Jim, Patty Daydream showed us a high quality set of pots and pans she purchased recently that stow very well. I remember choking a bit when she described the cost. But what the heck, it's for the boat. You might try sending her a personal message if she fails to chirp up.

Very nice of you to share that information and extend the invitation Lightkeeper. While I'm not planning to get futher north than Port McNeil this year I'm sure others will be in contact as we get closer to June. Do they make you wear your PFD when the wind starts blowing? Any time you feel...

Wow! Thanks for the prompt replies. So, I'm not the only person that starts the weekend out by jumping on the site. I'm actually excited about purchasing this meter. I bought a great book the other day called "Managing 12 Volts" by Harold Barre which has helped me at least to pull my head...

I was hoping to generate discussion in respect to how people have connected their downriggers to their boats electrical system including performance issues if any. I've had Scotty downriggers on our boat since new with fused, direct connections to the port and starboard batteries. Everything...

The 30-06 caliber is the only way to go! From varmints to big game. Can't understand why anyone in their right mind would consider any other caliber of rifle! Versatile, efficient and great for docking in tight spaces 8) Tim

Thanks Shawn. This information would have been nice to have while contemplating our trip to Desolation Sound last year. We're running a single 75 hp and I wouldn't expect much deviation. I extrapolated your information to determine your average nautical miles per hour (per annual trip)...

rcwass. Your on the right track. The safety angle works great! It's justified many purchases such as the radar, auto pilot, dual axle trailer with disk brakes, dinghy and windlass. I'm stuggling though to come up with a reason to purchase some canvas. Hypothermia potential during winter...

After thinking about your request, I'm inclined to agree with the first response to your post. Take the boat rides but just as important, find a dealer that will let you spend a significant amount of time hanging out in each boat with your crew. Setting aside important considerations such as...

I'm with you Arimasark. I can think of plenty of slow fishing times when I would accept the inconveniences of dealing with limited room in return for not having to put the rain gear on to stay dry. I noticed one of the Brats posted pictures recently of his downriggers mounted inside the...

I think your wired right. It's a little counter-intuitive but trust your controls. In respect to indicators, I'm doing OK without them and wouldn't spend the bucks to change up. I'll try to describe what I do and maybe it will help you figure out your tabs. Generally speaking, you want...

Nooooooooooo! Mike, thats way to easy. Like the idea of also being able to readily retrieve the plug if it gets away from me.

If you have an outside hose don't forget to drain it. Speaking of outside hoses with holes in it, does any one know where I can get a new coil hose that is fitted with the quick disconnect?

:D

I'm with you Mr. Flagold. From this day on, I choose to ignore this topic as well as any other future topics submtted in this light or by the same individuals regardless of the topic. If we all did the same, these topics won't show up on the front page for long and they will soon tire. Lovin...

I want to thank Mr. Toland for sharing his thoughts and most importantly, creating a boat design that has brought all of us so much enjoyment. Personally, I welcome the Cape Cruiser as it will ultimately benefit the consumer of either manufacturers boat, pre and post boat purchase. In respect...

What a fantastic time. Warm days, cool nights, calm seas, lagoons, passes, rapids, rock islands, exploring, seals, madronas, showers, oysters, cruising at 5 knots, anchoring, dinghies, including our perfectly self-sufficient C-Dory, all led to our best vacation ever. Thanks to all who made...

Don't forget your FRS/GMRS radios. Would be a handy way to communicate in close quarters without plugging up the VHF channels. I'll offer up channel 7-12 just because that's the channel my radios are currently set at and I'm not sure I remember how to change the channel. Tim

How about chewing on this concept fellow C-Brats, submitted only in an attempt to provide some form of device to provide a bit more structure for the get together. It seems to me this is a really big area we are going to and perhaps a plan would be to split up the trip. For example, first...
