A two-fer at the Gig Harbor public dock Sunday: Mar-T and Miss Lee. Nobody home, though.

Here's an alternative. When my Raytheon sounder got fried by a power surge, I figured there was some protective sacrificial component that needed to be replaced, and I was frustrated that the only option seemed to be factory refurb - no component level troubleshooting and repair. Then I found...

My sister-in-law has lived on Coronado for most of the 25 years my wife and I have been married, so I've done a lot of the 1/2, 3/4, and full day trips. I've generally found the full day the most fun and productive, but you can monitor the reports for a while before you go and see how they're...

Hi Peter Thanks for asking about me. I'm still lurking! I don't think I fished at all last year. Rebecca and I had a three week trip in Provence in September to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and vacation days were at a premium. This year, at least I've got two days scheduled out of LaPush...

I saw Naknek going through Gig Harbor on Highway 16, heading toward Bremerton. A long way from home!

I'm jumping in with a plug for Arabella's Landing, my friends' marina in Gig Harbor. It's a very nice, dog-friendly facility with Suzanne's bakery a block away. I'm not sure the bakery is as famous as your ultimate destination, but they've got pretty dangerous stuff all the same! Also...

Sorry to miss this, Roger. I was all excited until I realized I have to go to a board meeting of Kitsap Dog Parks. And we only have two a year -- what are the odds?!?

Peter of C-Dancer and I accepted Roger's invitation last year, and I can only add a hearty "second" to everything that Pat says.

Roger, I think that since you released so many fish earlier in the day, you're still entitled to claim that "I always get my limit"! I've been wondering when you'd be heading to Neah Bay this year.

Thanks for all the good advice. And I'm relieved that so far so one has said that this is a bad idea.

My '87 Johnson 70 hp outboard is cranking along nicely, with no indication of anything deadly about to happen. But I'm aware that things don't last forever, and have been dreading the inevitable repower time. While the idea of a new E-Tec has appeal on several levels, there's not a lot of cash...

The birds have been getting worse and worse at my mooring spot, leaving several really stubborn messes on my roof and canvas every day. Just this last Saturday I put together a PVC contraption that settles into the space between the hand rails and raised roof, with a 45 degree cantilevered...

Sorry I've been slow to respond, but I took a break from computers over the weekend. Send me a private message with your address, and I'll get it on the way.

I'd be happy to pass on my copy to anyone who hasn't read it.

I'm not sure why the photo didn't work. If you want to see it, copy the url and paste it into your browser location bar.

Went to the Gig Harbor city dock last night to pick up some friends for a picnic, and tied up in front of Can-Dory, a really pristine 84 Angler with a nice row of registration stickers all the way to 84. I didn't see the owners, but I would have like to ask them about the storage added on...

Yeah, that shanty worries me sometimes. Our standing joke is that if our friends were really considerate, they'd move closer to the mouth of the harbor so we wouldn't have to have that long, slow ride out through the no-wake zone. :D Fortunately, we don't have to do the bridge commute. Life is...

Music in the park would have been fun, Ken. Hope you had a good enough time that you'll be back in the area. Did you come into Gig Harbor? If so, you might have seen my boat sitting on an air dock at the big white house across the harbor from the city dock. The big white house belongs to my...

I just posted a few photos of the Neah Bay outing with Roger and Peter under Roger's original invitation, before I realized there was a report going on here. I think I have to give Peter a little break and accept some of the responsibility for losing the big one, since at the time that Roger...

Thanks again, Roger, for a great day fishing. It was the first time for Peter and I to be on the ocean in a C-Dory, and we couldn't have had a better introduction. C-Brats - if you ever have an opportunity to have an outing with Roger, don't pass it up! This is a class operation, from the...
