Can anyone tell me what the dimensions of a CD-22 v-berth are? At the widest part of the berth, narrowest, and down the centerline?

The seller, Ricardo, sent me a thoughtful, responsive email, a couple of days ago. Sorry I wasn't able to post it sooner. Ricardo wrote: Thank you Andy, While we are moving forward with all aspects of Cape Dory Cruisers and certainly the Cape Dory 220 Marinaut Pilot House Cruiser the process...

Thanks guys. Yes, Lake Ozette is mosquito central—surpassed in my experience only by Cape Sable at the south end of Everglades National Park. Horrid, fast little salt water mosquitoes there, which leave painful bites the size of Hershey's Kisses. And then there's Cream Lake Basin, in Olympic...

Can the ThermaCELL be used inside the cabin?

I just emailed the ad's owner and asked for more info. Let's see what comes back.

... and gummy bears.

Big money indeed. Big marketing, too. In the above-mentioned New Yorker article, the author recounts a researcher's visit to the first recreational-marijuana facility in Massachusetts. Here's what the researcher found on the menu — "each offering laced with large amounts" of THC...

OK, so perhaps we can all agree there hasn't been sufficient research, yet, to reach definitive conclusions about the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use. But, as Malcolm Gladwell observes in this recent New Yorker Magazine article, there is enough info out there right now to...

Do any of you remember back in the '50s when the words, "Made in Japan" were a joke, synonymous with cheaply made junk? When, for example, if you couldn't afford an American-made baseball, you could buy a Japanese thing-that-looked-like-a-hardball for a quarter? And how the first solid contact...

Thanks gents!

The waterproofing on my camperback needs restoring. Can anyone tell me how many coats of 303 spray I should use, and about how much of the product it would take?

Yes, my setup is the same as yours, and that has been the primary reason I haven't done this work earlier. I have a lot of electronics up there. Boris, when you did that work on your boat, did you notice if the area had a balsa core?

Thanks guys!

Apologies if this has already been covered, but I have been getting leaks at the points where my roof rails are attached to the cabin top. The leaks have been showing up at the corners of the wooden handrails inside the cabin. As a temporary fix, I have caulked around the mounting points on the...

What a great idea! Can you tell me how much it depletes your house battery?

Thanks for all the thoughtful advice, everyone. Maybe I've been overthinking this. I really hate trying to sleep with mosquitos whining around my head, but maybe insect repellent and mosquito coils will be sufficient for my trip. I'm planning on leaving Seattle in early June, and taking about a...

Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys. That's what I've been doing, too—propping the door open with a water bottle. That works great when there are no bugs around. However, I'm planning an Alaska cruise this summer, and to combat condensation in that wet climate, I figure I'll need...

It sounds as though skipper Stephen Biernacki may have been a newcomer to Oregon waters. According to an article in today's Asbury Park (New Jersey) Press, Biernacki and crew member James Lacey, who both died in the accident, had fished out of Viking Village, NJ, "for years." "We are all...
