Merv & Kathy! I'd miss you if you didn't appear at C-Brats event from time to time. Maybe you could arrange to accidentally be cruising at the same time and place as the bunch of us.

On the other hand, I'm eager to see what you do to the Rosborough! Kingfisher is certainly one of the more luxurious C-Dory 22s around, so we're all expecting great things to appear aboard this new, larger vessel!

David,
we have some but you will have to promise to turn a wooden hub of a different size (Btw the Rhody one will not be sold..) or we make you wait until we have an album Twisted Evil

Merv, I'll have to check out the helm on the replacement boat and see how to do one.

What a great weekend, first dinner at my place with 8 cbrats. I love to cook for people and no one died this time. Then a great show with daves kid stilling the show. We also really liked the kid that played billy, he is a really good actor.

Sunday, despite battery trouble and a frodian slip, we made it to the ramp a little late but was able to catch up with the pack. No wake if you are going fast enough Wink

and I could dave giving the tour on the vhf so I knew where the group was. I realy liked that we got to snohomish before the tide started to fall. I was able to motor up river to crab bar, which is a local beach launch for jet boats. Thats the highest in this river a cdory 22 will get with out buying new props. I just wanted to see the look on those jet boat guys when I did a u turn.

now for that battery I want to put a on board charger in the boat. What i cant decide is where to put the charger. I want to park the boat in the yard and plug in the charger. So some where in the cockpit would be idea but i dont want to have the plug expossed to the elements and salt. so my question is how have others done this and what are my options. can I go with shore power and a charger? do they make combo units? all the shore power pulls I have seen are not going to plug into the house, right? can I have and do they make a power cord that will go from the house to the boat?

last buy not lest patty lies!!! its all lies!! and susan in limited to one glass of wine when we have guest. Cocktail

Sounds like a great cruise, sorry we missed this one.

Hey Tom, I'm going to do a "shore power" install soon. Look at Sneaks album for ideas. I'm going to do ours just like Don did on Sneaks. I just purchased a Guest battery charger on Ebay.

Dave and Fellow C-Brats ,

Had a nice time - sorry my "social" half couldn't make it, but it was good experience for me going solo in the boat. I left the convoy after we came back down from the estuary - wanted to get out and fish a bit in the sound. Joe - thanks for helping me tie up at the dock - almost made a grand entrance by falling on my &^$& when I jumped onto the dock, somehow I stayed on my feet. Always nervous about docking - I usually make Shan do it. Thats why I was waiting out in the river for everyone.

I'll have to admit, as the one boat on the cruise without heat - my feet are still numb.

Anyhow - thanks for the invite.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Gang!!!

Crazy Frazey coming at you live!!! Didn't make it in person but was thinking about you all this weekend.

A friend and I left Portland at 8:00 am and arrived at Olympia to check out a launch spot then later we hit two spots in Tacoma then Seattle and ended at Anacortes for Saturday night.

On Sunday 8:00 am we boarded the ferry to Guemes to drive around the island and was able to wave at David as he was in line to leave the island for the trip. We later checked out both marinas in Anacortes and then the park at the end (really liked that one).

We later headed to Bellingham for the afternoon and then back home to Portland that evening home around 6:30 pm.

Sure was nice weather and wish we were out on the water...pure glass at Anacortes.

Hope everyone had fun and look forward to making the next gathering!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

John
