Tom, do the 2 photos of the Marelon through-hulls have anything to do with the fishbox mods? If not, what are you directing our attention to in those 2 photos? Thanks, Warren

I left some items with him for resale and they got "lost". I might buy stuff from him but probably will not sell through him again. Warren

OK, i finally got it. I thought you were talking about the sponson storage but you are talking about the chain locker forward and the two other compartments flanking it. I agree, a better solution and one I may implement on my TC as well. Warren

Lots of cookbooks out there written mostly for sailors that should give you plenty of ideas. HERE is one that I have. Warren

I am not visualizing this -- can you post photos? Thanks! Warren

I did my first project in my woodshop just before going to the Broughtons -- a shelf for the toaster oven and microwave out of Decraguard and teak trim to cover the ends of the Decraguard and a teak fiddle (I think that is the term) around the top to provide a lip. The fiddle looks pretty good...

We're back from the Broughtons and will be at the Bellingham CBGT! Feels so good to be in the sunshine again... Warren

For your work, aren't you taught to put 3 rapid shots in the center of the body mass? I seem to remember that from something I read. Warren

I bought a Torqueedo and now regret it. Would listen to the voice of experience (the folks I am cruising the Broughtons with now) and would join all of them in buying a 2 hp Honda. May still do so eventually. Warren

This must be a new trend. George Hone, from Nanaimo, is going on hiatus from West Marine and taking off for several months + on a similar trip. Hopefully he will see this and comment... Warren

...can be found HERE. Many of these will already be familiar to you. I don't think I really want to know the total cost of ownership of my boat, though. Do you? :lol: Warren

I've been keeping a blog of this cruise, mostly with automatically-generated SPOT posts, but with some commentary for the benefit of non-boating friends and family. If you are interested, you can check it out at www.c-doryman.blogspot.com Warren

Canada still requires paper charts on boats navigating in its waters. One wonders if this is more to enhance revenue than anything else... Warren

Several years ago, when I had my Hewescraft, I took some family & friends for a vacation on Orcas. It was a private campground but had its own dock and launch ramp. That might be another option. Sorry, I disremember the name of the campground but IIRC it was on the north side of Orcas, more or...

George, the factory used to deliver boats with front window covers but told owners not to use them for trailering as they would scratch the windows. We re-made the fabric into interior front window curtains. Warren

That is what I thought and the photo above is not a 16 but I did not see photos in the Anna Leigh album of the job, just the 16 album. Anyway, it is something I want to do on the 22 eventually, also. Warren

Your topic says "25" but this is about the 16, no? Warren

:thup :thup Warren

The Admiral has tasked me with finding more of the sliding snaps that hold up the curtain across the Tom Cat berth. We have more snaps in the Sunbrella than we have snaps in the track. Any suggestions on where they might be found and what they are called? Thanks, Warren

Bob and other cat fans, here is info on two new open fishing cats. One of them is a 40' with 4 x 300 hp! Click here for Soundings videos. Warren
