Spent a couple hours with Roger in the cockpit of the boat while the very professional canvas lady measured all windows on Dive Cat next to her shop. Mike stopped by for a quick look on his way home. Katy and I then drove to the ramp parking lot and settled in for our first night on board...

Hi, Everyone When are y'all planning on departing Santa Cruz for home? Does it depend on the fishing??? Bob Cat

Hey, Roger We have an appointment with your canvas girl about 1100 at C.I., then were on our way. Are you going to be on 78 or 82, or can we just hail on 16? We'll head for the east end unless you tell us different. Bob Cat

Scott, For my stern anchor I use a smaller Bruce that I already had. 10' of 1/4" chain and about 150' of 1/2" nylon 3 part all coiled in a milk crate. Keep it light enough to carry and manually retrieve. Anchoring procedures depend alot on conditions at the time and expected while at anchor...

Bob, Katy and Mika will be arriving on station Saturday afternoon, weather permitting, or Sunday morning. We have to stop at Channel Islands to get the window covers and cushions measured. We've got the BBQ, the scallop liberation tool and the air supply (hopefully). Anyone know where the...

Based on my real life experience thus far, I have seen a maximum of about 2.3 nm/gal with my load. Haven't tried the new props yet. Would love to see anything over 3.0! Bob Cat

Posted a couple of pictures on page 6 of Dive Cat's album. She has her name now. And I added an anchor stop between the roller and winch. Just barely fit. I raised it 1" on a stainless block to align it. 2 x 3/8 machine screws go into a 3 1/2 x 5, 1/4" stainless backup plate. Next is a...

Hi, Roger Today I was invited to a "can't say no" CGAux function in Phoenix on April 21. Conceivably, we could come out and meet you on Sunday and continue on for a few days. I've contacted Peggy and will set up an appointment based on the weekend this gathering happens. Best we can do for...

29-30 is good for Bob Cat, Katy and Mika.

Bob Cat, Katy and Mika The Dog are on board. We'll be over there with sailing friends about the same time so we'll be in and out and around. Lookin' forward to it! Bob Cat

Bob Cat, Katy and Mika are 80% in. Gotta know the final dates so I can move things around and be covered. The compressor will be done by then (I think). We were on the breakwater Saturday night with a friend who saw at least fifteen 2-5 pound lobsters just walking around the sand at sunset...

Hi, Brent Sounds like a great trip! I have the opposite situation with my engines: My port sprays onto my stb, but not when she's above about 4100. I've got to finish the documentation process before I take her out again, and I'll also have the 15x19 props on then. I've never flooded out an...

Just posted pic of Phase I of the TomCat trailer fix. The wire winch cable has bee replaced with a 3" strap and the chain has been shortened considerably. The strap comes off the drum, straight up and over the bar above, then under the roller. I've put the factory supplied larger backup plate...
