    Instant Pot

    I’m talking about the cooking appliance called Instant Pot just thought I would mention that before this post goes sideways. I was wondering if anyone uses one and what size you use and how it is working on the boat. We sure enjoy ours in the home kitchen. Happy Holidays Dave & Ruth Raven Dancer.

    I hate it when the turd factory breaks ! I think it’s a good reason to head to Cathlamet and spend the night there. Way better marina anyway unless you’re a fan of freeway and train noise all night. Anyway guys wash your hands well 💩💩 Dave Raven Dancer

    So sorry I won't be able to join the group and finish the trip with you all. I have injured my back. I will see how things go and maybe but doubtful I will meet you in Kalama. Thanks for doing such a great job of posting the trip I have been following you in spirit. Be safe. Big Dave Raven Dancer

    10/15 - 10/29 - 2017 Snake/Columbia River C-Dory Cruise

    Might want to check with Tyboo and make sure there is a boat launch at the boat basin in Astoria, I don't recall one. There is a very nice one with lots of parking a little ways downriver in a town called Hammond. There is another nice ramp with parking up river around tongue point and up the...

    Dave on Raven Dancer here; I have been following this thread with a great amount of interest, and even though I can not do the entire cruise there is a very good chance I could join the group at the Vancouver boat launch which is approx. half a mile up stream of the I-5 bridge. It seems like a...

    SleepyC on Vancouver Island 2016

    About 8 years ago I had bottom paint professionally applied. I think it was around $1200 dollars at the time. It really helped with the clean up, and if I could find something to apply to the transducer and lower unit of the motor my clean up problems would be over. I do spend a bit of time...

    SleepyC on Vancouver Island 2016

    Harvey I will check with Billy and see if you could use his boat ways for a half day or so for a hull scrub. Also there is a very sandy beach in the Byrdwoods that you could use on a falling tide. I could show right where it is. Also the head of the Bay in Echo Bay is a good place to beach. Hope...

    What Effect Does Bottom Painting Have on Resale Value?

    Hi Harvey; Dave on Raven Dancer here. As you know I was in the same waters you were in for almost 80 days. Raven Dancer has had her bottom painted for about 8 years now, the contractor did an excellent job. I do touch up paint once a year but not a whole lot. I don't know about the resale...

    SleepyC on Vancouver Island 2016

    It was great to see you in Echo Bay not once but twice. There were quite a number of 22' C-dorys that came in during the summer. Ruth & I just got home yesterday, things got real quite after Labor Day. You are quite the inspiration and should write a book on small boat travel . Your friends...
