Steve, maybe a good cruise might help stave off that oncoming depression state, and if that doesn't work, I could get you a ticket to Seattle and you could come and work on my boat
Enjoy, and stay safe,

A year into owning our boat, we finally got our name put on. Say Hi to "Agostino", named after our best pal dog who died just before we bought the boat. He would have loved it.

Chad, WAY to go. good name and nice font, great size (readable from more than 100 yards), and hope to get to cross wakes with you somewhere down the way.
Yesterday, SleepyC got her new Vessel Safety Inspection sticker for 2019. Nearly ready for the Extravaganza Cruise.

Harvey, I'd be glad to aid you in getting your boat maintenance done, but first I have to get my sailboats maintenance done and in the water (yes, a bad habit of owning and maintaining too many boats). Next I have to help my local friends with their C-Dorys and sailboats as well, then I will be free to fly to the left coast, but it might be fall by then... ;} _________________ Steve Baum

Gearing up for our first big trip.
Today I installed a CO detector, my wife is working on some make-shift curtains, we got some Tupperware tubs and drawers to help organize things... now I guess I'll vacuum and do some random cleaning or maybe add some extra chain to our anchor setup...
I'm so stupid excited for this vacation. |

The pressure washer started on the second pull and within half an hour, 98% of the dirt and moss blew right off.
Now for the inside. Only one wasp and no nests so far, but the inside of the back canvas had a life of it's own. I had to lay it in the driveway and use the pressure washer pressure to remove a disgusting layer of mold that had formed on the inside.
Not surprising as she sat idle last season. I'll run engines today. |

|
|
I fired up the Pocket Yacht this morning. The main engine ran like a top.
Then I went to fire up the kicker, my venerable, (1988) Evinrude 6hp.
The bloody throttle cable was frozen solid. I cursed, pulled and pried
to no avail. It wouldn't move.
Finally, I took it out of the motor. It is 38" long and it's one of those that
runs through the tiller arm, along with the wires for the cut off switch.
What a job.
The frosting on the cake was when I went to order a new one. Seems
It is a discontinued part....Oh CRAP! Me too....
After much digging around on the WEB, I finally found ...Get this.....
"The last one in stock".at a marine supply in Vermont. Natcherly it wasn't
cheap, but then neither is a new motor.
Now I get to stare at the boat for 3, or 4 days before the fight begins a new. |

That was my first OB Motor. They run forever.
Only problem was the pressurized gas tank. The bottoms would rust out and pump gas into the boat. |

Parked at home in the barn.
Just returned from the Sacramento Delta and SF Bay Extravaganza cruise. Towing charging system worked great. Now to get ready for the Friday Harbor CBGT.

Using the hard dinghy, scraped the growth from the ball and line that is my mooring. Also spliced in a new thimble (SS this time) for where the line from the anchor meets the upper chain. Now it's strong enough for me to launch this week in prep for shrimp opening. Nice to feel myself afloat even if just in the dinghy. |

After 7 months in the repair shop and storage yard I took my boat back (220 miles) to the beach house on the Cook Inlet.
No problems and it is going to get put back together for the summer fishing.
Last night I ordered on Amazon several "do-dads" to spruce it up like a 3 rod holder, and a new throw ring and line as well as a new depth finder/GPS.
The boat shop did a great job repairing the transom and other spots that needed fixing. Everything taken apart works perfectly after putting back together. $20k works wonders.
I had a good feeling towing it back as I had the 4 wheels packed before leaving last fall. _________________ On the HIGH TIDE-II, wife Carolyn and I.....Another summer fishing on the HIGH TIDE II in the Cook Inlet at Cape Ninilchik, Alaska.

Finally finished "re-installation" of the Air Head toilet. The boat was modified after the orirgal owner purchase it. The holding tank, pumps, hoses vent and toilet were removed. An "Air Head" toilet was installed. Unfortunately the marina that did the work took a few shortcuts, including using the switch and power cable that went to to original macerating pump to supply power to the small computer fan that was in the overhead fitting, where the original vent hose was installed. The overhead fitting was installed shoddily to a dorade then the vent hose come straight down, into the center of this tiny compartment. The existing fan required the power switch to the boat to be on at all times, as this is a composting toilet...
I took perfectly new Nicro solar fan (has a built in battery, so it runs 24/7) and modified it to fit the roof and the depth of the overhead. Then purchased a new 90 degree fitting from Air Head and made trim rigs from Starboard plastic to adapt the 90 degee fitting to the fan. Additionally, I installed a vent hose disconnect fitting to allow the upper part of the toilet to be removed for service, without having to unscrew the existing vent hose. |
