Just when Trump is bad mouthing Canada every time he opens his mouth it's so nice to see your post Harvey.

Posted our concern some days ago -- yes we must stop this mine. But Murray Edwards -CEO has poured many $ into Premier Clark's run for office-- this means Imperial Metals has a leg up here.

Just booked in to catch up on the CBPRGT -2017 invite from Ron & Anne. Yes 2016 was great rally of CBrats. Meander-"Ron and Anne" + other volunteers + Powell River Comm. were fantastic hosts. Harvey - thanks again for your radio support in difficult following seas in Malaspina Strait. !6'...

Ah-yes the quality of the bearing grease is one of the keys to bearing life. I also use marine grade, extreme pressure 'red' tacky grease. Your touch test on the tires as well as the bearing hubs is right on. However, I respectfully disagree with loading the whole axel hub cavity with grease as...

I know this subject has been discussed to some degree, but I thought I would share my take on preventive bearing maintenance. I have served a Machinist apprenticeship where the understanding of how critical bearing maintenance is was stressed and demonstrated, with many failed bearing repairs. I...

We holidayed in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) and they were so hospitable and friendly--we wish them safe and well

Harvey, Re: Heading home from the CBGTG in our 16' Blueback: We would like to convey how much we appreciated your strong voice on Channel 9 regarding our query to CCG on C-83a as to any changes in their weather report? CCG Victoria said: "no change - were we experiencing something different...

I am amazed that anyone would consider running their 16' Angler with 25 gals of fuel! I have 2 --6 gal. standard portable Atwood tanks that fit perfectly under the splash well. And we have been is some nasty sea conditions and they stayed put. We have got from 6-9 mpg so if you're conservative 2...

Ok so what do I have to do-- please give me an address and cost --etc.

You da man with a good eye for a beautiful little -sea going Dory. However, to change the subject- are you also the man "contact" for getting a C-Dory ball cap?

As I too own a 16 C-Dory and therefore curious- Were you out there in this at anytime and if so how did she handle?

Bob & Marty Thanks so much for your considered opinions here, as this is not a lightly held conversation -- or your opinions. We were too close to the edge this time, and I wish to consider your options with the serious considerations they deserve. My math tell me on a 16 ' a Permatrim may...

Thanks for weighing here and we all respect your knowledge from your years on the water. However, as I was there in those following waves I felt that I needed a keel- but of course that not on for our Dory's. Then more rudder effect was clearly needed and of course more throttle gives a rudder...

We went to the C-Brat gathering in Powell River which was our first C-Brat gathering and it was a terrific event. But this meant, living in Qualicum Beach, we had 45 miles of open Georgia Strait water and therefore picked a good weather window. However, on the way back we chose the east side of...

I would be interested in who has owned the same C-Dory the longest. I bought our 16 Angler "new" in March-1990 and we still own and enjoy her 26 years later. Geoff & Aline
