Hi everyone. My boat policy is just up for renewal and I'm wondering what I really need. I'm covered for theft, total loss, underinsured other owners and liability. I've had many years with never a claim. Since we're aboard most of the time or near, theft of the whole boat isn't likely...

Getting close! Light winds and flat seas to all coming.

Happy New Year C Brats!!! Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2013 Kerri On will be leaving the San Diego area soon, heading east to Yuma. Just wondering if any c brats have input of cruising possibilities in the Colorado at Yuma? It looks to have some meanders and open areas that are...

Hi we've been putting on some miles lately. I have wondered about a slight oil sheen off the transim that I thought must have been the preserving fluid my mechanic uses at service as all the steering components looked tight and drip free. Did an overnight in the harbor and a tour this am...

Hi folks, just a question. I'm running a tandem road runner trailer with bearing buddies. I had the trailer all serviced in mid August. I check my bearings each morning to see that the little plate in there can still be moved a bit, if not a couple squirts of grease go in. I stop after the...

My upcoming cruise into US fresh waters will be a first for me. Going into freshwater lakes like Powell, what do we do about sink drains? ie special requirements for grey water. Also on the road as a boaterhome what do you guys do? Do I need to adapt a grey tank or just not wash dishes? I...

Hi C Brats, I'll be on the road all this Fall with Kerri On and in checking with my cell phone plan in Canada I could trade my cruising kitty for the cost of the roaming plan! I thought I could buy a phone to us in the states once I get there, anyone with a good idea on cheap basic cell email...

Hi folks if anyone gets an email from me with just RE in the subject line. Just delete it. My email address book may have been hacked. I don't have many of you in there just be careful.

With many of us planning to cruise the Broughton Archipeligo this summer, in chatting with other c brats it was felt to try and hold a gathering in the Broughtons. I will be at Pierres at Echo Bay for July 6 and 7 and in the immediate area for several more days perhaps Waddington Bay...
