Sunday A day of moderately increasing wind and rain in Sea Isle City- People were still pulling their boats in late morning-just past high tide, now, (8:00 PM) and the tide has not spilled over the bulk head at the city marina -wind is about 30 MPH with a moderate steady rainfall-that is...

Just took the dog for a walk (11:00 PM) Wind blowing a steady 15 mph out of ENE- Ocean building pretty good ( ocean buoy reporting 15 foot seas)and the back bay still high (high tide was @ 7:30). Marina's pretty much empty now although at the Sea Isle City Municipal Marinia there are probably...

Boat 20 miles inland-cleaned and covered-EM has ordered evacuation of Sea Isle -as well as all other barrier islands in NJ-by Sunday @9.00 PM-the boat ramp @ 6:00 PM had a line of 14 trailers waiting to pull their boats- everyone acting civil. Wife at the supermarket and she said shelves...

Looks like the Jersey Shore-where I live-is in the cross hairs of Hurricane Sandy- pulled the boat today and will have it stored about 15 miles inland. Will watch Sandy's progress North and determine by Sunday whether I will leave town since home is a barrier island. Like to hear from folks...

The bracket that allows the leg to pivot is broke-need to buy a new leg-on the leg was the manufacturer-Kwikee Corp-looks like their out of business-leg is 30 1/2 inches long-anyone find a replacement or do I go to wood? Thanks Ken

Just finished an enjoyable cruise on the western part of the Erie Canal-sorry to report that the Newark Dinner is for sale-I know many a C- Brat has stopped for a meal which can best be "termed" a real bargain-if you google the Newark Dinner there is an interesting article about this dinner...

Want to find an inexpensive-but nice looking way-to cover my windows on my infrequent overnight trips-any ideas appreciated. Ken

Thanks guys-good ideas. Ken

Picked up at a yard sale a used Magna propane gas grill- works great- have the attachment that fits into my fishing pole holder which is located on the port and starboard side of my rails half way between the cabin and the engine-there are gas vents on both sides of the boat-3 or 3 1/2 feet...

I spent five or so days cruising the Western part of the Erie Canal (Newark west)-great cruise- thinking of doing it again but am considering doing the eastern part-however I am under the impression that the eastern part is less scenic - would be perfectly happy doing the Western part again but...

Would like to hear from C-Brats who are in the path of this storm-hopping to get local info on the storm- Thanks Ken

Just a FYI- waited a number of days to get a window of dry weather to do a quick project with 5200. Tube says you need seven days for it to fully cure- in Home Depot yesterday and saw 5200 in a red top tube that claims it fully dries/cures in 24 hours. Good news if it works. Ken

AKA the"things" that the straps go through to hold the batteries in place. The "thing" I am trying to avoid screwing to the floor of the back bilge-sorry for not being as clear as I should have been- I am sure your question made my post clearer for everyone else. Thanks Ken

A friend - boater- tells me he used stainless steel battery posts and used "5200" to attach them to his fiberglass floor and has held for a year- spoke with a sales person at West Marine who seems to think it would work- sounds simple- anyone ever "here tell" of anything like this as a way of...

Where my batteries are- between the gas tanks- found some screws that water got into the balsa core- essentially two screws that are used to hold the the plastic holder that the straps go through to hold the battery- drilled some pilot holes and pulled all the battery holder screws out and...

Hello all: Doing the Spring pre launch prep on my 22-moved my trim tabs(electric not hydraulic) and they made an unusually loud noise and one would not fully extend or fully retract. Hit both with liquid wrench and both work fine now - I have done nothing to them in the last 7 years I have...

I have done the Cruise from the C&D canal to Cape May- well marked, lots of freighter traffic, and not a lot of places to duck into. Not an interesting cruise-Light Houses and Salem Nuclear Plant may be the high lite of the bay-from Phila. I would stop at Chesepeake City on the CD canal- nice...

Good for you !!! Many people believe that the only dogs in shelters are "problem dogs".The truth of the matter is that most dogs in shelters lost their home for reasons not related to bad behavior-Many as the result of unemployment and the economy. Realize that you saved a life and got a...
