One of many beautiful anchorages on the inside passage. This is Goat Cove on Finlayson Channel.

Jackson Narrows near Klemtu BC. Just Beautiful.

Unbelivable good weather up the inside passage. It was like this all the way to Juneau. Not a drop of rain for 3 weeks.

My boat, now resident in Anchorage, is insured by Allstate. I have homeowners and life insurance through them, too (but not auto). I can't remember the premium off head, but my biggest gripe is that they don't have an "agreed value" policy. Jim

Do keep us posted on performance changes with the permatrim. FYI: The original U.S. permatrim distributor, John Jenson, has retired from the permatrim business. The new U.S. distributor is an outfit called Shipyard Island Marina, 1-800-213-3323. http://www.shipyardisland.com. The point of...

A company called Sun-Mar also makes a composting marine head. From what I can see, the Sun Mar unit is a little bigger, and it doesn't separate the liquid wastes from solids the way the AirHead does. The Sun Mar takes a slightly larger current draw than the AirHead (333mA, as opposed to 120mA...

Gary: C-Dory 27s are great. You'll love it. Congratulations. Jim

A lot of people have a hard time with Aiviq, because it's not an English word. First, it's spelled AIVIQ. Lots of people try to put an L in there, or end it with a G. I suppose it could be hard to pronounce, too. It's pronounced like A Vick. In fact, when I first heard the word, I thought...

Unbelievable! She's a C-Dory again. Fantastic job. Are you hoping to get it in the water this year? Jim

Pat: Don't hold your breath waiting for an auction. My wife will have to twist my arm a lot harder than she's doing yet to get me to sell it. Sea Wolf: Sahel isn't a nickname, it's "the boundary zone in Africa between the Sahara in the north, and the more fertile region to the south. An...

I'm still here in the burning sands of the Sahel. The temperature hit 130 last week, and boy am I looking forward to getting on my boat. Hopefully I'll be taking it north starting in Mid July. The engine is a volvo-penta I/O AQ 151/250 with 146hp. So far, it's serving just fine. In the long...

Da Nag mentioned a Diesel power, jet drive "pod" that bolts to the transom in another thread: Forum: All C-Dorys, All the time Thread: Diesel Power. They might be suitable for a 25 (start at 150hp, up to 300hp), and wouldn't take any cockpit space. I don't know if they're on the market yet...

It might already be to late. A couple weeks ago I ordered a NA-C821 card (Dixon Entrance to Kodiak Island), but was shipped a NA-C801 card (South East Alaska). The vendor said that the super wides had been discontinued. I had to buy a NA-C802 card (Gulf of Alaska) to complete the coverage I...

If any of you are Mac users, you know that there have not been many Mac compatible charting/navigation programs available. About the only one was NavimaQ, which was only available in OS-9. The original developers have sold the program to Barco Software, which is developing an OS-X version due...

This was just announced today on the State Departments web site: The Departments of State and Homeland Security announced today the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative to secure and expedite travel. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative will require all U.S. citizens, Canadians, citizens of...
