Destin,FL - harbor in the rain

entrance to Destin,FL harbor

Last fall we were on the Mississippi River when our main engine failed (carbs started flooding gas). We were able to start our kicker (9.9 Suzuki) and make it to shore. We were upstream from our launch point so we stayed out overnite then used the kicker going down stream to get home. Glad to...

Kennharriet, Be careful if you stop by Wefings to "look" at the 22. My wife and I drove from Mississippi to just look at a 22 and ended up buying one! Charlie and Marc are fine folks to deal with. We wanted to have an air conditioner installed so we picked up the boat a few weeks later and...

Thanks for the replies. The machine screw w/lock nut method is the way I will go. I mentioned the sealant not to attach the rub rail, but to fill the seam between the top half and bottom half of the boat which is hidden behind the rub rail. I have a gap of 1/16" where the molded halves are...

Delta Belle also has this problem with her rub rail. Did the fixes work that were talked about in this thread? Is it possible to use a screw (along with a washer) small enough to fit inside the rivet tube body to tighten down the rail from the outside? Would the aluminum body of the rivet be...

Zodi also has a stainless steel "bug spayer" unit that heats up with a propane burner. This is the ultimate KISS system. The burner unit can also be used as a fish fryer or shrimp boiler.

We also were very uncomfortable with the v-berth in our 22 and tried to up-grade by using a thin egg shell. We must have some hidden royalty in our blood because we were still uncomfortable. Not until we followed the advice from this site and purchased some memory foam did we get the comfort we...

Last week we went to Petit Bois Island which is a barrier island approx 6 miles south of Pascagoula, MS. The wind was pretty brisk at 15-20 mph but the beauty of the C-Dory is that we just slowed down and enjoyed the ride. We spent 2 nights anchored out at the island and enjoyed 3 days beach...

Living in Mississippi I would never have been exposed to C-Dory except thru this website. C-Brats made the boat become a real option for us. Y'all were so enthusiastic that we just had to see one, so we travelled several hundred miles just so that we could test drive it. Turns out that we...

When I lived in Memphis I could buy smelt at the grocery store (knew about them from a "Yankee" uncle). I loved them!!!!.....for eating, not bait!

At the end of the article they are asking for info concerning "small boat" cruisers.....where you have been, for how long, towing rig, and accessories on your boat. They want also want photos. The contact info is: Natalie Friton at natalie@passagemaker.com Some of you "Old Salts" need to...

I agree with Bob, our condensation drips off the sides of the boat. It has not been a problem.

Here is another website about the Abaco's with a lot of good info and pictures. Good "dreaming" fuel. http://abacomessageboard.com/

I noticed that the lobster season is closed from April 1 - July 31....this is during the time frame that has been mentioned for the trip. One of the main reasons for the trip for me was to enjoy trying to catch and eat some lobsters.

mikeporterinmd, I have posted pictures of the interior view of the a/c in the Delta Belle album. I don't know if you will be able to tell anything or not.
