    SeaFair question

    Where is a good place to view the Blue Angels from the Sound. I have no interest in going to Lake Washington. Also....I'll be on a Coast Guard Aux. patrol Saturday night and Sunday morning, around the Tacoma area. If you see a white Campion with CG ensign, give me a friendly wave. We will...

    Thanks Champ

    I've used all kinds of grills and stoves for boating purposes...Weber, butane, and the mounted kind. I have one on my Devlin. But....the easiest, most efficient setup is the $17 George Foreman grill. Just plug it into my 1500w inverter, turn the engine on, and 5 mins. later, a perfectly...

    South Sound "on the hard" Storage

    Thanks to this forum, I learned of a nice "one the hard" deal at LaConner marina. They are storing my Devlin for $108/mo. That beats the moorage at Anacortes of $240/mo. Nice thing is that they will launch the boat 5 times a month without a charge. Also, if a freeze is coming, then they will...

    Vinyl seat repair

    The white seat pad for my I/O housing has a small tear, unfortunately not along the seam. It's about 1/4 inch. in length. What product is recommended for cosmetically sealing this tear? Thanks! -Greg

    Final Voyage

    We're on the hook in Quartermaster Bay, getting set to deliver our 27' Devlin to Kitsap Marina to sell it. Signal Yacht Brokers is offering us free summer moorage in return for a listing. That alone will save us $500. Such beautiful weather we enjoyed this long weekend. If it's our swan song...

    Boomer

    We spent the week doing a Bremerton to Hood Canal and back trip. Moored at Kingston, Pleasant Harbor, and then one too many nights at Port Ludlow, due to weather. Day 3 at Ludlow, NOAA is calling for SCA but the wind hasn't picked up yet and we decide to make a run to Foulweather Bluff, then...

    May need a partner

    As some of you know, one of my boats is a 27' Devlin trawler. Due to lack of use on our part, plus lack of charter income, we decided to sell it this Fall. However, as we sit here on it in sunny Port Ludlow, we are having 2nd thoughts. A 50/50 partnership would be more ideal. We only use it...

    Hood Canal sites

    It appears we're going to be cruising the Hood Canal next week with a starting point at Belfair. We'll end it at Brownsville, near Bremerton. What are the "can't miss" stops along the Hood Canal, aside from a certain nuclear sub base. (I hear they serve 3 hots and a cot). -Greg

    Water pump problem

    In my Campion, I have a simple water system.....no hot water. Just flip the faucet knob and the water pump engages. It's always powered. The brand name of the pump is Togmaz or something like that (it's buried). Anyway...during the last freeze, I drained the water tank completely through...

    Hitchin' a ride

    The last weekend of March, we are in need of a tow on a suitable trailer. 30 miles from Brownsville to Belfair, one way. I'd cover your gas plus $100 for your time. The boat is my 27' Devlin, inboard. I suspect a trailer that handles a 25' boat could handle it. Thanks! -Greg

    1/2 ton vs. 3/4 ton

    I'm wanting to haul my 22' Campion and, at times, a 2000 lb. pop up camper. I'm figuring combined weight is 8000 lbs. fully loaded. The 1/2 ton truck that intrigues me is a loaded '02 GMC 1500 Sierra Denali, 6.0, with quadrasteer (a feature I really want). It's rated as having a 10,000 towing...

    TC-24

    I may be in the market this spring for a cat like this. Weather permitting, I might look at it as early as Saturday. Would you say 65k is a fair price for this TC 24? From what I've read, the sloping front windows can create a greenhouse effect. Can that be solved with some aftermarket...

    Miami adVice

    My wife and I are taking advantage of some low cruise rates out of Miami to the Bahamas and back, around Valentine's Day. The night prior to boarding will be spent in Miami. I'm trying to zero in on a condo or decent motel that's in safe, walking distance to the cruise ships. Is the South...

    AIS receiver vs. Marinetraffic.com

    Thanks to a recommendation on this board, I've been monitoring www.marinetraffic.com for some time, comparing it's data to what I see from my house. (We have a view of the Columbia River). So far, I've been quite impressed with it's real time accuracy. Today, we had an experience of using it...

    Dinghy storage??

    Normally I put our 10 foot Livingston Dinghy on the finger dock for winter storage but this year, the marina is enforcing a revenue-creating no-no. They said I must either put it in the water, behind my boat, or they'll happily store it for $25/mo. Question...if I leave it in the water and it...
