So for fathers day my family got me a new anchor for the boat. she got a delta fast set it is the one size up from what was recommended for a 22' boat. Is this a good anchor for overnighting on? we have just been using the Danforth type. we do all of our anchoring in the SJI and straits of juan...

So went out to check on the boat after being parked for the majority of fall and winter. Noticed the bottom of door looks to have swelled and started delaminating going up the door towards the door knob. Does anyone know if these wood doors repair well or should I start looking for a...

So we Leave Tuesday evening for almost a week in the San Juan’s. we had no plans or itinerary other than we were spending two days with the little ones on board and planned to stay in marinas with them on the dock. Thursday mid-day we would run them back to Sequim and they were going with...

our ez loader roller trailer is in need of replacing some cracked rollers also going to go with the no mark yellow ones. was curious how can i find out the actual size of the roller? looking online I found some decent deals on 5" rollers but not sure if mine are the same size.

was in Neah bay this weekend and seen a huge cdory on the trailer getting ready to launch. later it turns out they were moored a few docks down, went to help him catch the boat one evening. I originally had figured it was a 26 ocean pro, he told me it was a 30' and that they had only made two...

been looking on line trying to find a list of SJI state parks with either mooring balls or dock, trying to map out a week stay up there and am trying to avoid the bigger marinas except for shower days. anyone know where i can find a list of them?

so our c-dory has what looks to be an older cigarette lighter on the helm, this was originally hard wired(piggy backed) on old switch panel. when we replaced the old switch panel this winter to a 8 switch blue sea. I re ran the wired into the fuse block. while we don't smoke we do use this for...

well over the long weekend we decided to do a little boat camping and forego the derby this weekend. we originally had plans to go to CQ to avoid crowds and fish, but wind and weather forecast were not looking that hot and no one wanted to tent camp in the rain. so we spend most the day...

so we put the dingy on for the first time as we are going to be staying out tonight overnight. I used basic ratchet straps but don't like how they make contact with the inflatable side. I put a cloth between the contact. but was curious if this will cause damage or what others recommend for a...

well yesterday was the last day for our shrimp season. I will look forward to next year. this year my brother and his family were able to make it, witch doesn't happen often enough. we had good weather minus the first sat where we were struggling with wind tides and wind waves. we also...

While trailering the boat wend. I notice one of the screw heads on the brass bow guard showing more of a profile. Got home and sure enough it has backed out about a turn and a half. Must have happened when beaching it? Question is I know these have failed in the past. Is there something I need...

so we rarely beach the boat but during shrimp season we beach launch and last weekend beached between pulls. once back on the trailer I noticed the bottom pain has rubbed off the front of the brass bow guard and about 3/4" on each side. granted the bottom paint is older and will be redone this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alnxr9it ... e=youtu.be was wondering if anyone has ever used this way to anchor before? until we go windlass this is they way I am leaning to keep from going to the bow all the time. my main question is even with the quick release wouldn't you still bee hooked...

So I have still yet to put in an anchor locker drain, as we were not really using it and I was not really wanting to put holes in the boat. but now the time has come(here in a week or so ) and after reading through the old post about a potential void and drain tubes ect. I was just curious is it...

So there was a Danforth anchor on the c dory when we bought her a couple years ago, and up to this point all overnighters have been on docks. this spring/summer we plan to change that. so I have only anchored drift boats in rivers and small duck boats in ponds. none of that experience will...
