Hi all, Just brief note, seeing all the posts has my mind reeling my DS trip last September. I anchored at the end of VonDonop Inlet on 12 Sep 04. My log indicates "terrific bottom holding - good anchoring". Unfortunately it started raining that night and rained all the next day. One log note...

Hi Nick I have just re-trailered, rollers to an EZloader bunk style. I took the cargo guides and brackets from the old trailer and installed on the new. It was a major struggle getting it right. The mfg stated beam on a 22 is 7'9", I guess that is from the outside of the rub rails. Of...

Planning to cruise San Juans for the month of June. I have seen a few good cruising books (more specific than Waggoners). Any suggestions on best book for this area. Cheers - Dave

Just a few observations I have made on my four crossings/journeys in the Strait in Sailor-D. First I am not exactly an old salt (literally or figuratively). Many of you have a lot more experience than I. The Strait of Georgia is a very large body of water (comparitively a C-Dory is a very...

In the process of relocating filter to splashwell near boot. Mine was in batt compatment and suffering effects of acid and very hard to change or check. My question - I want to put a quick connect on the inlet side of the filter head in the event I ever have use of an auxilliary fuel tank...

Voyage of Sailor-D, Desolation Sound, Part 3 I got sidetracked.............. We left you in lovely Lund on 5 Sep 04. Tied up at dock, sunny and pleasant – Rosie the wharfinger a very pleasant person to deal with. Did our laundry at the laundromat and checked out the local sights – Lund is...

Sailor-D - voyage to Desolaton Sound – 2004, Part 2 5 Sep – Weather is perfect, warm, slight northwest breeze and sunny. One thing we do notice is that the daylight hours are getting shorter – evenings are starting to get dark by 1730 or so. We checked our charts and the idea of anchoring...

Tim Maybe before I go any further I must point out an errata on tank capacity and a mea culpa is in order. I checked my gas tank, the sticker is somewhat degraded, did a photo enlargement and the capacity is indicated at 58US gallons (219 litres). This gives a fuel load of 348lbs (@ 6 lb per...

It's a deal. What is the best way to post a chronicle of our trip? It is possible to put a .doc file into the photo album? I don't really want to hog a whole chunk of the forum - or is that OK? Pls let me know and I will get out my log and hit the keyboard.

Hi folks - We did Desolation first three weeks of Sep 04. The weather was not that great. Everyone we met said that it was a wetter more miserable September than past years - we have to agree. We launched from Ladysmith - 5 miles from where I live. I will field questions if anyone is...

Thanx for the tips Stevej. I was getting a bit of overexposure with light subjects on auto (corrected with manual settings). I always used polarizing filters on my old Pentax Spotmatic - I will give the lens barrel a try on mine. Cheers - Dave

I bought a Canon PowerShot S1 IS a few months ago, very good results so far. I like the image stablilizing system in this camera - a must for most boat pictures.

Hi Brock/Carolyn - nice to hear from you too. Pic was of "Cutie" 16 ft C-Dory angler with an Idaho registration. Didn't get a chance to jaw with the owner/op though. I have the pic but don't know how to attach to a reply in here. Cheers - Dave

Well that didn't seem to work!

Remember the Golden Rule "BE NICE".
