I was wondering about the minus tide as we head to the Anacortes gathering. If we go through at "0" tide will we be OK? We have never gone though LaConner and only have the Wagoner to guide us. Any local knowledge you can give us? If we can make it, would it be better to hit the slack tide...

Beer and wine for the fridge.................. Nancy

They say Noxon7 is the absolute best for brass - although I haven't tried it yet as I cannot find it locally........... Nancy

Lots of oxidation on the brass, nothing on the hull. Nancy

Congrats on the new tug! You have lots of great boating ahead of you. Looking forward to hearing more about your tug.

Pauley I am sure there are others who know a lot more about this than I do - which is nothing! What I DO know, is the factory usually displays the R25 with a Kayak on top. If I recall, they have a nifty way of getting it off and on too. You may want to e-mail or call them and ask them what...

I would like to see that in action! Are you going to be at Anacortes? Nancy

I too cannot say enough about the customer service at Ranger Tug. They have gone above and beyond on more than one occasion. Thanks Andrew and Jeff! Nancy

Come to the Anacortes gathering and you can see a bunch of us! It would be great to actually meet you.

Thanks for all you work on this Warren. What is the procedure for getting a slip assignment? Do we call in just prior to arrival? Oh-there are 3 of us. We have a teenage daughter who loves boating. She is a lot of fun - if we can get her away from the computer. Does the marina have WiFi...

Us Ranger folks have been welcomed onto the c-brats site. I am not aware of any other sites, and I am betting you couldn't fine a better one. Although many of us could participate more, you can still get a wealth of information. We have appreciated their willingness to include us. Nancy

You are in our prayers. Glad to hear you had such a great response to your emergency. Keep us all posted. Nancy

Thank you for all the great tips. As always, the c-brats are so great to answere even my simplest questions. Appreciate it and look forward to seeing many of you on the water and at the Anacortes gathering. Nancy

We have never rafted before, and are thinking we need to know more about it as we cruise in the San Juan's this summer. Any tips on the do's and don'ts? Are there any rules about when and where? Has anyone had any trouble with boats that have rafted to them? Thanks Nancy

Thanks Sarge- We miss having you next-door. Think I saw your new boat being lifted into dry storage. The bottom looks great! Can't wait to see the rest of it...... Nancy

OK, So we are going to head out on our tug for a week, for the first time, in June. So, on those mornings when we are not at a dock with electricity, and I cannot use our machine to make espresso/mochas, how do I get good coffee - that I can add milk and chocolate to!!!!! Is the cone and...

What a timely topic! Wednesday, 4/2, we left Edmonds heading North. About 15 minutes into the trip, we were boarded by the Coast Guard. I must say, they were very nice and it was a pleasant/interesting experience. Here are the questions they asked us: 1. When was the last time you were...

Thanks Marvin Another great idea. I have heard that if you use just bait, the crab will hang on until it gets close to the surface and then you use a net to get the crab before it lets go. Fact or legend? Nancy

Jack We were thinking of trying something like that. Talked to some old timers, and I guess that is what they used to do off the docks all the time. We thought it would be fun to give it a try and maybe catch some dinner sometime when we are out cruising during crab season. Thanks for the...

Our roughest trip has been 3ft beam seas. We did some rolling back and forth and the steering was a little difficult. But the tug got us through no problem. Heading into 3ft waves is easy. The water does tend to come over the bow, but the tug just slices through the water. No bashing or...
