I realize when I posted last night I did not include enough information. What we want to do is some boating in area and spend some time in Denver. I started thinking we could pull the boat up north, boat for a week, then fly from Sea-Tac to Denver for the 10 days and return in time for the...

We are looking at driving to the Seattle/Bellingham area for boating and taking 10 days to go to Denver then back for the Bellingham gathering. Any suggestions on where to leave the boat while gone? Thanks, Steve

Hi Floyd, I would not consider Walnut Grove a marina. All you have is a dock and gangway to shore. You can stay overnight for a fee but there is no water or electric as I recall. You can walk to the historic town of Locke but it is a long way to the area where the Cranes are. I don't know if...

I have one of the Strongback chairs. It is good if you have back problems. The large model is very large and heavy (unfortunately the one I have). I think the smaller version would be good for the boat. http://www.strongbackchair.com/collections/frontpage

Hi Pat, Very nice playing and singing! I am not sure what happened with the link to all your posts on Soundcloud but I just got some rap music. The other links worked fine. I am envious of your multiple talents - several instruments and singing - and it all sounds great. I have been...

Hi Bob, Good information. I am not sure I would be comfortable in my CD22 'bow in' with just the bow anchor buried. I wonder with strong wind wind and waves if you could wind up beam to the shore. Not good if there are waves. I anchored in Oak bay one time 'bow in' and had 40 knt gusts...

Looks like an interesting trip. Would like to read the details - where you leave the rig, how you get back to it, etc. Hope you have a great time. Steve

Hi Tim, Sorry to hear that - especially since I have the same motor including year. How many hours on yours? I do believe your motor has seen more saltwater than mine but not sure if that makes much difference. I have not seen a problem yet but I cannot remove the steel plug to replace it with...

I went with a very simple quick idea. I cut a 4in thick piece of regular cushion foam to fit the opening. It is just enough over sized that it is wedged into the opening and seals it. It does not look as good but it stopes odors and is easy to remove and replace. I have been using it for a few...

DaNag was the first C-Dory I had a ride in, Thanks Bill! Good luck on the sale and coming attractions. Steve

Thanks Bob, I generally just use a line through the buoy ring and back to the boat. A little more trouble to set up (especially if doing bow and stern) and longer lines needed, but I like being able to just release one end and pull the line in for leaving. With the hooks it looks like you have...

Hi Bob, You said Angel Island in San Francisco has floating buoys that are some distance apart (maybe about 100 feet?) Again you have to supply the lines between the buoys. If you are using this type of mooring, it is nice to have hooks to deploy in the ring of the floating buoys, rather than...

Dan, Where is that marina and launch, I could not find it on google? Steve

For the first part of the week in the Delta you probably won't have to deal with any bugs. The wind is going to blow them all away. It is a little windy. The more open areas such as the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and any areas west of Pittsburg may be bouncy. The smaller sloughs...

Hi Potter, I live near the delta and a lot of good information has already been provided for destinations. This time of year you can expect bugs. I have not been out yet this year but would expect mosquitoes in the evening. I try to keep the cabin closed except for screened windows. I...

I have the harborfreight impact driver and tried that the first time with no luck. I am thinking the only way may be to drill it out. I have concerns of getting the drilling material inside the passage. Not sure what problems that might cause. I was also thinking of cutting flats on the top...

Well tax season is over and I have some time now. I tried again to remove the bolt. This time I used some heat but ended up rounding out the allen part of the bolt. I also used a knife to break the seal of the paint around the bolt. It did not budge. Not sure what to do next. Take more extreme...

Dock looks great from the last time I was there. Glad the weather was good. Maybe I can go next year. Steve
