Might consider Coon Island or ?? |

Hey Ray, my electronics are back at the Raymarine factory getting fixed or replaced. When I get them back in a few weeks I'm planning on some cruising/fishing. Not sure I can keep up with you now that you've got that hotrod Suzuki powerplant. _________________ Larry S

Crabbing sounds fun...I gots to wait a few weeks before I have time to partake in any boating fun. Classes wrapping up, sports, chores, my list of excuses is long and agonizing.
How are you hauling your boat down? is it legal to tow a C-Dory with something other than a Dodge? _________________ Ken

As long as I stay out of Washington I think I'm safe
At least my checkbook will be. But that's cause the wife holds on to it tightly anytime I am within 100 miles of Englunds Marine . |

Mr. Fisherman et al, Regarding Quick C.R. Cruises, I want to share recent unfortunate experiences I've had. Since '89 I've launched Adeline @ Marine Park for overnighters. Never had a problem leaving my rig there multiple nights. However, once in Feb. and again last week it was broken into and prowled. Damage done. Items taken. I need to find a new ramp from which to launch. Would fellow C-Brats share their experiences @ the C.R. ramps they use? Thanks, Pete [/b] |

Sorry to hear about your break in problems.... ARRRG....some people. I've launced at Ridgfield if I'm not overnighting, don't try it durring salmon season as there is no parking to speak of. If we're overnighting we launch at Kalama and have had no problems |

I have used the launch at Camas-Washougl for years and never had a problem or even heard of any problems there. It has two ramps with docks and good parking. It is just off hwy14 between Camas and Washougl. _________________

Try the Sheriff's Ramp at 35th & Marine Drive (in Portland) - or the best bet at CAMAS/Washougal. |

HI all, Thanks for your thoughts. I have used Kalama w/o a problem, but it's a drive. Nice for springer fishing though. Ridgefield is closer but does'nt allow overnighting. I guess it's either the Gleason Ramp(River Patrol) or Camas/Wash.. I honestly can't remember the last time I went out for a day cruise, so this is a big issue for me. Aside from the security aspect,alot of ramps are day-use only and some, such as Squalicum(Bellingham), have time limits for parking. Maybe this is a subject that deserves it's own thread, "secure ramps w/ long term parking" or something like that. Regards, Pete |

Folks, sorry fer not checking in sooner.
I didn't like the 50 knot South wind forecast so I stayed home.
I really need to get out. I don't think
I can get through the Christmas shopping season without a lil boat time.
I have not taken any overnight trips except the Cathlamet trip. I really liked Cathlamette and I will be back there again.
In this area I have been warned about Freds Marina and the St. Johns bridge ramp. I would be hard pressed to feel safe about parking my rig at those spots due to the amount of negative reports I have received. I like the Scapoose ramp but I don't know if they allow overnight parking. I use the ramps on Suavie Island but I know they do not allow overnight parking so those are out.
I have parked overnight in the Garabaldi parking lot without issue as well as Warrenton and South Beach Marina and Depoe Bay. I think sooner or later bad luck will find your parked rig. It is best to not leave anything of value in plain sight and have a good alarm system. I have found, however, that these things only help keep honest people honest and if a criminal is making his living stealing your stuff your stuff is going away. I have had more breakins in front of my house than anywhere else. So I guess you should park somewhere besides in front of my house... |
