This story bothers me; I was mulling it over in the car while driving over the weekend. I've been to Anderson Island (rental cabin), and like it a lot. We have friends whose family pioneered there 100 years ago. I'm familiar with the dock, but not with the club or politics there. Anyhoo...

Da Nag: Sheeeesh! It took long enough to fix it! Slacking off again?? (Personally folks, I think we're payin' him too much . . . I suggest a 20% pay cut. Let's see, 20% of $XX,XXX = . . . . ? ) :roll: iggy

This is a most interesting thread. I sincerely hope it can continue logically and rationally. We need to hear everyone's well-thought opinions, along with the facts as can best be determined. I am still a CD wannabe, so this thread is of immense concern to me. Over the past six months I have...

Flatpick tenor? Dixieland? Frailing old-time? Bluegrass? e.g.

OK, you guys are going to have to bear with me while I establish the protocol for this new honored position. I feel like I am now indebted to Sawdust, and owe him a shot of single malt. I wasn't at Poulsbo, and he isn't signed up for Cathlamet, so we'll have to keep this in mind for the near...

Thank you for the new title. I am truly humbled. I will seek to treat this honor with the respect it deserves, and will carry out my duties to the best of my abilities. Now, we could start a new discussion of how you guys are funneling all this hidden wealth (cleverly laundered of course) to...

This thread just goes on, and on, and on, . . . and on. So I have to apologize in advance for yet another. But I'll say this anyway. For any given topic there are different levels of inquiry. For example, if I'm considering going on a one-week vacation I might want to compare the pros and cons...

Couldn't agree more! (And I don't even have a boat yet . . . !) Seriously, how do we put a price on the value of this site? Where else could I join one day, PM a local owner the same night, and be out on a 22C before noon the next day? Where else could I attend a dinner with 15-20 other...

Another note -- Check to be sure your unit will accept an external antenna input! Garmin sells an external antenna for about $70-$90. There is a similar unit available for about $25-$30 (I'll post the mfg later; it's out in the car). I've read specs that indicate the dB pickup exceeds the...

I had a bare-bones Garmin 12 for years. Last year bought a GPS Map76CS. We're absolutely delighted with it. Superb color screen, indoors or out, sunshine or not. 115 MB memory. S = sensors. Compass is so-so, uses batteries but can be turned off. Barometer/altimeter is excellent - VERY precise...

Something like you suggest would indeed be helpful. (I'm a wannabee at this point). I have noticed that some (many!!) of the Marketplace Reference messages have the original ad edited (i.e. replaced) by the owner to state: "This boat has been sold". From the owner's point of view this makes...

Very interesting article. It's kind of easy to read between the lines re the 'paraphrasing' at times. It's surprising how we 'mostly' rely on what we read in the papers when we don't know any better. My dad was in law enforcement, and as kids we often read about 'situations' he was involved in...

Obviously this can be a much larger problem on bigger boats. PassageMaker Magazine just had an article this month on a marina invasion of rats, apparently due to nearby construction. The author spent a great deal of time solving his problem, including gnawed teak floor board grids in the...

Go past the opening of 'what' river . . . ?

Ken got home before I did! Great gathering! It was nice to meet people I've been reading about on the forums. No boat yet, but several offers for rides, and we'll be at Cathlamet as well. We had about 18-20 people there - good food, good company. Thanks, Ken! Ed Gallaher

Ken - Ed and Janet Gallaher here. Newbies (noboatyet), new at this sign-up business. I've posted before, but did not quite understand the sign-up procedure. We're planning to come tonight, but want to make sure there will be enough seats. I think you (partly) moved the date from Mar 17 to Mar...

I left for a trip on March 4 so didn't have a chance to respond to all these replies. That's just the sort of information I was looking for (and, of course, expected to receive . . . ) :) Thanks, e.g.

Just back from Spring Training (Phoenix) - catching up on messages. From Portland we are beginning long-term plans for Inside Passage. When I say long term I mean we are just taking the USPS intro course and have yet to buy a boat (any boat). This has led me to the C-Dory as an ideal 'trainer"...

Oops! Posted this under fishing instead of general chat group. :oops: Could one of the helpful new moderators please put this thread where it belongs? I don't know how to do it. :? Thanks, e.g.

Anyone with CD-22 and Explorer? 6-cyl 4WD with towing package; 1996 low mileage about 80K, excellent condition. Rated at 5000 lb total tow limit. I'm aware of the limitations, weights, brake issues etc discussed elsewhere, including TOTAL weight incl passengers and gear in the vehicle. ...
