    vaccination

    Could anybody that is posting about themselves, their aunts, wives, etc., getting COVID vaccines, please post some other relevant information as well? In Washington, certain folks are eligible and others are not. 65+ and 50+ living in a multi-generational household are eligible. If you lie about...

    Fan install

    Another way to fight PNW foggy cabins. Foggy PNW windows are caused by water in cabin air having higher total humidity than the temperature of air at the windows can hold. Blowing air on them can help temporarily by heating the inside of the windows, but only blows the humidity itself around...

    120v Inverter/Shore Power switch or relay?

    What do youall think of this unit? https://www.renogy.com/3000w-12v-pure-s ... d-display/ There is a 2000w and newer 1000w model as well. It is an inverter/charger combination with an automatic transfer switch. When AC power goes out, it switches to battery inverter quicker than you can...

    Your choice of boat?

    Right you are. You don't get any more "Old Bay" then Leanordtown, MD, and the international Oyster Shucking Championship. Here on Puget Sound we do have "Oysterfest" in Shelton, which has thousands attending, eating, drinking and cheering their favorite shucker. If you're ever out this way, try...

    Your choice of boat?

    ..never knew a Merelander that could spell (or talk right for that matter) anyway, particularly one from near 'Napliss or Baldemer. I grew up north of there, near Blair (born in Haver de Grass), near the wer so I don't have a problem.

    How Far Did You Travel To Buy Your C-Dory?

    I travelled 2058 miles, round-trip, Anderson island to Bakersfield CA. More than I hoped for, but no big deal in hindsight. I had tried for two years to buy one, and had made an offer on PaulNBriannaLynn's CD-22 as they moved east, but was second-in-line. I was new to the list, and instead of...

    05/13 - 05/16 - Friday Harbor CBGT 2021

    Here are the basic regs... https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing Licenses in WA are moderately priced for non-residents vs. residents, and non-residents can get a 1, 2 or 3 day temporary license. https://wdfw.wa.gov/licenses/fishing/types-fees Of special note would be halibut fishing in the Straits (of...

    05/13 - 05/16 - Friday Harbor CBGT 2021

    Well, Halibut season has been announced, and the first (May 13) and last (May 16) day allocated for Friday Harbor are 2 of the precious 7 days available for Halibut. This works well for me, as I intend to try Dallas Bank, weather permitting. We'll probably anchor in Sequim Bay May 12 and then...

    05/13 - 05/16 - Friday Harbor CBGT 2021

    For Hood Canal, ones I've used, I'm not sure all would be good for C-Dory launch since mostly used for launching kayaks. Twanoh and Fort Flagler are OK for sure...beautiful ramps with a fee for launch and parking. Twanoh State Park (my favorite, though way south on Hood Canal; secure with...

    Effectiveness of handheld VHF when in dinghy or kayak

    Absolutely correct, Bob. In a "life-or-death" emergency, a Garmin emergency call goes to Garmin first. Garmin requires a subscription, $14.95/month minimum. For a couple hundred dollars, way less than a Garmin 66i, or way more, depending on model, a SARSAT PLB, EPIRB or ELT (aviation)...

    Effectiveness of handheld VHF when in dinghy or kayak

    Can't comment unless I've used it, and you don't say which it is. REI shows six options with good reviews: https://www.rei.com/search?q=satellite+ ... agesize=90 Some more reviews: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/c ... tor-beacon I have used several in my remote research, starting...

    Marcia and I would like to motor up from south Sound if we get our shots by then. Any news on Halibut seasons yet, as we might add a check of Dallas Bank if open. I can't find anything.

    Effectiveness of handheld VHF when in dinghy or kayak

    Regarding the original post, which was about using a VHS radio kayaking. I am mostly a kayaker/canoer, and previously and currently paddle much more than I motor my C-Dory. Before you invest in or rent (lots of $) a satphone, realize the limitations. There are some, and under less-than-ideal...

    Effectiveness of handheld VHF when in dinghy or kayak

    I've kayaked Florida Everglade's "Wilderness Waterway", Everglades City to Flamingo, many times. Also, Bowron Lakes in BC, Canada, and, of course Puget Sound with about 200 camp sites for kayaks, and Chesapeake Bay with only a few. I like to keep a pace of my own, but get together for lunch, and...

    Need help with prospective purchase

    I did not mean my advice was INSTEAD of a survey. A personal precheck of an obviously faulty boat may avoid the time and cost of moving forward with a survey. Good luck.
