    Gig Harbor Gathering

    Hey Larry, you just missed some excitement at Arabellas. One of those nice boats burned up. We had just started off on a little afternoon stroll when we noticed smoke coming from the general direction of the marina. As we were trying to figure out just where it was coming from, and if we needed...

    One of those exciting moments that turned out to be a dog fish.

    Gig Harbor Gathering

    I met up with Lyle and Larry yesterday for a nice day on the lovely Helen O. We came back empty handed, but Lyle had one nice fish on. It escaped on the final run, and when the line was retrieved, Lyle discovered that the HOOK HAD BROKEN! He was trolling with a whole herring on a Deep Six. I had...

    Ski/tow bar for 16 footer

    Finally here are some pictures. Looks like the bollard ends up into the pit somewhat, with the rail over the outboard.

    Gig Harbor Gathering

    There is a launch at Pt. Defiance, next to the ferry landing, and there is a lot of parking. I have no clue about fees, or about the security issue. You might check with Pt Defiance boat house. There's a phone number in the link above that has the fishing reports. David S

    Gig Harbor Gathering

    Thanks for the offer. I'm not generally available on Sunday mornings - I play a little sax in the worship band at Harbor Covenant Church - but I'm set to take some time off on Monday or Tuesday, whatever weather allows, whoever has the most room. Or Sunday afternoon. Is the winter blackmouth...

    Gig Harbor Gathering

    Larry It's great to hear of your memories of a trip twenty years ago. Most of that will still work. Suzanne's deli is right next to Arabella's, for a pastry sort of breakfast, and it's not too much of a walk to Kelly's for a huge omelette. Just a block or so beyond Kelly's is the old local...

    Ski/tow bar for 16 footer

    I don't think it could be broken down for shipping. I suppose I could just saw it in half, to be welded back together on your end. I'll try to get a photo soon. It's dark by the time I get home, but maybe I can get one in the morning. Then I'll just have to figure out how to post it!

    Ski/tow bar for 16 footer

    I used to have a 16' Angler (acquired last spring by TrebleHook Tim) which in a former lifetime was a harbor patrol boat in Emeryville, CA. When I got it, it had a sturdy tow bar attached to the stern and gunwales to elevate the lines to prevent any conflicts with the outboard. I keep thinking...
