    West Marine

    Personally, I don't care what WM charges. All I know is when I want it, I want it. I'm a busy guy and my days off must be productive. So, five years ago when I moved to Friday Harbor I decided (wanted) to by a boat. I had recalled C-dory from some time back and you just don't forget them. So I...

    Verizon vs. AT&T Coverage

    I miss not being able to have Nextel when on San Juan Island. Always good reception and never dropped. Sprint was good in Friday Harbor, but for the rest of the Island it was spotty. My friend had AT&T and often had no service. Verizon was best and used by most Islanders.

    Your favourite cooler

    Anyone understand the concept of using rock or ice cream salt in a cooler to lower the temperature? Saw someone do it and the beer was half way frozen within an hour of putting it in the yeti.

    Walking In Memory of Dee Gonser... a cherished C-brat

    As a nurse, I have been exposed to this terrible disease and the horrible destruction it causes the person and their loved ones. I have been present when the ALS association comes to a care facility a person is in and educates them and the family on the disease and offers emotional support. They...

    4WD for towing?

    This post brought a smile to my face. I recall towing my 16ft plywood boat with a 35 horse Evinrude with a '59 Ford car to the Edmonds boat launch from Bothell. The car had a straight 6 and "3 on the tree." It had one side mirror attached to the drivers side door. The bumpers were metal so I...

    Mooring buoys

    Don't know if this is true as it was second hand, but was told someone put in a buoy between Brown Is and San Juan Is and the fee to the state was 3k.

    I-5 bridge collapse.

    I will be in about 30 min. If you are traveling on a week day you will want to avoid rush hour. I heard the detour is a mess and that can't be helped. Considering your route is northbound and you want right back on 5 to Blaine your choices are very limited.

    C-Dory 16 cruiser vs Arima 16 sea explorer

    Can't speak for the Arima, but I can say I enjoy the cockpit of my Cruiser. Especially out where you live the winds can get quite chilly even on a nice day. Its nice to have cover from that. Mine's moored at Jensens.

    16 Cruiser Newbie Questions

    I never felt the need for 2 batteries. I have had my boat sit out all winter and it still turned over the engine come late spring. If concerned buy a new battery for piece of mind. I carry two tanks but usually dont put in more than 5 gallons each. I'm sure your engine is pretty thrifty also. If...
