I've never had a problem with any marina in Washington State allowing me to be on my vessel while I fill it with fuel. I do have all other occupants of the boat exit the boat while I am in the fueling process. I guess I can understand Oregon having a law like that because they will not allow...

Engine preferences have been hashed out repeatedly on this site over the years and after all the "votes" are in someone will say......"You can't really go wrong with any of the new 4 strokes, just be sure you have a strong dealer for the choice you make that is located in the area of where you...

: Just goes to show that S--T happens. :roll:

I totally agree with you Brent.....I have often wished that Joe had been my High School Science Teacher! :thup Of course he would have been fresh out of high school then.... :lol: (In 2002, I posted information about 1st Aid Kits and it can be found by going to Forums, then Library...

Actually I think it is more about liability. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is now at total stand down. Cannot do Patrols, Training, Vessel Exams or even have meetings and Auxiliarists are all volunteers. All those volunteers would continue serving for free, but alas are not permitted to do so and...

Last month when I tried to fuel up at the Bellingham Marina, I was surprised to learn that they no longer had non-ethanol fuel. Fortunately I asked just as the attendant handed me the fuel nozzle. (Previously they had non-ethanol). I thanked him for his efforts, handed the nozzle back to him...

In order to not add one more new thread to the C-Brat site, I resurrected this 2007 thread since the title is appropriate for the following comment. Yesterday I viewed the site puregas.com and was surprised to learn that the fuel dealer (Nelson Petroleum in Arlington, Washington) that I've used...

I would like one. Bill, thank you for all of your and the other Brats fine work and input on this project. :smile

It is the secret C-Brat monogram.......kinda like the secret C-Brat handshake. :wink (BTW, I like what you folks are coming up with!)

Yes it is.

The route via exit 253 (Lakeway Drive) is the way I kind of prefer as it is a bit more direct, but my wife does not like it because it takes you right through the downtown streets of Bellingham....doesn't bother me... :roll: So the recommended route and less "city traffic" congested is to...

Dustin, If I'm not mistaken there are C-Brats that have parked there for a couple of months at a time with no problems. Personally, I've parked there for 10 days with no problem.....HOWEVER....and there always seems to be an "however"... :roll: ...several years ago, our well known fellow...

Over the years, the boat insurance topic has arisen a number of times. As I recall, quite a few Washington C-Brats have Progressive. Naturally, it is wise to "shop around" as what was best last year might not be best this year. Personally, I still have Progressive for the C-Dory and it's...

Dustin, one launch site that has not been mentioned and is my favorite when I cruise the San Juans and Canada is Bellingham. Although Bellingham is a farther drive, there are a number of plus factors. 1) Parking for your tow rig and trailer is free. (You just pay $7.00 to launch)...

Port Orchard and Poulsbo offer good marina facilities plus the convenience of quaint communities to explore. (Be certain to wander into the bakery in Poulsbo). Blake Island offers a feel of remoteness very close to Seattle with fantastic views of the Seattle skyline and Mt. Rainier. (No shore...

Dustin, In looking at the site it appears that "Waverider" Buoys" are not equipped to monitor wind speeds. However, it you click on the "Meteorological Observations for Nearby Stations and Ships" you can locate wind speeds and wind gusts in nearby Latitude and Longitude locations as the...

Jim, Yes it does appear that you have landscaping (ie: earth moving) challenges to deal with. The name of the company that constructed our building is Spane Buildings in Stanwood, Washington. They have a good web site with pictures of many of the buildings they have constructed. Perhaps...

Around noon yesterday while enjoying Fathers Day brunch at the Hearthfire Restaurant in Bellingham I observed "Reef Madness" returning to port and saw another Tomcat departing port....unfortunately since the name of that vessel appeared to be in cursive writing, I was unable to discern what the...

Hi Jim, Finally getting back to you from a very busy weekend. (Our daughter graduated from Western Washington University on Saturday....needless to say, a very busy and happy time in our lives!). Anyhow, here is the information I promised you.....Your 40 foot anticipated depth of the...

Jim, I'll be happy to share more information with you. I'll gather the info for you after my busy weekend is over. :lol:
