It is 6:19pm and Blue Eagle is full of fuel (170 gallons) and food. The weather, here in Marina Del Rey, is beautiful. Point Conception is reasonably calm, after a month of unseasonably high wind waves, but there is a winter storm bearing down on us from Washington. If conditions and fuel...

Our esteemed webmaster is also a skilled graphic designer. Please put Blue Eagle down for four. David and Donald

I like it, but perhaps, since the C-Dog silhouette was facing in, the new one should be facing out, symbolically representing that although the boats and many of the owners are the same, C-Brats has a different direction.

Congratulations and welcome aboard! David and Donald Blue Eagle

We have a post style mount, as opposed to an arch. It reduces my overall height, allowing us to pass under lower bridges and such, and also weighs less, keeping the center of gravity down. On the other hand, this limits our dinghy size, as an arch could allow a longer dinghy to slide under it...

We could pick it the same way that we pick a restaurant at a C-Brat cruise. Open it up for proposals, see if any of the designs really strike a collective note, and if not, vote on the top contenders. David

I keep a dehumidifier running at the driest setting when the boat is not in use. It only costs a few dollars a month, which is cheaper then even one mold cleanup.

Several years ago I stuck a couple MREs with FRUs in with the emergency gear, in case a day trip ever turned into a late night adventure. I've only had to use them twice, and both times they immediately boosted morale. Well worth the $7 each. David

I have a similar set-up with the hose-splitter for the twins, and it is money well spent. It is also important not to neglect the external hardware. Salt and corrosion can destroy an engine from the outside in as well. David

Blue Eagle has reached MDR, has a temporary slip near the launch ramp, and we are back at home, catching up on things. Last year, the pita and humas proved popular, and I would like to bring more. Loaded pre-cooked baked potatoes sound great, but hot would be better then cold. Does anyone have...

The differences are slight, and I would mostly consider condition, price, and how the boat is rigged. The CD 25 has a slightly wider table, and a slightly narrower gunwale and center aisle. The CD Venture 26 and CC Marinaut (26) have slightly harder chines and a full height transom. The...

We're on our way. Just passed under the Golden Gate Bridge at 4:39pm. See you all in Marina del Rey. David and Donald Blue Eagle

Jim, Please put Blue Eagle on the list. Both my father and I will be there. Thanks for coordinating all of this. Will we have a pot luck, as in prior years? If so, what could we bring? David and Donald Blue Eagle

The first two boats are in the water. Better hurry up and launch; we leave in just 54 hours. P.S. My father and I be in and out today and tomorrow, but we will be there for Tuesday dinner, if anyone cares to join us.

60 Hours Early

Just passed under the Bay Bridge, in a small craft advisory. Yea! We're on our way. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday. David and Donald

We have a couple possible plans for Tuesday night. If you see our boat at the marina, that means we are driving up, and will be there by 6 or 7 at the latest, and would love to join everyone for dinner. Plan 'B' involves a late night arrival. On Sunday, we plan on returning to the marina...
