I'm going from Olympia on a 3-4 day cruise with an 8- and a 10-year-old next week, and thinking about a trip through the locks into Lake Union and then Lake Washington. Can anyone advise me about guest moorage on Lake Washington? I think we'll have a good time swimming and just goofing...

My wife Irene, I, and two gks just got back from Desolation Sound. We launched at Skyline Marina in Anacortes, went through Canadian customs at Bedwell Harbour on South Pender Island, and then motored to Pender Harbour on the mainland, getting there the evening of Day One. Then it was...

[please excuse lack of knowledge of proper mechanical terms] Our twin Honda 50's have always run identically until now. We've been out five times this season for several hour/day runs and everything was fine until the last two times. The port engine is now running at a lower rpm than...

We always launch at Skyline Marina when we cruise to the SJ's or Canada. It's $35 for a round-trip launch/haul-out, and parking in a secure fenced area across the street is $9/day. Skyline is well-located. It's a quick trip across Rosario Strait to Thatcher Pass and then you are in the...

Irene and I returned Saturday from a cruise to Desolation Sound and back from Anacortes. We were warm and dry with our Wallas, plus an electric heater at the marinas. We stayed at Poets' Cove, Pender Harbor, Laura Cove [anchored], French Creek, Nanaimo, and Victoria. The winds were mostly...

We plan to be visiting Pender Harbour in the next few days. Recommendations for marina(s) to moor and possibly in which to stay in a cabin/motel? Thanks, Byron

We were leaving the Penrose State Park dock this afternoon about an hour before low tide. We were about 200 yards out from the dock, heading east past the little jetty which protects the dock. I had one eye on the Garmin 7400 Chartplotter depthfinder (which said 11.8 ft.), one eye ahead for...

I've been looking for a year for two lightweight folding deck chairs, not made in China, preferably made in the USA. Usage will be in the cockpit and on the dock. I'm okay with cheap and I'm okay with expensive. Can anyone direct me? No luck at REI, CostCo, West Marine, Cabelas, and several...

C-Brats, Irene and I are planning a June cruise from Anacortes to Desolation Sound. We have looked at previous C-Brat threads on this topic, have a current copy of Waggoners, and hereby request comments from any recent Desolation Sound cruisers. Our plan is to get there in 2 days, spend 3...

Could someone comment on the danger of the Wallas diesel stove/heater re CO? It's designed to vent outside but what, if anything, can go wrong? Thanks, Byron

We are new to boating, have a 22' Cruiser, and after a first trip this weekend to the San Juans we think we need a dinghy. I have reviewed previous posts and ask now if there are any recent/new dinghy recommendations. We want a lightweight dinghy chiefly to row from harbor moorage to shore...

I can think of reasons to have a transom bar on a 22' Cruiser, like safety, attaching pole holders, etc. Are there any downsides to having a transom bar? Thanks, Byron

We move recently to Olympia, Wa. We are considering a 22' cruiser. Kind of expensive though! Yet if it would work well for us (cruising, hauling around grandkids, enjoying puget sound, etc.), we'd be willing to put out some bucks. If anyone wants to call me with comments or advice I would...
