Here in Hanpstead we got hammered pretty good late FRI afternoon and well into the night. Still 20+ mph winds in gusts. Due to the storm we have some incomplete preparations and stuff to check on. Our plans are to drive up boatless tomorrow for the day. Disappointing, but we we are confident of...

Please count us in: Cassie & Bill Woodhouse, OJOS VERDES 22' Cruiser Forest Sound Marina, Hampstead, NC Wonderful time last year!

Greetings All--Ditto Pandy Girl's sentiments. We had a great time! Very much enjoyed having Dick & Suzanne aboard for the Pokie Run (Suzanne's term--we had to get fuel in Oriental and ran dead last until we cut Half Pint's wake coming out of Turnagain Bay and our Honda90 sank their Merc75)...

Hi Tracy--My regular e-mail is at the moment inoperative, so I will respond here and see what happens. I made a reservation at the marina using the website from this thread and got a prompt response (Cassie is working out-of-town this week but can get on my e-mail there!). We will arrive on...

“Thataway” and I touched on some of these issues in another thread (Kts/MPH) --Bob, I have been doing some research (see my post in What did you do ....?) and I’ll get back to you on the other thread. After 9/11 a large number of coasties at our local station were sent to NY and other venues...

With Son-in-Law Rob competing in the Easton (MD) Plein Air event (outdoor lanscape painting) and Daughter Susan coming also from State College, PA (where they live) for the weekend, which included her birthday on Saturday, Cassie and I decided to trailer OJOS VERDES to the Northern Neck of...

Sorry for the double post. I did not say nor mean to imply that ATON's in Sector NC are not maintained. Our three CG ANT's do a superb job. Not maintained are the CoE St. Mi. markers, many of which are bare pilings now, if that. Those locations are identified on the "small craft" charts, and the...

The observation re the Corps of Engineers is correct. The mile markers were already in place when the Army changed to metric to meet NATO standards. It is also a fact that the Corps of Engineers is not interested in maintaining the ICW in any respect, including the mile markers, which are not...

Here in North Carolina the Marine Fisheries agency is, though the President-Pro-Tem of the State Senate and other powerful legislators, owned and operated by the commercial fishing interests. They are the ones responsible for the status of the flounder, grouper (you name it) stocks. We have just...

Readers of this thread will find of great interest a 30 MAR thread, very rich in info and links, in the General Saltwater Forum at the NC Waterman site <ncwaterman.com> Bill W.

T. N. Simmons' granddaughter was a student of mine at UNC-Wilmington many years ago. Her father had recently died in a boating accident and that was when the elder Mr. Simmons quit making boats. I never met him but remember passing his shop on Myrtle Grove Sound Loop Road. I wish I had gotten up...

I am no fan of the Georgia Bathtub (aka, Carolina Skiff), but if you don't want to spend much money, don't mind getting wet (or cold, seasonally) and are only into fishing, take a look at the review of the 258 by Dean Travis Clark in the June 2006 Sportfishing magazine. He says CS "has refined...

Welcome to C-Brats to Bob from some fellow Tarheels (to the south, in Hampstead)! For our trip to Key Largo last summer, Cassie and I got an Endless Breeze 12v fan <www.fantasticvent.com> from West Marine. It is 14.75"x13.5"x4.25" and, like most of the fish I catch, weighs less than 5lbs. We...

I apologize to CTYankee and to Jeff for seemingly having dropped off the face of the earth! Distractions and preparations for a rabbit-hunting and ice-fishing trip to Maine later this month. As a result of a fishing trip by canoe to Allagash Lake in '05 and also conversations with Rick...

Anyone who still thinks that putting the plug in from the outside is a good idea should read, in the Spring, 2006 issue of NAVIGATOR, the national publication of the CG Auxiliary, the account of a boating accident in which a 24' CC university research vessel filled with water and capsized in...

Try thegpsstore.com. I have good results from them, both re price and service. Bill

I am contemplating a future Moosehead expedition and would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the AUG 06 C-Brat participants. Thanx, Bill

Joe--I appreciate the comment. It is great to have the perspective too of folks that have been around C-Dories for a while! Thanx, Bill

There seems to be some remaining confusion about terminology in the above posts. The light is question is an all-round (360 degree) white light. At anchor (not required in designated anchorages), it is on and the red/green side lights are off. Underway (side lights on), the all-round white light...
