downriggers don't use up as much power as I thought in relationship to the alternator.
