Hi Brats ! Sadly, Joni and I will not be making it to the gathering this year. We've had a crazy, crazy year thus far and we still don't have the Joni Lynn in the water ! Schedules, activities and weather all seemed to be out of whack this year resulting in making our trip down river to Alton...

Thanks Bill, for your response. I'm quite sure it's no coincidence that when investigating the details of the alert, Avast tries to sell me an upgrade to the service to which I now subscribe. The alert always indicates a threat has been detected, not that I've actually had a file infected. And...

My avast has been giving me the warning "threat has been detected" on the C Brat site for the last 3 weeks and continues including two minutes ago. Will this eventually go away for me also? Thanks Paul

I just purchased my RU 3 from West Marine this past July and it has the good valves as shown on Thataway's picture. For the $$$ I think it's a pretty decent dinghy. Paul aboard the Joni Lynn

I just installed the Gaerlick steps (22 inch) with brackets so they would fit on either side. Thus far they are working out really well. http://www.garelick.com/Alumnium-Cockpit-Steps Paul aboard the Joni Lynn

I have that periodically and figured out that it only happens when the boat has been setting with the hot sun shining directly on the door. Evidently the fiberglass expands just enough to hold the door shut. It doesn't happen enough to cause me much concern so I'm not doing anything about it...

Ahoy mates ! Enjoy your cruise. I spent some time in and around Sioux City and did a lot of sailing on Lewis & Clark Lake. I was back there a few years ago for a family reunion. It's a beautiful area. The Mo. R. is a fun (and crazy) river. I'm sure you'll have a great time, so keep us...

Hey Bill, A single oar or twins ? Paul

What ever happened to the Cruise-N-Carry ? They were goofy little outboards but many sailors around So. Cal. were using them and they were very dependable......and light ! They too would survive a dunken now and then.

Ventura Marina Mobile Home Park Ventura, CA Large boat ramp, secure dry storage, full service boat yard and Ventura West Marina all within 1 block of the entrance to a very nice mobile home park.

I agree with Tex. I don't think you'll find it too difficult to purchase gas along the way. If the river from Omaha to St. Louis is anything like the river above Omaha, every so often you'll find little communities of maybe 10 - 15 summer cabins/mobile homes each having a little fishing dock...

I have been thinking about that trip for years and would love to join you, but it's not going to happen this year. We've too many other things going on this boating season. My plan always was to start just belowe the dam at Yankton, SD. The current runs pretty swiftly there, but it's...

Hi Vince, We too live in Gutenberg and will be hanging around and about our town most of the weekend. We'll be entertaining friends from out of town, but we'll stop by to say hello if we see you in the marina. The Joni Lynn is in the marina south (below) the lock and dam. We'll keep an eye...

Ron & Connie, Thanks for putting together another great C-Brat gathering. The captain & crew (you decide who's who) aboard the Joni Lynn had a fantastic time, and it was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. We appreciate all you did to make this another successful gathering. See you...

We lived aboard a sail boat in Ventura for 4 - 5 years and that was a nightly noise we soon became became very accostomed to hearing. We too called them "pistol shrimp". Paul

Yo, Ron & Connie ! Thank you so very much for (once again) putting together an absolutely wonderful C-Brat gathering. It was a smashing success and quite obvious everyone had a wonderful time. Sorry we had to bug out so early and miss all of the activity on Sunday, but we had animals to feed...

Yo, Ron & Connie ! I plan on bringing a bunch of beer again this year (Yes......Wisconsin brews, of course) and am wondering the best time to drop it off at your house. Will Thursday the 8th work for you? Or would Friday 9th work better? Looking forward to the gathering this year and it'll be...

Hi Ron & Connie ! I read in the paper that Guttenberg is celebrating/dedicating the new municipal marina on the 17th, now that the showers/admin. building/lounge etc. is completed. Wow, they sure did do a nice job on that building ! I plan on driving up to take the grand tour. If you're...

I just renewed my registration for the Joni Lynn. $32.00 for three years. The trailer was $37.50 for one year.

Happy New Year from frigid SW Wisconsin !
