Another one in the books Jim and Kathy, had a great time, no, fantastic time! Wonderful seeing old friends again and meeting new ones. I think Christopher, my 1st mate on this trip, has recalled every single minute of the 4 days we were there, almost like a blink of the eye in time. I will post...

Wow Kent, double whammy, health issues and a dry boat, so sorry. Here's wishing you a full recovery and back to normal in the boating dept--maybe even double your trips per year for awhile to make up for lost time. :thup And please say hi to Marcia for me! I know I've been boating only about...

Hi Tortuga (forgot your name), I met you a couple of weeks ago at Ventura Marina as I was flushing/cleaning my boat and you were launching. On crowded w/e's (Memorial, July 4th, Labor, Buccaneer Day) I routinely anchor bow and stern in Cat Harbor on the backside. I like the area perpendicular...

Pedro and Eileen. Pay at the gate entrance for the number of days (24hr periods) you will be staying, make sure to display on left front windshield. Also call the number, but I have forgotten to call many times, seems no problem if you have the proper tickets displayed -- but best to call...

I'll do the ice cream, but I can't guarantee it will be the same w/o Ron doing the buying...but I'll try. I'm beginning to sweat having a crew for the trip, down to 1, and that 1 is quite busy. Have to play it by ear.

Hey Boris, thanks for the link on Lewmar parts, I have a broken "finger" which I guess is called a Control Arm which presses down on the chain/rope into the gypsy. Not sure if mine is a 600 or 700, will have to look up original paperwork. But thanks -- you never know what others' problems will...

I'd do a non-technical approach, just have someone turn the key to start and then give the starter motor (or solenoid first) a quick tap with a small, metal hammer.

I have 2 tandem Sevylor kayaks, we use them a lot. They're comfortable and stable. However, you MUST buy the rudder accessory ($15 I think) or they won't track worth a #$%&@. 8)

Geeeezaahz.

Does it help reduce the fog from returning more than just a rag or paper towel? The reviews don't mention.

Any photos forthcoming?

Sorry guys, even with all my wish'n and hope'n I couldn't push enough out of the way to get 5 days! Ya'll have a great time, I'll miss everyone. I'm staking out next year now. Catalina Adventure in August...for sure.

As of today there's an "outside chance" that I may be able to go. Still pushing schedules around. Jim, I'll give you a call as soon as I can firm it up. Sorry for the late notice, but if too late, there's always next year...

Les at EQ Marine has a Tolly for sale, can't remember the details on it. I'm sure he will tell you all about it and if interested will make you a super deal.

Here's another data point. I towed my CD25 home when new (2003) from the San Francisco area 450 miles with the engines on the little swivel tilt brackets. And I was as careful as I could be to avoid bumps and potholes. At home I saw that the port engine's bracket was severely bent and wouldn't...

Hi Jim, Well let's put some more "in common" things in the books. You got me on the bikes, I've only owned 16 (I think). Previous bike was a Harley Sportster 1200, in training for 9 yrs before the Road King. The Sporty was top-heavy, didn't like twistys at all with that bike. The Road King is...

I must have missed something, when did you get rid of (or not) your previous bike you had for the two of you? And what is the model of scooters you now have? I'm interested because my Harley Road King is s-l-o-w-l-y getting too heavy for city riding...ha.

Each of my engines (twins) are hard-wired to their respective battery, therefore switching during running isn't a problem, it is only affecting the house electrics. And...mine is a make-before-break, always have been on all my boats (just like Boris!).

I SHOULD be able to make it, I will just blank out that week from everything else. And if we can get Roger/Pat to come, maybe another great fishing trip is in store. Thanks Jim/Kath for hosting this again, you're the best!
