Mike - I got a 2016 RoadRunner Trailer with bunks. I bought it used, but it hadn't been used much. The winch was about half way up the post and I adjusted it both up and down and it really didn't seem to sit where I wanted it to. I could get the eye to go just above the roller but then it...

C Val I just got a Road Runner trailer 4500# and I am having the same problem that you had with the bow roller hitting the eye. I agree tilting the arm up slightly would solve the problem. Another possible solution is to replace the bow roller with a double roller system so one roller would...

Many thanks to Greg And Cindie for hosting the gathering! I am back in Canada but in no rush to go home. Graig and Ciny did a great job of arranging great weather for us. Thank you Two Bears for all the great dinners together.

Thanks Mike. Martin (or anyone) do you know the best place for the last gas stop before leaving Canada so my tanks are full before crossing the straight?

I was searching for information about using Ethanol gas in my engines and came across this information that seemed to make some sense to me. I know that most of you use Ethanol gas all the time with no problems, yet when Nomad went to Friday Harbor a few years ago he ended up with costly...

That is awesome. It must have changed because when I wanted to leave my truck in Comox a couple of years ago, it was the same price for every additional day as it was to launch the boat. Thank you for the update. The Comox ramp is the best choice because it can be used at almost any tide...

My plan is to arrive on Friday and stay in the San Juans for about a week or longer after the event - depending on the weather. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again this year.

Is anyone interested in going some time in August?

According to someone on Trip Advisor: “Wonderful sulphur-smelling warm water” https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g154942-d317675-r304691467-Hot_Springs_Cove-Tofino_Clayoquot_Sound_Vancouver_Island_British_Columbia.html

I'm thinking that I would like to go to the West Coast of Vancouver Island (near Tofino) between June 29 and July 11. Is anyone else interested in launching at Grice Bay and exploring this area around that time? These dates would give you just enough time to drive across Vancouver Island and...

Comox has a good boat launch, and you can leave your truck and trailer there, but parking is expensive. I think it costs about $16 CAD to launch the boat and parking for 24 hours plus another $16 for each additional 24 hours. However for 4 days it is probably not a big deal. You can launch at...

I can not make it to the Powell River CBGT this year because of date conflicts but I went last year and it was a lot of fun. I would like to suggest if anyone is interested in a PRE-Get together cruise I would love some company to go to the West Coast of Vancouver Island (near Tofino) between...

Mike_J said Mike, I really want to go but I would be much happier going with someone who has been there before. At the moment, it looks like August will work best for me.

Those are nice pictures Mark. Thank you for the information. Here is another link to an aerial view of Grice Bay http://tofinohiatus.com/tofinohikes/grice-bay.html The pictures on Google Earth may not be up to date as the road and area were closed much of last year for improvements, however...

Yes, it sure would be nice. We have had a cold and long winter, but at least we are getting a little sunshine right now. I'm still wondering about the best month to go to the West Coast.

Sleepy C - That is what I was thinking. I would really like to put some better storage solutions under the sink/stove area. I had never seen that done before, but one of the really nice benefits is that you don't need a lot of carpentry skills or tools and it is super light. There are some...

Thanks Mark Yea, Azek makes sense. I think it is still quite light and I'm sure it is much stronger than the foam board. There are a few projects I think it will work better for. However, I'm still curious about these foam cabinets and whether they are durable. If spring ever arrives here...

There are many options. Port Alberni is a long way from Clayquot Sound, but an option for someone with lots of time who wants to explore both areas. My thought was to put the boat in the water at Grice Bay near Tofino. The launch is free and although you would normally have to pay for...
