Though we live in Seattle, we're thinking about staying at the hotel the night of the party. However, would like to get a two-fer for our night out, meaning, if C-Dory hosts an event, will that be the same day?

The Jenny G is moored just on the freshwater side of the locks so we would definitely be there.

After seeing those neat cooler racks on some newer 22's at the Sequim Bay gathering, I bought one and would like to install it this weekend. Of course, my next purchase will be a cooler that fits its dimensions (~100 quarts, I think). I've noticed that coolers vary significantly in price, with...

Hey Pat, I can confirm that you didn't want to be out on your 16' yesterday. We had a great overnighter in Poulsbo and calm waters behind Bainbridge. But, as soon as we cleared Agate pass, what a ride over to Shilshole! I checked the West Point buoy data yesterday evening and between 3pm-4pm...

Having deduced that the cost of a fridge, shore power, and an additional battery could buy ALOT of beer, I've looked for ways to improve the factory icebox that so many of you just love. On a Home Depot run today, I bought some Reflectix insulation and headed for the boat. Turns out that...

Everybody, I've basically finished this project and wanted to comment on several methods: (1) Windex, 409 Glass, et al. Useless. (2) Vinegar and water. Useless. (3) Scraper blade. This removed a nice layer of junk but did cause noticable scratches. Having had this work 100% of the time I've...

Pat is right; many choices exist for your graphics and vinyl should be just fine. At the Sequim Bay gathering this past weekend, we were impressed enough with the graphics on DogHouse to order our own today for the Jenny G. The shop is Speedy Signs, they have a great online design tool, and...

My wife and I both have T-Mobile phones and get excellent reception on the water in and around Seattle, the San Juan islands, and most of the South Sound. T-Mobile's online coverage map (referenced by oldgrowth) is highly accurate and should let you know how good your coverage will be at your...

Anybody have experience navigating the tide rips around the point (forgetting its name right now) North of Port Townsend that marks the transition from Admiralty Inlet to the East Straight? If that forecast holds through Sunday, we'll likely make a run for it and join everyone but our cruising...

We made the run from Friday Harbor to Ballard on Monday as well. Did you find your radar to be as useful as your GPS and compass in that fog? Since we both experienced the same conditions and I don't have radar, I'm curious as to whether you thought it was a "nice to have" or a "must have" for...

WhalerGoFar, I Just tried your trick and it works! This is most helpful; I planned a bunch of routes before purchasing the BlueChart CD and now, with its detail, I've discovered just how many things can get in the way of an otherwise perfectly useful straight course. Thanks

Hi all; our recently purchased 1998 22' Cruiser has a very light but uniform coat of (salt)water stains on the pilothouse windows. Certainly not worth replacing the windows but annoying nevertheless. Anybody know a way to remove these stains? After several washings and dryings, I'm not seeing...

When using Garmin MapSource software, what's the quickest way to modify an existing route? I need to do this, for example, when I zoom in and realize that I've routed myself over an obstruction somewhere in the middle of the route. Right now, if I want to modify a portion of a route, I create a...

Hey, who was that headed South through the Tacoma Narrows about 5:30pm yesterday (Sunday 8/27) on a red 22' or 25'? I was the blue 22 Cruiser pointed North but standing still because of the currents! :smilep

AFineRide, thanks for sharing your thinking! My wife and I went through an almost identical thought pattern during our boat shopping experience. We started our search with CD's based on price but didn't like the ride at deep-Vee speeds (I am a wake-jumper at heart :smiled ). Then we sea trialed...
