when I read the thread I hoped I would never be a part of it.........no such luck. Here is the report back from the shop- REMOVED THE ENGINE PORT SIDE COVER AND INSPECTED. FOUND THAT THE OIL PAN IS CORRODED THROUGH ALLOWING EXHAUST TO ENTER THE ENGINE COVER WHICH IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO...

Any suggestions for a good pop up blocker? I've tried "Adblocker" but that doesn't seem to work. I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox. Thanks

Has anyone made a trip to Point Roberts lately? We intend on spending a night there. Any recommendations? Thanks

What is the stretch of water like between the top of Vancouver Island to the entrance to the inlet that leads to Bella Coola. It looks like there are two routes to Bella Coola. Is one better than the other or in one way and out the other? thanks

Has anyone tried or heard anything about "Spot Satellite GPS Messenger"? http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=102 Any other better ones that someone knows about?

Thanks for all the good info. I'm assuming you wouldn't need to jailbreak to load the Navionics program right? Is that program available at the App store or how do you load it? This I Pad is great so far........just need to learn how to use it. Thanks

We're in the San Juans online trying to get the I Pad2 to be a hot spot for our Mac Book Pro. The internet says to use MyWi 4.0 but you have to jailbreak. What is jailbreak? Is it legal? Will it void our I Pad warrantee? Help Thanks

I know this is kind of out of left field but we belong to an association in the San Juans where only golf carts are allowed. We are planning to purchase one and thought maybe with the groups vast experience in many things I get some answers to some questions. The EZGO seems to be the most...

Since I read this post a while ago my wife and I have been checking out the difference between the IPad 1 and IPad 2.......and this morning, the quality of coverage between AT&T and Verizon in the San Juans. The consensus on the internet seems to be that there is that the changes made to the...

Lopez Island has three marinas, two at Fisherman's Bay and one at Shoal Bay....Spencer's Landing Marina. I've also seen boats moored at MacKaye Harbor. Gene

Nice modification. Its one I would like to do before we start cruising this year. Questions......what does your passenger (wife) hang onto when the seas get rough? How do you think it would have worked out if you had left the center portion of the "dash board" in place instead of taking it out...

Jim- you mention your Droid app for finding less expensive gasoline. That sounds like the difference between say Arco gas and Chevron gas. What does everyone think about differences in quality of gas. I've heard stories about Arco gas being of less quality than say Chevron or Shell gas...

I have one free pass for two with parking for the Opening Night Celebration on Friday, 1/21/11. If anyone wants it, PM me and I will mail it to you. Gene

I tried to send a PM an hour or so ago and it is still in my Outbox and has not moved to the Sentbox. What am I doing wrong?

Todd- We have been paying $245/month for the past few years. Is your rate a monthly rate or yearly rate? We kept our last boat at Skyline (about 6 years ago) and, other than the location, we were really disappointed in the service and amenities. We did explore keeping our C Dory there but...

I agree with Herb. We have had our boat there since it was new. My only complaint is that they have ethanol in their fuel but I get my fuel at Cap Sante so its really not a problem. Gene

I was looking at the line drawings of the Marinaut 215 and noticed their sleeping arrangement. They extend the port side berth past the V-berth into where the passenger seat is while cruising. I have read about some C-Brats cutting out the bulkhead between the passenger seat and V-berth on...

Thanks for the information so far....... Another newby question..... Jim, you mentioned that the Droid X has a built in GPS chip. Does that mean that even if I have no (or poor) Verizon signal, the Navionics program will work? I guess that brings up another question. Based on what El...

We took the plunge yesterday and got the Motorola Droid X on Verizon. We are now looking for a Marine Chart App. The one I have found so far is Navionics. The region we would purchase first is from the Columbia River up to Skagway. The cost is ~$10. Seems inexpensive for what you get. The...

10-2 is great Scott. I'll bring some chips. Again, thanks for doing this.
