Very timely submission (you beat me to the punch by a few minutes). It is a two way street though - the US government applies the same draconian measures to Canadians entering the USA. Cheers - Dave

Hey Peter, sorta smells like "C-Spam" don't you think? Cheers - Dave

I went through the same angst you are experiencing. Some of the things I considered were, in no particular order or importance: something different, how many "Carpe Diem" do you see? I tried to stay away from the cutsey nautique "Romantasea" I think most plays on "C" are...

Big round of applause for "Da Nerd". Thanks Bill. Cheers - Dave

Yup I see what ya mean. Cheers - Dave

It is there larger than life brought with your link up on a Firefox browser. cheers - Dave

Many thanks for all who replied to my query on the Honda BF2. The comments have given me serious pause for a sober second thought on replacing my '96 Yamaha 2 stroke, 2hp. Cheers - Dave

Thinking of replacing my Yamaha 2hp, 2 stroke with a Honda BF2, 2hp, 4 stroke. Primary use is on my tender, an Avon Redstart inflatable. I see the Honda is air-cooled - any noise level issues? Anything good, bad or ugly about this motor? thanks - Dave

Try Industrial Plastics and Paints on Northfield Rd in Nanaimo. I am sure they have it (also offcuts of HDPE). I think HDPE can be used in place of Starboard - depending on application I guess. Note: I have seen OOPS gathering moss in Ganges the odd time I put in there! Cheers - Dave

I subscribe to Pacific Yachting, I guess it covers "around here". Unfortunately among the gems like the latest "How to navigate the lower Johnstone Strait" and "A Christmas cruise on the Sunshine Coast" are just too many ads. I am on the fence right now about letting my subscription lapse. I...

I tow engines down with dowel a la El and Bill (I stole their idea). Was in the Yamaha dealer a month or so ago and overheard part of a conversation from the service guy and I think he recommended down. The reason he gave was that the locking tab is not strong enough to withstand the rigours...

Wallas fuels appear to ignite the same debate as the one motor/two motor discussions. I think at one point there was even a poll. It seems various users favour either Kleen Heat (unavailable in Canada), diesel or kerosene likely K1, and swear by them. I use K1 kerosene and notice a slight...

Thank you for the scholarly reply Roger. I think I prefer the zinc to give its life rather than the lower units of my motors. Cheers - Dave

Just an observation from looking in albums and noted that not too many seem to have anodes (zincs) attached to their trim tabs. The Bennet manual that came with mine specifically recommends installation of zincs on the tab for salt water operation. I have them on mine and they lose about...

I am a Firefox (sometime Thundbird - mainly Eudora user) and don't have problems. I did find early on that blocking popups sometimes thwarts webmail. Maybe cookie setting could be your problem. Not really helpful other that I have always been able to log on. cheers - Dave

Thanks for directions - they are very helpful. cheers - Dave

Just figured out the magic of Google satellite/hybrid map and found the exact location. Cheers - Dave

Tentatively stopping by the factory in Seattle next week. I have the addr on 37St NE. Can anyone give me a more exact location in what appears to be a large industrial area, north or south side of 37th? any good landmarks (coordinates) etc. I will be southbound on I-5 from Vancouver (Canada)...

The round orange fenders are always called "scotchmen" by commercial boat operators and fishermen in British Columbia. Also used as net floats, crab and prawn trap floats, and marine markers. It seems power boaters often call fenders "bumpers" and "proper" sailors call them "fenders" (or...

I have the "Command 2" Morse cable steering system owner's manual (June 88) for the system on my 22. My system has the red jacket cable. If you think the manual would be helpful pls let me know. cheers - Dave
