I just wanted to say thanks to all again for a wonderful Catalina trip. We left Friday morning on the Happy Hut after coffee and a perfect morning. We saw a whale n porpoises too, along with a coast guard helicopter up near MDR (fortunately not for us). I'm still having the drop to idle...

I'm revising my departure to Monday Morning from Marina Del Rey. Threat of t-storms n will have an extra day load up :)

Yes, the Happy Hut will be there. I'm going solo out of Huntington Harbor on Sunday. I'm not that good at potlatchs but maybe I can take a crack at potato duty. Let me know if anybody needs anything else. Looking forward to relaxing ...

I've missed this one every year! I'm putting it on the calendar this time. I'll be a first timer. I'll use the sign up sheet.

Hi all, I'm finally getting around to restoring my 88 cruiser. I'm wondering what can be done with the non skid on the fore deck. There appears to be material missing in the low areas of the diamond pattern so that black or dark blue is showing in the "lines". The rest of the non skid is...

Hi All, I'm finally getting around to finding a trailer for an '88 22ft cruiser. I've heard that used trailers are a dime a dozen. If I bought a used trailer, how do I fit the boat. Is this a difficult thing to do? I'm in the Southern California area if anyone has advice ... depending...

This will be my 1st C-Brats outing with my ol' boat! I'd like to do some diving if anyone's up for it. Also let me know if there are specific arrangements to make. I'll be heading out from Redondo ... Thanks, Thompson

A very big thanks to Janise and Tom for taking care of a lot of details and making the purchase a positive experience! And now that I've taken the plunge, I will begin with my ton of questions ... I'll be moving to boat up to the Redondo Marina after a weekend in Catalina. Thanks again to...

Is this boat still for sale?

Thanks to all who made us so welcome up in Santa Barbara. We had a great time. Now I have to start shopping for a boat! If Steve, Roger, or anyone else up there needs a dive partner give me a holler! Thanks again, Thompson & Susan

Thanks. See you in S.B.! Thompson

Hi all, I'm planning on buying a used boat sometime this year and I thought it would be great to talk to some current owners about their boats. I live in Redondo Beach where I lobster dive in the winter and pretend to fish in the summer. CDs look like great boats! If I could drop by the...
