My window was stuck, but I did get it to open, however the glued on handle came unglued a made a beautiful dive overboard. Any ideas where to get a replacement and what to glue it with? I used 5200 and obviously that did not work on glass. Big bummer.

I can say that moorings are not free (unless you own waterfront property) and we pay an annual fee to the State Of Washington to keep our mooring. It is classified for our use. We rent to space from the State and we purchase and maintain the mooring. If someone is on our mooring and the wind...

I agree, I own a private mooring on San Juan Island and it is not marked. I have to ask boats to vacate a couple of times each year. I am in one of the more frequented harbors (Garrison Bay) so expect more traffic. Generally most boaters are respectful of the private moorings. Using a...

I spent a number of years moored at Elliott Bay Marina. It is a great spot and offers the best of Seattle, in Seattle. Enjoy the weekend.

i have the 3G Att iPhone with unlimited data plan. i was going to upgrade to the iPhone 5 but was told i had to give up my unlimited plan (which I loath to do). Any one know about jail breaking a 3G? I want to use it as a hot spot with an ipad and smart TV.

You are all espousing the best of the brands, and here I sit still trying to figure out how a boat called and "Angler" has filled the gunnels with foam and no way to get the backing plates installed without cutting a big hole, gouging out the foam and being left with an ugly mess. Same goes for...

There are more rings on the cliff wall to the left (west) of the falls. I have not submerged my bulk, but even in summer I doubt I would spend a lot of time in the water. I have seen teenagers jumping from the cliff into the briny deep. I have heard that the lake above the falls in good...

Have you thought of going across the street to the new Cask and Schooner? It is the old pub, but has new owners. It is totally redone and offers some very good fare.

Nice photos. Up here in the San Juan's that would be a hefty fine for being that close to the whales. We are required to stay at least 100 yards from any whale. In year's past we would sail out and have the whales swim around us (we never sailed into them) and that too has been declared...

I have a 16 Angler in the San Juan's and have been out in rough weather (places I should not have been). Going slow and being mindful of waves, etc. I would trust the boat in most conditions, however, offshore in large waves .. not so much. As mentioned, getting turned sideways to a wave would...

J&D Equipment repair in Burlington does a lot of work for me at the plant. Good and reasonable. 360-661-3214

I appear to be the odd man out. My 16 came with a Suzuki 60hp and I do not perceive any problems at all. The weight seems to balance nicely and I quite often carry 4 adults with 19 gallons of fuel. It tops out around 32 mph with just me on board and flat water. With the wife and I it runs...

I am currently have a Plasteak (plastic teak) cockpit sole on my sailboat. I have seen this on a couple of boats now and am impressed with the look. I am considering doing the cockpit in the 16 Angler as well. The price comes down if more than one boat is done at the same time. Building the...

I was stopped by the Coasties this weekend as I headed out in my 16 Angler. I was stopped last year and they boarded and I had no violations. This year they told me that I needed a throwable life ring because I am 16 feet. Last year I was told that I did not need one because I was 16 feet...

I believe "Goof Off" works on rust
