The day we bought her from Robbi.

Karen and I are looking forward to meeting the Brats in April. We have many trips on the Columbia planned for this year. It will be great to gather some knowledge from those who have boated from Hells Gate to Astoria. We plan to boat most of the dam pools by launching at available ramps. We...

As a first-time C-Brat Cruise Director, I'm not sure of the protocol about "who does what". I have made the marina reservations, posted a link to the marina, kept a list of boats who are attending, put reminders on my calendar to keep the marina informed, and posted the attendees as of Jan 17...

I called the marina this morning. We have "E" dock reserved. Power and water are available on this dock. I also reserved their BBQ pavilion for April 4. Here is the link to the marina: https://cathlametmarina.org/moorage So far, we have 4 boats coming (Zenith, Tyboo, Blue~C, clayhubler).

I’ve seen some wonderful posts and photos from past gatherings at Cathlamet WA. Would anyone be interested in getting together there this April? At the moment, I’m thinking of arrivals on Friday April 3, socializing on April 4, departures on April 5. I would be willing to speak with the...

This may sound like a silly question, but it’s something that multi-day cruisers contend with, and the answers will be helpful for my upcoming trip planning. After enjoying a meal onboard, it’s time to wash the pans and dishes. On a 19-footer, there is no sink, and no practical way to store...

You may not tbe familiar this model: APT-150-01. The tower is hollow.

I have not yet received the dome, but I have the tower. Where the dome mates with the tower, what prevents wind-driven rain from coming in between the tower and dome?

I will be installing an 18" Garmin Fantom dome atop a 6" tall Scanstrut Power Tower, bolted to the roof. The base of the tower is roughly 7' square, and is flat. As you know, the roof has a curvature. Has anyone installed this exact tower (or very similar), and how did you deal with the...

For the last 15 years, we have enjoyed exploring the country with travel trailers, and our current unit is 35' in length. Before that, we tent-camped for many years, and still have the gear to do so. The weight and bulk of the gear in the bed of my truck is no problem, but we will need to...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I took Zenith out for my first time on Dec 15, for a 47-mile cruise on the Columbia. It was a wonderful day to be on the river, and Zenith purred along nicely. I added some photos from today’s cruise to my album. The Friday Harbor event sounds great. I...
