Our first stop on the Sunshine Coast end of June, will be for fuel in Lund. After that, we'll be looking for C-Dorys while we wait in Squirrel Cove for a good tide at the Yuculta rapids. :smiled

I re-powered the Pocket Yacht, from a 40hp 2 stroke Evinrude to a 50hp 2 stroke Evenrude E-Tec and love it. :love It's quiet, economical and the extra 10hp more than makes up for all of the stuff I carry when fishing. :wink

Your wife's old nylons, or cheap on sale panty hose.:smileo Shake the bait down into the toe and tie it off in a ball, knot, repeat. Then pin in the top of the trap with a large safety pin. :wink

I use the Ladner Traps in my 16' Fisherman,with a simple roller on the gunnel for hand pulling the line. :smile Even though they nest, I've found 3 traps, a couple of buckets and me is all I have room for. :smilep As for loosing prawns out of the bottom...You have to pay attention when you...

Years ago Mr. Walt Woodard who wrote a boating column for the Seattle Times wrote this: "After you think you have decided on a name for your new boat, Go out on a street corner and holler it at the top of your lungs 3 times. If you can do that without feeling like a complete idiot, paint it on...

Hi Harvey, Lauren sold Shawl Bay and the word is, the new owner is going to turn it into a fish camp. We'll miss the pancake breakfasts and they were one of the few places with tannin free water. We haven't been to a Boat Show in years, so l'm glad to hear George has the restaurant barge...

The Broughtons. It's a long trip there, but we love it. We're still looking for that summer heat wave like our first trip there 6 years ago. :smilep We make a point of spending some time at each of the little marinas. Some are a little short on amenities, but the people more than make up for...

Glad I saw this. I sent on my e-mail and received an auto response. We would sure hate to see George have any more problems. :sad Jack & Patty Glory Be / Pocket Yacht

Being the cautious person I am, I think a trip like you are proposing would hold more grief, than adventure. :crook my thought is... :idea How about trailering your boat to Anacortes and go from there? :wink

My 16' Angler has a 6hp Evinrude mounted on the starboard side of the transom which unbalances the boat with one person on board. I think I'll move it to the port side this winter. Also, the boat originally had the manual wipers mounted off to the side of the windshield where they only...

We ran up and down Drury Inlet Pulling our prawn and crabtraps. Also did a little bottom fishing, where it was open. :smiled

Just a general wash down to remove bird poop and kill spiders. :roll: Then I thought, why not replace all of the bulbs with L.E.D.'s? Tried the first two and they wouldn't light....Fuse was blown...Replaced the fuse... Still no light. DUH...Had them in backwards. OK, thinking cap on....Now...

I recently had to replace my old 32 bit Compaq laptop because they no longer make batteries for it. I was forced into buying a 64 bit laptop, Windows 10 system. My greatest fear was my older version of Capn's Voyager and the MS GPS puck that I use for navigation would not work and I would be...

I ended up taking the entire hatch out and letting the deck dry under some plastic, until the plastic quit steaming up. I then resealed the entire area and then pressed the hatch back in place. Not a drop since then. :thup

Sorry to say... Nothing! :embarrased Whole family has a cold and it's too Bloody cold and nasty outside. :sad

Really sorry to see that. Port Harvey has always been our first and last stop when visiting the Broughtons. We will continue to patronize them even if they only have dock space available. Our wishes for a speedy rebuild. Glory Be / Pocket Yacht :thup

Thanks Joe, I'll check it out. :thup The main problem with replacements is the blade connector.:smile They used to give you adapters with the blade kit, but not anymore. :sad

Didn't have to look too many places. It was a bad year (mechanicly) for Glory Be

Don't remember where I got them. And can't find it on computer. Seems like I bought them on e-bay though. For the times I have to use them, I'll stick with hand operated. :wink

I looked around and had to end up buying the whole unit. I think they were $16.00 a piece. :smileo I think finding, or making some kind of an adapter may be one of my winter projects this year. :thup
