You might want to think propane. I have run propane freezers and refrigerators in my boats for over 40yrs. without a problem. Being a heat absorbtion system that operates on "Thermal Dynamics", the main consideration is the orientation of the cooling coils. The unit should be located as close to...

I know, I saw you too late Thomas. :sad I told the Admiral, there goes a heavy duty C-Dory. :smilep Was that you south bound with the inflatable on top and the big O.B. and kicker, on brackets? :smileo Jack... :smiled

Looks like a worthwhile function for those with a dedicated chart plotter. :thup Personally, I prefer the idea of a multifunction unit. Along with my paper charts, I use a 15.5" laptop and a notebook, both with Captn's. That way, I can keep a log, down load the camera, or e-mail ahead for...

Nutty B, :smile I know there is a shelf that goes out from Jones on the West side, but the real sneaker is the unmarked shoal on the East side. It's quite large, but only shows on a real low tide. I dove that spot and the Red Sea Urchins there are huge. :smileo Lots of traps for the unwary...

Dang !!! It's on the Chart !!! :crook Spent several days at the Prevost Hbr. dock, Reid Is. last week and in two days, 3 boats hit the reef at the south western end of the bay, in front of the ranger's house. :embarrased Two power boats and one sailer. The sailboat got off easy, but the...

I don't know if it has changed, but the last time I tried to report a fishing violation in progress on a weekend, the automated message said, " Call back during normal business hours." :sad Jack :smiled

Stay away from Coupeville this time of year. :smileo The Westerlys blow across the island and raise hell with that shallow bay. :sad If you need a stop in that area, use the marina at Oak Harbor. Just mind the channel markers. :crook Jack... :smiled

Heck, just perk it the night before and reheat it. If it was good coffee to begin with, it's good hot, cold, or reheated. :wink Anyone who wont drink reheated coffee is drinking "Bilge" to begin with. :sad Jack... :smiled

Dreamer, You guys try to keep us posted on who's open, or not this summer. We heard Greenway wasn't going to open and a few others were having difficulties of one sort or another. :cry Any word on Kwatsi Bay? We'll be headed thet way after the 4th of July. :wink Jack... :smiled

You sound like a man in need of a project. :wink There are many good suggestions here. Some would keep you busy for quite a while. :crook Have you given any thought to a removable top, or top section? A C-Dory Convertible, now that would be a first. :smileo Jack... :smiled

Pressure washing and moss removal time... :smilep Charge the battery, run the engines in the garbage can, put the props back on and I'm good to go. :wink Jack... :smiled

Darn! :sad My excuse for going to Hawaii will be here in July and the graduation isn't until a year from November, so I guess I'll have to try something else. Everyone has given me enough ideas to work with. :thup Jack... :smiled

Forgot and left a metal tool box sitting on a V-berth cushion. Now the cushion has a large rust stain and I'm in trouble. :cry Anyone found anything that will successfully remove rust stains? Jack... :sad

Yeah, Seabeagle X2 :thup I didn't even resume taking my shotgun after they changed their minds and decided it was OK, for $50.00 :sad What really jerked me off was when 5 of them decided to turn my boat into a training exercise last year because I was wearing my NRA hat. :disgust If it had...
