C-Brats! One of several functions we need to restore from the old site is Gathering signups. This post is for a non-existent gathering, testing an RSVP add-on I've just installed. Let's see how it works!

We're once again, moving forward with the developer on the C-Brat migration. As of a few days ago we were presented with a test site to start beating up on. Having done this enough in my working days, there's a fine line between having adequate eyes on a project and a mob. I'm looking for 2-3...

It's been a while since I had anything to share on the C-Brats site update, but here's the latest. Things are moving slower than expected, but we're seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. For those of you who participate at the Tugnuts, you can get a hint of what's coming here at the C-Brats...

I've picked up an iPad that will be part of my updated navigation package. Many of you are aware you need cellular iPads if you want an embedded GPS chip, so that's what I fetched. I was planning on leaving the cellular off as I can tether off the phone when internet is needed, but T-Mobile has...

This is related to the "Big Changes Coming" post that describes upcoming site upgrades, but it's important enough to give it its own topic. As mentioned in that post, there will undoubtedly be some bumps in the road doing a migration of this scale and magnitude. One of them just surfaced -...

I'm buying back the dink I sold with my Nordic a while back at a good price. It's an Alaska Series, but it's the big one - 270 TDS coming in at 8'10". I really liked it previously as there was plenty of room for wife, dog and anything going to/from shore. However, in measuring the cabin top of...

It's been a while since your C-Brat nerd has posted a novel 'round here. If that's something you've no time nor interest in, I'll cut to the chase. Big changes are coming. You won't recognize this place in the coming months - and that's a good thing. For those interested in all the gory...

Howdy all, We're instituting a change in the next week or so with ads. Yes, there will be more of them. In short: The directly sold ads you see up top take an inordinate amount of my time, and given my lack of attention to managing them - the revenues are now close to zero. Truthfully - I've...

I hope. Sorry for the 2-ish days of down time. Our 20+ year old server finally bit the dust. I knew this day would come, and the good news is - I'd worked on options quite a while back. However, life gets in the way and that long overdue project just kept getting shoved to the back burner...

C-Brats - two quick videos for those of you with Honda eu2000's. These are great tips, both fuel related. Mine started in with the dreaded surging/rough idle/hard starting last year, and based on some articles and videos I read online I ordered up a plethora of parts with the intent of going...

Paid a visit to the factory yesterday with Joe and Ruth of R-Matey. Perhaps some of you locals have seen this, but for the rest of you - here's a bit o' history. This ol' gal birthed many a C-Dory 22 Cruiser - maybe yours.

Taco left for greener pastures today. Having only gone out a few times in the last several years, I just couldn't justify continuing to take up space in the garage. The good news is, Taco went to a fellow C-Brat who will spend many a day on Priest Lake with my ol' pal. Taco will join the crew...

I stumbled upon this "hack" a while back, but didn't have need to use it until today. I'm glad to report - it works! As many of you are aware, once you program your MMSI into your VHF - there's usually no way for you as the owner to change or delete it. Sending it back to the manufacturer is...

I've always thought my lovely little town of Port Angeles had great potential to be a C-Brat gathering location, but have never suggested it for one primary reason. The marina is too far away from everything. It sits beyond the shipyards, quite a ways from downtown, and is admittedly not very...

That's right - Bratingham returns! Da Nerd will take time from his busy retirement schedule to head this one up. Which won't be terribly difficult, as I ̶f̶o̶o̶l̶e̶d̶ convinced The Catman to help me out. Brock's so nice, I'll just sweet talk him into doing all the work. Dates are...

I'll get this over in the For Sale forum once I make contact - this is a "friend of a friend" deal at this point. An early 16 Angler in what is reported to be exceptional condition. All I know beyond that is what you see in this pic, but the most important part: It's RED. Everyone knows red is...

Thought I'd toss this out there to start the discussion. I can't spearhead the gathering, but I'll be there opening weekend. Link to signup sheet

Finally got around to updating the electronics in my 16. The Lowrance chartplotter/sounder worked OK, but with no permanent VHF installed I took the opportunity to go modern with all the AIS/DSC/NMEA 2000 goodies. Made for a very nifty setup. Lots of great function, reasonably priced and it...

For those of you attending the Friday Harbor gathering this weekend - we'll have C-Brat burgees and patches available! We'll discount them a couple bucks each from the normal price, plus you'll avoid the shipping charge that normally applies when ordering online. Special Friday Harbor...
