If you decide to launch from the Delta, Martinez is the closest ramp to Walnut Creek and it’s also closer in to SF Bay than the others. It’s an outstanding facility with $10 launch fee. The ride from there to Sausalito is about 1hr 40 min in good conditions. I find it an enjoyable way to go...

Here is a photo of how the trail enters Watmough. You can see the sheer cliffs on the left. Good swimming there for those who can tolerate below normal water temps, but it's warmer than the open water. For me it's the best place to swim on Lopez.

localboy – those numbers look high to me as compared to what I experience with my CD25 trailer, and the fact that the newly greased one is the lowest, I would re-grease the others to see if you can bring them down. The readings between the four hubs should not vary to that degree. I don’t know...

Don't have the CD up here but the crabbing is good, and they make pretty bow ornaments.

Is that a Kingfisher? I see a lot of those around Lopez. It don't matter to me, so enjoy your boat and feel free to continue to associate with the ever-evolving 'sea-brats'. We're a flexible bunch, though not so much in body any longer due to our collective average age, but in tolerance to a...

Ingredients: 1 dozen eggs (adjust amounts downward proportionately if necessary) 1 lb bacon 6 cups sushi rice ½ cup soy sauce ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp light brown sugar Preparation: Scramble the eggs Fry the bacon and chop into pieces (or cook however you like; microwave, etc, or even use...

I love happy endings. It just brings :cry to my eyes.

<<Can a C-Dory really take this kind of abuse?>> No way. It can take a 6 foot drop... or maybe 2 meters if you're lucky.

Snagged - There's really not much to say other than the 22 doesn't pound if it is driven correctly for the condtions, which will be be at a lower speed than a v-bottom. But flat bottom boats plane almost immediately and cruise nicely at a wider speed range. It might roll a bit in heavy beam...

Tom - Sea Skipper has tabs which are 18 inches wide, I think. They're huge and work very well. There's a picture of them in my album page two. Don't have the auto level feature but do have auto retract which is handy.

I threw up once. Fortunately, it went overboard.

Yes, the C-Dory effect is an interesting sociological phenomenon which is well documented in the C-Brat case study literature. I think that part of the explanation for this effect is that those million dollar yacht owners and their passengers are not threatened emotionally by the occasional...

Cold water is not as effective a solvent as warm or hot water. Vinegar and saltaway work better than straight water at lower temps. If one were able to flush with hot water, then salt buildup in the engine probably would not occur.

Thanks for this. I will be checking mine when I get home from work today.

Be careful, you might be opening the proverbial can of worms and make things worse if you try to remount the window. After the repair it still might not be just exactly perfect. It might leak, or the patch job will be noticeable and then you really will go bonkers. Give it some time and you’ll...

Yes. Talk to a therapist. One session should fix the problem.

Cool boat, Tom. Can you ID the pilot's chair? Looks like it could be a Moeller but it's hard to tell.

Southlake - my cover was made by the original owner, thus is not available as a premade item.

Southlake, my CD25 has a similar hard cover as shown in the previous post, made from ABS plastic: The side panel is fixed in place and the cover is a bendable flat piece held in place by Velcro strips along the right edge:
