Installed chart retainers above the window, pictures are in the Sunset Ride album.

Joe of the Seawolf, thanks for that suggestion, as you guessed, stuffing rope down a small hole on a pitching foredeck is like pushing a wheelbarrow with rope handles. Which is why I have been trying to use a spool that rope comes on to handle the 1/2 inch rode. Since reading your suggestion, I...

I have found rolled up charts can be kind of a pain to safely locate out of the way. I got some plexiglas from a glass shop, remnants from an installation for free, and made some chart retainers that fit above the windows. Pictures are available in Sunset Ride photo album.

Sat on the boat, just looking around at what I want to get done on it before taking back to the water. First time I have been able to sit in the sunshine in the C-Dory, even if it was still on the trailer. Just got the winter tarp off of it yesterday. I use a spool to control the 600 feet of...

I have the tall top on my CD-22, and find it quite nice not having to keep my neck bent while in the cabin, my over 6' tall friends like it too. If you want to get a Wallace with it (recommended), get a size that will suit your needs. I didn't know more than one size would be available for my...

On the window thing, be sure to push forward before pushing in on the catch, works lots better that way. Another problem of water in the bow was the drain for the anchor rode locker would allow water into the locker when in seas of two or so feet or more. A poor seal between the locker and the...

I have 600 feet of twisted nylon rode that I have marked every 50 feet, the 50 foot marks are 1 strand of black yarn at 50 and 350, two strands of black yarn at 150 and 450, and three strands at 550. At 100 and 400 feet is one strand of orange, at 200 and 500 is 2 strands of orange, and 300 feet...

'twould be interesting to meet, we may be in PWS in mid July, salmon fishing in Kenai late July, then probably back to Prince William Sound in mid August for silvers, along with several trips into Kachemak Bay for halibut. We are looking forward to another fine summer on Sunset Ride.

I know what you mean about Snow coming before Spring, here we have had the blustery spring weather, warm enough to tease that Spring is coming, but the snow on the ground doesn't seem to be going anywhere very fast. On awakening in the morning there always seems to be some new white stuff, that...

Thank you very much for fixing my permissions with my album, I have been there and set things aright as to how I remember they happened. Had to do it before to long, you know what they say about getting old.

I would like to add that I am having some problems with rearangeing the photos in my album, Sunset Ride. I see no dropdown box next to the photos that would give me the option to move the picture so that photos in a series are not spread out by alphabetic order. Perhaps the album is assigned to...

I have a G4/450 running OSX 10.3 (Panther), using Safari 1.2 (since MS quit making Internet Explorer in response to Apple making Safari). I also get no use from the spellcheck, all I get is a blank screen titled phpSpell when I click the spell check button, so I have to do it the old way, proofread.

Greeting to Chris and Janet, I am a 1 year old owner, and my take on the twins is get two fifties. If I had it to do over again, I would, rather than the two forty horse Hondas. With the kind of loads you say you want to haul, you will like the extra 20 horsepower. If I remember rightly, there...

Saw a blue and white CD 22 on a trailer, peaking out from under a tarp, looking like it should be out on the water. Wait a few weeks I thought, then we can go, after the snow has melted enough to get the tow vehicle back into where your are.
