Thanks Bob. I’ll digest that and do some research. My other question is should I buy a VHF with GPS or rely on the GPS in the plotter as I presently do?

I currently have an older Standard Horizon VHF with AIS. Since installing it I have added a new Garmin plotter and Garmin autopilot. I want to upgrade the VHF to one capable of NMEA 2000, AIS, DSC and possibly with GPS. My question is should I stick with a proprietary Garmin for compatibility...

Welcome Phil. We are just up the road from you in Grangeville. Tell us about your Cdory. Between you and another new Cbrat in McCall with Serenity, we could have a Cbrat gathering on Payette Lake. 🙂

Full camper back from King Marine, Seattle

You would enjoy it Colby. Although we have only done SE AK from Prince Rupert to Prince of Wales, I think the logistics once you get to Valdez are probably much easier. Valdez is a full service community with everything within walking distance to the harbor. We have driven the ALCAN many times...

We checked off one of our bucket list adventures this spring with a month and a half on Prince William Sound. The drive from Idaho to Valdez pulling the boat was a leisurely and enjoyable drive with lots of bears, moose, caribou, elk, bison, etc. Valdez is a very welcoming community. Even...

At anchor in Sawmill Bay

It you keep spending large sums of money on the boat Tom, you may be sleeping on it which would deter bear vandalism. However, my guess is that Marina is hooked and supports the boat improvements like Harriet. Not a bad problem to have. 🙂 Ken

Thanks for sharing your adventures Jay. I really appreciate your tips and advice as we prepped for our Prince William Sound trip this spring. Safe travels home. I smoothed out some of the frost heaves for you on my trip earlier. Maybe see you at Bridge Bay on Yellowstone. Headed that way ith...

We use the original Origo alcohol stove that came in our boat and love it. I read that Dometic bought out Origo but don’t know if they sell a new alcohol stove. This last trip we also brought a jet boil for quick coffee in the morning. Ken

I installed the same package as Lil Teal in the starboard Vberth dugout. Only difference is the CCU is mounted under the helm on the Vberth side of the bulkhead. The shadow drive is installed but in hindsight not worth it. I did a lot of comparing notes with Colby doing the install (thanks...

Colby, I ended up parking on the city street parking. The city told me I could do long term parking there. With follow up after I was in AK they informed they no longer accommodated long term parking. A little frustrated so am returning to Prince Rupert from Prince of Wales Is to load boat and...

Just wanted to give anyone considering boating out of Prince Rupert a heads up that there is is no long term parking option there. Per Wagoner’s Cruising Guide, we contacted Coastal Propane several weeks ago and got a confirmed reservation for long term parking for the truck and trailer. Upon...

I have a new Honda 90 XLRT 25” long shaft mounted on Lochsa. Although it was not intentional, I ended up with a long shaft. After talking to some marine fabricators and friend who built his own boat for rough water Alaska use, they pointed out some advantages of the long shaft. I had the...
