The springer season on this part of the river between March 19 and April 18 is open Th, F and Sat only. As a result, Capital Sea plans to get into the water in Thursday at Cathlamet and overnight Thursday, Friday and Sat nights. From the comments above, it looks like I need to make my...

In regard to maintenance, I do not from experience think the only basis should be hours of use. Boats require maint even when they are not used and things ware out even when abuse or an accident are not involved. Repairs due to abuse or accidents are a sperate issue. Our boat policy had a high...

Some things to think about. I owned 1/2 and then 1/3 and then 1/2 and then all of the same boat over a 7 year period. We all started as friends and the boat relationship ended as friends as well. We had a clear agreement and ground rules for investments in gear. More than one name was on the...

Well, I am planning on attending and doing some fishing. Is anyone launching on the 10th? As long as my neighbor and I are bringing the boat down, we thought we would fish Friday and some on Sat. Do I need to make sperate reservations for the night of the 10th and by signing up am I reserved...

For me the wallis is working well, but only gets fired up for heat. Then if it is running, will we may heat or cook something on it. But for the cook, their is nothing like a flame and it is nice to have high btu's for boiling.

Hi Tom. Missed you at Indian Cove. It was the first chance I had to test out my two burner over the side stove top. It worked great. I will have to relearn how to post photos. For now, I will give a quick idea of the new set up. I have four flush mount pole holders and use Penn downriggers. So I...

First a big thank you to Jim for providing such a great place and doing all the work that makes these things feel easy. It was great to see everyone and I would have to say I am impressed with the longer trips people took in poor conditions. Once tucked into the cove, it sure was nice even in...

OK. I just want to say please do not throw me in the fire. I am really sorry for being me, the way I am, and so on. I will try to do better. MUCH BETTER!

Well down here in the south sound it's a blustery day with blue sky. Judging from the wind direction, we should be calm in Indian Cove. See you all in a day or two hack caugh hack sneeze...moan.

Well, Friday looks like the best day out of the three. On Sat we are expecting 70% chance of rain, West wind of between 8-11mph and overnight temps as low as 30F. The good news is that we will have a clubhouse nearby all be it with a few tarp walls. Gas lights, cooking and some heat will be...

Good show Pat. Some had suggested that reducing WM's profit was causing harm to a valued supplier. I sure don't see things that way. They need cash flow and even making 2% on an item beats nothing. I also agree with the idea of going back into the same store to hold them to the corporate return...

Lizzie, the Kitchen is the place your cat heads to as soon as you go out side. As you enter the house you will hear the sound of your cat jumping down off the counter. Now do you understand?

Patty, good point. I agree with Tom, the kitchen is mine. I just let Kathleen store her plastic wrap in an extra drawer. :smiled

Protection, preservation and restoration of the Salmon resources are not goals that any one state or any one user group can achieve. This challenge IS political as a result of how and where these migratory fish spend their lives. California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska all have their...

Matt, I appreciate your comments. We should all be so lucky as to have a dealer as engaged as you are. Regarding straps, I see your point, though in my case, with the proper set up, adding a redundant strap is intended to hold the bow eye against the roller/stop and take some stress from...

Dennis, your set up is an approximate match with mine and I agree that it is proper. For longer trips though, adding a strap from the bow eye down and forward would do no harm and may just help keep everything where it should stay as you go down the road.

Well Matt, I would have to say that I appreciate the first two comments quoted above and for the boat and trailer involved in this event, both of these fixed modifications would be a good idea. I would also offer, that it would be a service to this community if a dealership like yours would...

As for the design of how the arm is attached to the upright, this area needs work regardless of what King says. If it were me, and I had a boat of that weight on that trailer with rollers, I would add two galvanized straps from near the end of the winch arm down to the center trailer frame...

One other point for those of you who are really engineers, involves the arm that the bow brace and winch are mounted to and its angle in relation to the upright. It looks to me as though this setup creates a mechanical advantage where the longer the arm is the more upward force is transferred to...

Ok, I cannot sit back any longer. From everything posted here and from the photos, I think it will be very interesting to see how successful your insurance company is at recovering every cent they pay out from King. The events you detail are well within the norm and the steps you took to secure...
