I have used a C link to extend chain with no difficulties. Like Thataway Bob I use JB Weld to add strength. The link does seem to rust a bit so I have typically replaced it every couple of years. It has routinely fed through the Lewmar V700 gipsy. With no hitches.

Thanks for all the kind words. As Roger of Dreamer said: Once a Brat always a Brat. We look forward to reading about everyone's adventures.

Well folks, C-Cakes has been sold to a nice couple from Port Townsend. They are former sailors and plan to attend Friday Harbor. Thanks everybody for your kind words and for looking at her.

Hi all, The starboard windshield wiper on C-cakes died late last year and upon installing the replacement I just discovered, with the help of Fred Young of Anita Marie, that the rocker switch for the wiper on the distribution panel, (nav lights, horn, etc. panel), was also dead. Has anyone ever...

Many good ideas here. I particularly like Westward's on the balance between too much and too little. I also make it a point to have place for everything and put things back after use. To help me, I label the important spots, i.e. A red cross where the first aid kit is, a big label where thef...

Hmmm, time for me to work on my clarity of expression. When I said "I do my best to always carry a full container of common sense." I meant in addition to my normal preparations, not instead of safety equipment and planning. :wink:

I agree with most of what has been said, both by minimalistsand maximalists. Those of you that know me know that I am a bit of a safety nut. I carry more stuff than many people do and less certainly than people who are even more nutty about safety than I. Having said that I do my best to always...

We've used nexus for more than 6 years and find it to be very handy. Going into Canada by boat just call when you are about 15 minutes out from your Canadian poe. They will ask for information, who's on the boat, boat info, why visiting Canada,etc. they will also ask for your "br" number and or...

He's a fascinating guy. We have been fortunate enough to spend some time with him. At Echo Bay, by his museum, he constructed a logger's shack with a broad ax out of a single cedar log, walls, structure,roof and furniture. He did it to show how loggers made these one-use shacks when they moved...

Harv, Pacific Yachting is a Canadian boating Magazine notable for the absence of bountiful bouncing bikini babes (always) and the presence of thoughtful articles on cruising, maintenance and safety (usually). Each year they have a rendezvous recap and we finally made it in. The recap was...

Casey, If you replace the catch on the door edge while installing the new part, I suggest you blunt the ends of the attaching screws a little. A few years ago the tips of those screws made just enough contact with the edge of the tempered glass in our door that the door "exploded" and the entire...
