ME! :wink: Pat

The Anchorage Boat Show website says the 2006 show will be in February. The page is pretty old, so they don't have more exact information on it. But since Alaska Mining and Diving is a sponsor, you can probably get current info from them now. Pat

SonnyAK Alaska Mining and Diving Supply is the C-Dory dealer in Anchortown. (But you probably already know this.) They usually have one of each model they sell at the boat show in the "spring." It should be really easy to scope out a 25 footer on a trailer in their yard just before the show...

I didn't realize how many earthquakes occur in Alaska, either, until I started reading the weekly earthquake report in the Fairbanks paper. I guess we get hundreds of them each month. But because this state is sooooo big and is so sparsely populated and so far away from the lower 48 that most...

What a great list of moose stories. I was wondering how they get them moose to take breath-alyzer tests. Pat

Bill... You are scary!! :shock: Thanks for a great new way to feel part of a tremendous community. Pat

Hi Fred, I have just had C-Farer for a year now. I'm ready to redo some of the cabin in her this winter. I think a small galley would be a good idea. I was wondering if you are willing to put some pics of your cabin changes in an album? Pat

Hi Mike; Do it! This site just keeps getting better and better. Pat

Hi Bill, You are the man! I downloaded, saved and printed out the manual even though it's for a new boat than C-Farer. Lots of good general information in there, too. Thanks, Pat

Bearbait, Great method to mark your rode. I think I'll do that too. I use a similar approach to marking the tips of my fly lines but I'm too dim to transfer the idea over to rope. :crook As soon as it stops raining around here I think I'll bring my rope in to dry out for marking. Pat

Hi Wandering, You might be interested in the "Elegant Punt." It's a funky pram that could just fit into your needs. http://www.smallboats.com/bolger.htm Does that produce stand near Canby still sell those chocolate-covered sweet corn kernals? Pat

Hi Andy, Whoo ... you've got quite a thread started here. I'll be checking around Fairbanks to see if that paint is available locally. The diesel stove was gone when I got the boat but the nifty little exhaust stack is still there. I bought one of those little Dickenson propane heaters...

Hey Andy, Thanks for the tip about the paint. Did you buy it locally or on-line? Any chance of a few photos? My '83 Angler has the bulkhead painted black, too. I plan to paint it white just as you did. It's a Juneau alumnus, too. Pat

Hi Byrdman, Were you looking for something less involved than the "Mapmaker" programs? There is quite a bit of GIS stuff out there but a lot of it is spendy and kinda clunky. If you haven't already peeked, here is one of the suppliers (in the UK.) http://www.mapmaker.com/pro.htm Pat

Camelguy, I paid $13K for C-Farer last October. She is an '83 Angler. She came with a 70 Hp Suzuki 4-stroke and a 15 Hp Suzuki 4-stroke kicker. She had a working depth finder and a VHF. There is an older EZ loader single-axle trailer that carries her around. I felt lucky to get the boat before...

Right you are, Gunnar, National Geographic ran a big feature on it then. But that shouldn't keep folks from taking a peek at Mars this summer, even if it's not going to be so close. Pat

C-Farer in Juneau, Summer of 04

Hi Jeff, The C-Farer has saddle tanks similar to the ones on red Fox. They were that way when I bought the boat last fall. Now, the filler openings have standard stainless steel screw-in caps that come up through the gunwhales. Someone did a nice job on them when they were put in. When I get...
