Thanks Tom. That sounds like a great feature. We have the C-80 sitting in our garage right now waiting for the boat. Jeff and Julie

Chris, Thanks for your post. When we did this last summer we used it just like you said. We anchored out and then used the anchor buddy to pull our boat into shore and then "sling shot" it back out while we were on the beach picnicking. It worked really well. Julie

Thanks everyone for the great advice. We will only be moorng for a night at a time kind of thing. Sounds like a rope should be just fine for that. We may attach some type of a clip once we get more experienced. Jeff and Julie

Roger, Thanks. That looks very interesting. I guess I won't know what kind of set up the mooring buoy has until I get there. Joe, Have you ever had any problems with the ring wearing through the rope? So, would you have about 15 feet or so of rope between you and the buoy? I think I may have...

Okay, I feel that I am asking a ridiculous question but I have no idea how you hook up to a mooring buoy? Do you use a rope, a chain? Do you use your anchor set up or something else?? TIA for any help! Julie

We have 2 young boys, 7 and 4, and we really like the Olympia area. There is a really great park right by the downtown marina areas that our kids love to play at. There is the farmers market right there also and that is fun. Julie

Steve, We store our boat right across the waterway from the museum of glass. It really is a neat area down there with lots to see and do. We should be picking up our Kingfisher this weekend. Maybe we will run into you guys out and about on the sound this summer during your trip. Jeff and Julie

Steve, I will second Quartermaster. We usually set our crab pots over there and have been very successful. Julie

Nick, Thanks for the info on the Cabelas bags. We have several of the roll type style and I agree with you that they are not as easy to acess the stuff. I really like them for things we want to stay completely dry but may not have to access as much. I think we may pick up one of the Cabelas...

Great pictures Joe. Your boys sure are growing up fast. Jeff and Julie

Thanks Gary for the link!!

Thanks Gary! I am looking around for that Mr. Downrigger site but haven't found it yet. I will keep looking! Jeff was going to go to the Salmon University seminar to learn about downriggers but had to cancel after we realized that our son's birthday is on that weekend! :D Our primary fishing...

Thanks Tom! We will check out that Mr. Downrigger site. We would love to have you out to fish with us. We will let you know after we get a downrigger installed. Until then, I guess we will just mooch or jig. We have been toying with the idea of joining PSA. We will have to check the...

Thanks Ken! We can certainly appreciate good sarcasm and we like to give it as well!! We still love C-Dorys and are glad we are not being excommunicated from the group!! We did read through that link and agree with you that there is really some good info in there. Thanks again! Jeff and Julie

Ken, I like your joke, at least, I am hoping my humor is inline with yours!! :D Julie

Thanks Pat, Ken and Larry. This is exactly the information we were looking for. We are going to look at West Marine for the Nor'Westing magazine also. Jeff and Julie

Does anyone know of a good internet site to get distances between ports for the Puget Sound area? Thanks, Jeff and Julie
