First, clean the channels periodically as the previous poster mentioned and you likely won't need any lubrication at all. If you do need some lubrication after cleaning, try paraffin wax. It's cheap and won't collect dirt and debris as much as the other stuff will.

There is a fundamental flaw in the world's financial system. That flaw is the law of infinite expansion. In order for the economy to succeed, or for any individual business to succeed, it must expand. You cannot flatine your profits, you must expand your profits. Expansion translates into all...

Yes, Bob was spot on in Jan '08, but so was every real estate editorial I read from 2005 on. The writing was on the wall and we were warned years before this happened, and not just in the newspapers but by certain individuals in Congress as well but no one listened.

Could this be a boat that was damaged in the recent hurricane? Sounds like it could have been banged up and left wet for a period after the storm.

If one must turn the stern into the wind to alleviate bow slap, then it is in fact a problem; but one which can be dealt with by turning the stern into the wind to alleviate the problem. The Tom Cat is faster, but twice as fast? My 25 does 30 knots, and with the TC you must go faster or else go...

The 22 makes good bait for tuna fishing. Attach the 22 to fish hook, troll out to deep water and wait for tuna to strike. The 22 works great for tuna fishing.

<<Sea Skipper sold today to a couple who have a home on Lopez Island>> That would be me. I am so excited I don’t know what to say. Sea Skipper will be towed to Lopez this week and launched there for the first time on Sunday. Hank put his heart and soul into Sea Skipper and his influence...

So.... did I get a ride?? Yes!! Since Janet & Chris with Luna C were such a short distance away from where I am at Mud Bay, we were able to meet on short notice. After discussing our respective schedules earlier in the week, we agreed that July 3rd looked like the best day and left it at...

I am a part-timer on Lopez, meaning that I live and work in the SF Bay Area, own property on Lopez, and plan to spend mucho grande time there in coming years. I currently am a C-Dory looky-loo but will purchase a boat in the next couple of years. I will be on island from June 28 through July...

I commented to my Lopez neighbors during a group dinner where I was being introduced as the newest property owner that I wanted to install a slalom course off my property on Mud Bay. I was a tournament slalom skier for 20 years, and there is ideal water there. Boy, did that ever kill the...

<<I think one panel of the comic would have all three, Jim, Joan, and Molly all in the same position as that last picture of Molly, not wanting to get out of bed and face the cold!>> And then once they get on the boat, they turn on the wallas and they're good to go! Cat and all.

Standing in a doorway is no longer recommended because door openings are a weak point in the wall and people get crushed there when the wall collapses. Also, a swinging door can cause injury if one is holding onto the door jam. Even standing, itself, is not possible in a severe earthquake...

Regarding the stink factor, that's due to the rubber sole of the foot bed. You might try one of those EVA type inserts to isolate your foot from contact with that rubber. Due to the open heel, however, I don't know how well it would stay put. They're cheap, though, and might be worth a try. I...

Here is a link to some info on the fungus. I wouldn't worry about it.

Excellent info here. There is one important point that I want to emphasize because it has only been mentioned in passing thus far. This is for those who have read the thread and might feel some anxiety and uncertainly about their own sleeping habits that they did not have before, including those...

The main thing to remember about "pretty" links is that they all begin and end as follows: The first thing you have to is insert the web address of the site after the equal sign in the first bracket. The second thing you do is insert, between the two sets of brackets, the word or words that...

<<Gas is still relatively cheap...So 25 cent gas (1962) should be $5.00 a gallon (today)!>> There has been a lot of talk about numbers. Numbers can used to "prove" almost any point of view. As presented above, we are to believe that the cost of gas was more expensive in 1962 than it is today...

When I read through this thread, I circle back to Mr. Sea Wolf's comment which is positioned after the Ricardo email posted by C-Hawk on page two. The main point is "incompatible business models" between the two. It appears to me that C-Dory is in a business mode of needing increased sales in...

Each state has its own network of hwy cameras where you can see live road conditions in the pass areas. Here are some links that show camera locations along hwy 5: Washington Oregon N. California
