Just for the fun of it....... This is the original C-Brats logo decal. I own the copyright to this and any C-Brat can use it. See my photo album Nancy H.

.......When in Canada and using the Canadian mode on the VHF........ Channel 66A will be at 1 watt power. This is because you will most likely be right near the marina, and don't need to broadcast to everyone within 25 miles. .......When using the USA mode..................... Channel 66A...

It is common for cruisers in remote areas to dump all food scraps over the side. The ocean quickly consumes food scraps. Fish are from the ocean so returning the scraps is a natural thing. Garbage treatment changes with location. At a full service marina, all garbage can go up to the...

Bob, See this map of Supercharger locations worldwide. There are Superchargers along I-10. I don't think they have large signs like the gas stations. The Tesla cars show where the stations are on the screen in the car...

localboy, Yes, you are right. The same yard that built CHB also built the other brands, or the next boatyard over borrowed the mold to build the other brand name. 'Puget Trawler' was a lesser known brand, but the hull is the same as CHB, and Ocean Alexander in the late 70's and early 80's...

Not my previous boat. Just another old Taiwan built trawler. My previous boat is in Portland, safe and being cared for. I was there today, and my boat was undamaged, with no smell of smoke. I didn't get very close, but the end of the building was damaged, the marina staff said about 5...

Thanks for the photos of the fire victim. That boat hull looks a lot like the Taiwan built 37ft Puget Trawler that I owned. Likely 40 years old. I would suspect that it was an electrical fire, possibly from the AC inlet/plug. Just a guess.

Scary as all get out! My Ranger Tug is in the center boathouse (multiple slips in one house) in that row of three. I rented that slip for a month till i can haul out. I came home from errands, and Nancy said, look at the news. I called the marina and my section of the boat house was not...

I watched a 60 footer dock in strong current and wind. the IPS and joystick brought the boat to the dock, almost touching, and the helmsman left the flybridge, climbed down, and tied up the boat. The engines and IPS drives kept the boat exactly in place while the dock lines were attached...

We have now spent the last 9 weeks cruising and living aboard our 2014 Ranger Tug 27 (the classic model). We are now in Refuge Cove, Desolation Sound, BC, traveling south to follow summer. This has been our first long cruise on this boat and we will stay out in the Gulf Islands until the...

Byrdman, Congratulations on your first ride in your new boat.
