John & Laurie, Thanks for putting this glorious event together once again. Last year’s get-together was fantastic with the added extra stops at Sausalito and Benicia, both not to be missed. Now I see you’ve added Petaluma back in after years of avoiding it due to various marina conditions, also...

Hi Mike, Steve here, I registered with your new site many months ago. I’m able to do everything (I think). But I get this message when I sign off and I don’t know how to correct it. It says something to the effect “Oops, you must accept the cookies to use this site…” Steve Swanberg

Has anyone tried raising the motor a bit?But not too high as to reduce the cooling water flow through the engine?

I agree. Agreed value is a no-brainer for the insurance company, you can state nearly any value, you will pay for the policy accordingly. It is the way I did it. I am with Progressive because the islands off my coast here in Southern California are covered in the distance from the coast. Read...

Ping Pong Scuppers (1 of 2)

Ping Pong Scuppers (2 of 2)

Right after I brought my 2003 CD25 home in December 2002, I looked at those rubber flaps for scuppers and said to myself those won’t work for long if at all. I found nearly the identical size frame and actually hole pattern in a ping pong ball type scupper, put them on, they seem to have worked...

Wow Colby, it’s sad to hear all of your effort that you go through annually/whenever to keep your calipers and boot pins happy. I’m still stuck on why there’s so much heat and/or vibration on those right side brakes. I don’t know what a normal running temperature would be. L So with new SS(?)...

It was another great Extravaganza. I would like to add, and I think it reflects the thoughts of all the veterans of this event, John and Laurie have done a tremendous job of taking over the event that Jim Gibson likewise did a fine job for 20 years. The hosts of these events do much more than...

Thanks for the heads-up John and Steve. You don’t realize how important a bridge is until you have to work around it. I don’t recall taking the 101 all the way, except maybe by car a long time ago, is there a problem with that, seems shorter than working the way back to the I-5.

Congrats, you’re going to love it, and the miss’s will grow to love it as well.

Steve & Carmen will do the macaroni salad (fresh).

I routinely have the same problem with my Yamaha 80’s. Sometimes it’s a tiny spider nest (web), but mostly it’s bits of debris that get clogged at the little plastic exit port of the housing (the tell-tail pee port). That port connects to a small rubber tubing that connects to the engine. Don’t...

Sitka is my favorite as well (so far). I went there on a Princess Cruise ship among other stops. My first encounter to love that place is when an American Bald Eagle landed on the bow of the ship as we were beginning to debark. Jay, maybe someday I’ll be able to take my own boat and stay longer...
