Boy - the Brats are slow today - It's been 90 minutes, and no offers yet . . . I'm shocked! :shock: Shocked, I say.

http://www.officeclips.com/99.html Check out "Little boat -- big boat". When you're around a big boat you need to be alert. (We need more lerts). :lol:

What? You don't want our bank account and SS#'s? That would be much quicker and cheaper, wouldn't it? Maybe Tyboo or -Nag could add these fields to our profiles for convenience. Look at all the postage you'd be saving . . . iggy :P

Try AIG -- They'll insure anything! :roll: :shock: :x iggy

It's true! When I was in junior high in Seattle, Thornton Creek ran through a nearby golf course (now Nathan Hale H.S.). Salmon migrated up and spawned there. A friend and I waded into the creek (18"-24" deep), waited until a fish swam between our legs, pushed it to the bottom with both hands...

Along these lines, does anyone have experience boat-swapping with other experienced owners? For example, rather than towing one boat from Puget Sound to Chesapeake Bay, and another from CB to PS, the owners could fly cross-country, swap cars and boats, and optimize their time, energy, and money...

I've heard pros and cons, but this is something I'd be interested in. I live in Portland, but have family in Seattle and am up there often. Being on a trailer would provide a lot of flexibility. Finances not so good at the moment, but perhaps possible late summer/early fall. My bro successfully...

:oops: Oops! It never even occurred to me when I posted this that I needed to pay attention to the category; I just wrote it and pushed 'submit'. It should be in 'That's Life' -- I'm not sure it can be moved (or if it really matters all that much), but that's obviously where I should have...

This quote (T.R. Bauer; from the recent AED thread) reminded me of a classic PBS television movie from the early 70's. It disappeared for many years, but has recently been issued again on DVD and is available from NetFlix. (We bought our own copy from Amazon.) The title is Steambath, starring...

Wow! 37 minutes! You are good! John Frazey was a lot slower than this. It took about 8 hours for him to offer me a ride! Of course, I posted my message at midnight Friday night, and we were out on the water before noon Saturday (Feb in Oregon!), so I guess I can't complain . . . iggy

Jamohl - Thanks for touching bases with the C-Brats -- it's very nice to 'close the loop' and hear back from you. For those of us who have been there, I can provide a little information as to how we worked through this challenging experience. First, as painful as it is, we all realize that...

A couple of years ago, B~C organized a mid-winter Gathering on land at Jantzen Beach in North Portland. About 20 people showed up just to shoot the breeze and visit. I ended up sitting next to Caty, and got to talk about the new (replacement) boat that had just been delivered a few weeks...

You were right about the submarines! They used to test them there, and they still test them there, strange as it may seem. I wondered why they would have a state park named Farragut -- hmmmm, wasn't he one of those admirals or something . . . ? Turns out the area was the largest Navy basic...

A further question about the transom layout - this is not a criticism; at this point I think I'd prefer a large single and kicker anyway -- Where is the kicker designed to be mounted? Would this be on a bracket off the rear of the transom? I do like the idea of more storage in the rear, and in...

Does this boat allow for dual main engines? Or a kicker? I can't imagine not (at least the kicker), but it looks like a narrow engine well to me, similar to the early CD-22's. iggy

Oops - I re-read your original post and you did say "on the planet". Sorry! :oops:

A good friend of mine graduated from Stephens Inst. Technology (Ph.D. Physics; cryogenics), and I met him when he started at NASA Ames at Moffet Field in Mt. View, CA ~ 1978. He designed an ultra-low temp device for the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) --they hoped IRAS would last 3-4...

Byrd - we met only briefly at the Factory Party in '07, but it was great to connect the messages with a real person. I too was hoping you were talking about a small kicker, as opposed to a whack on the side of the head. I was amazed at the 'tude that came through in your message, although from...

Given that it's not April Fool's Day, Tom, are you serious? Personal experience? (Of course we can be fools on other days as well . . . just ask my wife.) iggy

Not only is he coming to the next gathering, his boat IS the next gathering! They'll lift all the C-Dories up on deck with davits, so no dock reservations will be needed. And it sounds like the chef will be on board as well, so no potluck will be necessary.
