    Tofino - open pit copper mine?

    Posted our concern some days ago -- yes we must stop this mine. But Murray Edwards -CEO has poured many $ into Premier Clark's run for office-- this means Imperial Metals has a leg up here.

    Trailer wheel bearings

    Ah-yes the quality of the bearing grease is one of the keys to bearing life. I also use marine grade, extreme pressure 'red' tacky grease. Your touch test on the tires as well as the bearing hubs is right on. However, I respectfully disagree with loading the whole axel hub cavity with grease as...

    Trailer wheel bearings

    I know this subject has been discussed to some degree, but I thought I would share my take on preventive bearing maintenance. I have served a Machinist apprenticeship where the understanding of how critical bearing maintenance is was stressed and demonstrated, with many failed bearing repairs. I...

    Harvey, Re: Heading home from the CBGTG in our 16' Blueback: We would like to convey how much we appreciated your strong voice on Channel 9 regarding our query to CCG on C-83a as to any changes in their weather report? CCG Victoria said: "no change - were we experiencing something different...

    rigging my Angler 16

    I am amazed that anyone would consider running their 16' Angler with 25 gals of fuel! I have 2 --6 gal. standard portable Atwood tanks that fit perfectly under the splash well. And we have been is some nasty sea conditions and they stayed put. We have got from 6-9 mpg so if you're conservative 2...

    C-Dory 16 handling concerns

    Bob & Marty Thanks so much for your considered opinions here, as this is not a lightly held conversation -- or your opinions. We were too close to the edge this time, and I wish to consider your options with the serious considerations they deserve. My math tell me on a 16 ' a Permatrim may...

    C-Dory 16 handling concerns

    Thanks for weighing here and we all respect your knowledge from your years on the water. However, as I was there in those following waves I felt that I needed a keel- but of course that not on for our Dory's. Then more rudder effect was clearly needed and of course more throttle gives a rudder...

    C-Dory 16 handling concerns

    We went to the C-Brat gathering in Powell River which was our first C-Brat gathering and it was a terrific event. But this meant, living in Qualicum Beach, we had 45 miles of open Georgia Strait water and therefore picked a good weather window. However, on the way back we chose the east side of...

    Calling all C- Brat historians !

    I would be interested in who has owned the same C-Dory the longest. I bought our 16 Angler "new" in March-1990 and we still own and enjoy her 26 years later. Geoff & Aline

    08/12 - 08/14 - Powell River BC, Canadian CBGT

    We hit an anabatic wind pushed by a flood tide out of Jervis Inlet and believe you me-- in a 16' Angler it was no fun running -err-surfing down the odd 5' footer that pushed us sideways against a full helm in the opposite direction. I bought the Blueback new in 1990 and have run rivers and open...
