I ordered the device yesterday. I expect that the USCG tested prototypes before approval, so I'm satisfied with that. Meanwhile, I will continue to carry the collection of outdated flares currently on board; but now they will be strictly backups - the legal requirement is covered by the new...

Same question - but for Canada. Where/How to get economic wifi/internet connections in Canada? Mary and I hope to spend most of the summer (2016) up 'North doing the Trent Severn and Rideau canals. We are currently using iPhones (AT&T and Verizon) and a Verizon iPad with prepaid monthly data...

Bob, good 'find! It looks very interesting. Does the $10 version permit a person to enter a lake elevation and thus have a modified shoreline displayed? Thx! C&M

Greetings Friends! Yes, we reached North Tonawanda yesterday. Today is Day139 with 2403sm under the hill since leaving home. This has been a WONDERFUL trip and we're already thinking that some day we'll return and spend the entire summer exploring the NY State Canal System. I've referred...

Charlie ... Where have you been? ...we missed 'Ya! Best, Casey&Mary

Good write-up and recap on your AK trip, mileages, and costs. Thanks. I have been considering switching to a (single) four-blade prop but haven't done it (yet). With the cost of a SS prop, one doesn't do that on a whim. I know many vendors will permit you to 'try a different prop, but we...

Check with B&G Trailers in Deland (FL). They can sell you a trailer that will fit perfectly or build one to your specifications. I'm sure there are other builders (being Florida and all...) closer to you but we've dealt with B&G and found them reliable, etc. Casey&Mary

(JOKE) We've all heard... "...lightning never strikes the same place twice." "...it doesn't have to."

In 2013 we did the same loop but we did it counterclockwise. The reason for that was that since fuel didn't appear to be available until the north (Clover Passage) side of the loop we figured it would be better be low-fuel there, than on the Punch Bowl side of the island (where there is no fuel...

We spent the night "on the wall" west of Lock 22. It was the first night in a long time that we'd been totally free of train noise ... which was a nice change. But in exchange for that Quiet we had more (many more) mosquitoes than we'd experienced on this trip. ...oh yea, then there was the...

Noo Yawk, You have a vessel that has been from here-to-there, and back. It's well tested, and awaiting your new Adventures. Fortunately, for me, I was along for the 2006 trip to Alaska that Bill mentioned previously. It was a grand time indeed. For part of the trip we leap-frogged sixteen...

Yea ... what Mary said. West Point (USMA) is spectacular from the water. Alas, there isn't any place to tie-up and go ashore. (Previously I had contacted a retired SGM at the USMA Visitor Center, and he referred me to the Harbormaster. The small dock is being reconstructed, but even when...

Thanks Bob, I'm surprised I didn't see that thread back in 2012 given the amount of time I spend on C-Brats. (Then again, maybe I DID see it, and forgot. [that seems to be happening more and more]) anyway.... Story time: Your comment about how this boat was developed reminded me of a...

Gee's ... and I thought I'd discovered something New! I guess 'ol Casey was asleep at the switch back in 2012 when this thread was on 'Brats. A day late and a dollar short; that's me! Best, Casey&Mary (On the west side of Lock #8 on the Erie Canal ... Yahoo! :-)

We made it to Waterford, NY (the eastern end of the Erie Canal)! The trip up from NYC was enjoyable and very scenic. Passing West Point was very impessive, and the various ships were always a sight to see. Our arrival at Waterford was easy and we got a space on the dock with electricity...

This is our seventh night at Liberty Landing and the rent is up in the morning, so we'll be headed up the Hudson with the tide. NYC has been a lot of fun and we've about 'touristed ourselves to death. We spent about five hours at the 9/11 Memorial and still didn't see it all. We thought it...

I agree - a wind scoop would probably be limited when beach camping (it needs the weather cocking to capture any breeze). The Waeco/Dometic is back to its old 'self, and working perfectly. Looking back on it I think the biggest factors were the ambient temperature and that we (badly) needed to...

Jay, Which data package did you select? As I recall deLorme offers choices ranging from ten minutes down to reporting every two minutes (pretty pricey, but superb detail). We're still in NYC. They had a really nice fireworks display last night (actually several, from different locations) but...

We will hope to see any 'Brats along the way" We will be departing NYC Thursday morning headed up the Hudson. For those who don't already have it, our SPOT address is: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/face ... HgY9XbCayZ Best, Casey&Mary

Yea, it's been a wonderful trip. Knowing that the Erie Canal will be uncomfortably hot, I'm giving some thought to buying one of the Walmart $99 5000btu air conditioners. Two problems: (1) no Walmart's at hand (but I'll be watching)' and (2) not sure how easy/difficult it might be to rig on...
