Ron- I have a anchor light. It's not original. I bought it when I had a problem with my light. It fit but didn't work. it turned out it was my contacts in the base. I cleaned them and put back the original light. This light should still work. If you could forward my e-mail address...

For those that have dogs that shed and take them on their boats, how do you keep the dog hair from clogging the bilge pump? Allan

Being boatless for a while and rarely posting, I do check the web-site everyday. I enjoy reading about Hunky Dory, Wild Blue and others . Jay, use as many words as you need to describe your experience. This is the only way I can enjoy boating right now. Continue to have a safe trip and keep...

I agree with Charlie and Nick, Mobile East has a good reputation for service. My point was you shouldn't have to jump thru hoops to find out who the dealers are. I bought my new 2006 22 C Dory from Cutter Marine in Maryland who then was dropped as a dealer. An Annapolis, Md sailboat dealer...

Is it just me? Am I missing something? I was looking up C-Dory dealers on the C-Dory website. They don't list them anymore. Your referred to Triton Marine's website and can only give your name and e-mail and they will get back to you with a, I imagine, local dealer's contact numbers. I like...

I drove 18 wheelers for ten years - 5 cross country and 5 years making local deliveries in metropolitan NY. What I did then and still do today when I get in congested traffic is turn my radio to a classical station. It seems to have a calming effect on me -takes away any return aggression. I...

Jim, I agree that when you look at it as a "parking fee" it doesn't seem to be unreasonable. I was just wondering about how prevalent this charge was. As most of you have linked the dinghy use and the pleasure of anchoring out, it was why I posted. Although I don't have the Jeanie P anymore, ...

Do most marina's charge a fee when you use your dinghy and tie up to their dock? Is there a time limit for any free dockage? What is the protocol for getting permission? Thanks Allan

" Never re-use a hitch ball" :?: I'm confused. Does this mean that every time you change ball sizes, you have to get a new one to replace the one you just took off? What makes it bad? Allan

But you can't fool the grandkids! To them your soft and cuddly :hug2 :love , no matter how much you pay your old swabbie mates to say how tough and hard you were. :wink Allan

Roger, as you have guessed, my maritime experience is rather limited. That's why I check this web site daily to experience it thru fellow C-Brat's exploits. Tom, thanks for linking Hunky Dory's video again. I was thrilled when it was first shown and am still thrilled. Allan

By my rough calculation, Malibu Rapids is about a 1/4 nautical mile long. It would seem that a boat would traverse this distance in a short time, even at hull speed, and should not unduly delay anyone waiting to enter. Am I correct on this? Thanks for the chart Larry. Allan

Just curious, how long is Malibu Rapids? Allan

Were these self - built or bought? Where? Allan

Utah Tom, your making me cry. :cry I miss the Jeanie P. I was wondering when it was coming back on market. Somebody will get a great boat. :thup Allan

Pat & Mike - I don't normally respond to threads like this, although I sometimes want to. I'm just a little reserved when it comes to private matters like this. Being on the perifery of this site ( not contributing much) I feel like I would be intruding. Over the last couple of years, while...

Emmeth- I agree on on avoiding incra-itis if you can. Being a newbe myself, we bought three boats in three years. As to not having a car or trailer, not a problem. Check out marinas on NY side of Hudson and north shore of Long Island Sound. Both areas are serviced by trains out of NYC and...

Jim, thanks for posting a link to the regulations. I now can understand the consequences of discharging in a bay or area that does not circulate it's water enough, even if it is such a small amount. Enforcing the regulation in this situation would be difficult, in my opinion. "Officer, your...

The alternative to getting a new porta-potti is just use a bucket lined with plastic kitchen bags. After use, tie off bag and put it into a larger yard trash bag that sits in a milk crate in the engine well. Empty the large bag in the marina dumpsters. Most marina's have trash dumpsters, right...

Pat I had installed a Garelick 2 step removable step that attached to the gunnel with two metal brackets. I had brackets on both port and starboard and just switched the step depending on which side I was docking on. I believe West Marine used to carry it but I don't see it in the 2009 catalog...
