Mustang survival suit is a good suit but its not rated for 50 degree water. Cold water gear is a drysuit with maybe a bunny suit underneath. They both take time to put on and the mustang survival is good in cold air but the dry suit is good in cold water. Both are a pita to wear while...

Some of these ditch bags are going to be suitcase sized! Be prepared is a good motto. But no one has asked about how you are going to stay warm. Wa water is around the same as our water but survival time without protective gear on is probably only a couple of hours. What you going to put on...

We are having a surfing contest in 15 ft surf at a beach break. No one can get outside so the competitors are riding white water. The winner of lasts years event said he felt so lucky because he got to go out and ride white water for three heats. Today the swell and wind are going down...

Joel, I would like to order one of your remaining sets. Please send payment info and if possible paypal is easy for me. Thanks Jeff

I don't understand why you need to fill the fuel tanks before winter storage. Last winter I wish my tanks were full due to the fuel price increase. After my carbs are drained I shut off the fuel tanks and leave them pretty much empty. However I can take the boat out year round weather...

I think every boater should have a form of basic boating education, which would include safety equipment both required and not required, ramp etiquette, effects of weather on water, basic rules of the road where we talk about right of way and channel markers, vessel priorities, anchoring and...

Think I will check out my system. I won't worry about it till it goes bad since I have twins.javascript:emoticon(':lol:')

Yaa DD. Bust em and get lots of pics. I am sure you would get an award from the aux for environmental safety and have a great slide show for aux meetings. Personally I would just go back to sleep and count sheep again. I am glad people have fun. It was not in broad daylight it was in...

Hi Jack. I think our hull design is your speed limiter. No lift from pulling only pushing. Our bow will tend to catch and wander, as you observe, and at higher speeds I think it will be worse. Your whaler generated lift as speed increased therefore is was much better at following. I never...

Why do you want to tow a vessel over 8 knots? I have towed at planing speeds training but I was towing a cg vessel with a cg vessel and all equipment was up to task. Stresses are a lot greater and you need someone tending the helm on the towed vessel as well as your own stern watch. I was...

I hope your wife is ok!! Now that you know about it, don't use it as a step. Mine also started to buckle and so I lift myself up stepping lightly on the fender, but most of my weight is on the fender base step or I use a ladder. I also tell others not to step on it. I have not...

Around here fishing regulations and restrictions are going to have a greater impact. It looks like our area won't have a salmon season, and our main bottom fishing area may become off limits due to some marine protection zone. So that means my fishing boat will only get used as a sight seeing...

I have a benelli shotgun. It is a stainless model. Nice gun but I have not had to shot anything with it on the boat. I bought the stainless model to combat our moist conditions.

I have kissed Neptunes bellie. A class act and an event to not miss. Ah the sweet memories!

Our local paper has listed for sale a 16' c-dory 1983 with 25 yamaha for 5900 or part trade for a 12' skiff. 1 541 412-8243 Seems like a decent price for someone interested in a 16.

I have used gallons per time unit (hour) and consider this measurement my way for justifying how good this vessel is on fuel. Almost as good as smiles per hour. If I go fishing for the day and it only took 6 gallons to stay out 6 hours I can determine my cost for time usage. To improve my...

It is like a lake on the Columbia when it is not windy. Lots of corners to hide, lots of fish when they are running and boat ramps and facilities up and down the river. Best of all two hours puts you in new water wether by the ocean or in Washington Idaho area. Jeff

Hi Warren I am not into road forecasts, but the marine forecast for Sunday is west wind becoming nw, slight chance of showers. To me this is a clearing period. We probably won't have snow, but then I-5 should be ok. I would stay on 5. If you do decide to hit 101 find another way besides 199...

Highway 101 is really slow, and depending on where you cross to 101 it will add hours to your trip. From Crescent City to Seaside Or, it takes around 4 additional hours plus additional time for your tow. From Crescent City to San Fran it is 7 hours. We had snow last Sun and Monday but the...
