I was told Fluid lost acess to cash and financing when the financial markets went to hell. So this was expected in the industry for months. Can't think of a better product line to match up with. I would expect c dory to continue as a lighter less costly line, right next to the two lines this...

A 3 battery system? Really? Are you planning on running AC or entertaining the kids with tv and videos? I have a house battery and a starting battery and the house is under the counter inside. I would not be inclined to go directly to three. You could get a battery charger, shore power set up...

Warren, Astoria is a very short distance away 10-15 mins. The Warrenton Marina is in Warrenton which is just east of Astoria and I think Warrenton has chain hotel as well. Kathleen will most likely fish with me two of the three days if its calm. She plans to do some sightseeing on the third day...

Ah ya well, when you are intending on using it, you can turn it around. Jeesh, you marines.

Tom, a light is a nice add for dead head avoidance at night. I had mine put out there in a stainless plate welded to the rails and later got a longer bow roller and delta anchor. Now the flood reflects off the galv back of the delta and I wish I had mounted the light up about 4". I will also...

Larry and others, thanks for the advice. We may check out that resort. The new boating guide says things have changed much since 2004. I will give a report and post some pic's when I return. Good info is a must.

Much has been said about bringing a spare prop on a longer trip. What other outboard components should one have along? My 22 is powered by a Honda 90. Does it have one of these rubber bushings?

Tom, my prediction: Next time and following a very detailed two hour inspection including your person, the officer will say in passing "have a nice day sir, after all we are just cops and you are a marine" sending a chill down your spine.

Tom, I think its your black hair. On top of everything else you are being profiled. I agree with some of the comments along the lines of this being part of boating. The line for LE of all agencies has been moved though, and it is not, in my opinion, un American or dis respectful to be...

Due to tides, we put in at around 2pm Sunday Kath a neighbor and I went to Jarrel Cove and tied up to a buoy for a few hours. We enjoyed the small event of seeing a healthy buck enter the cove and swim across right past us. We then continued to Squaxin Island in the bay on the East shore and...

Peter, I intend to aim for Discovery Harbour (page 26 & 27 Waggoners). We will launch nearby in the afternoon and depart the next morning after shopping and finding secure and not overpriced parking. I will have more information by the 11th of August. All I can recommend for now is get your...

Some time has passed and we have been making ready for our big trip focused on Desolation Sound. We are booked on BC ferry to Vancouver Island on Friday July 24th and plan to spend that night dockside in Campbell River where we will top off stock, grab a meal and a good night sleep prior to...

Best line: Let me break it down for you. My old shirt had one wolf. This shirt has three and a moon. Thats three times the wolf. Or: On windy days I have to stay inside with my shirt on. Last time it was windy, I went outside and women twelve miles down wind got pregnant. It's that powerful.

Mike, those are tech smart fish you know. How else did they survive ice age after ice age? In fact they are big readers of this blog and several have emailed me just to say thanks for a few extra weeks free of the hook and net. Yup, they are chillin off Long Beach. :hot :beer :cigar...

www.boat.wa.gov This site intends to serve as a one stop site for boating related information. Previously this information was located on many sites and you had to know where to look. I am told, this cooperative effort between agencies saves money even as it makes state services and information...

In looking at the fishing Regs I note that the 28th is the last day of the season in the last week of June. Starting on the 29th the area shifts to catch and release till the following weekend. As a result the Capital Sea may show up Wed evening though the dates for this event will remain the...

Ah, wiper at the bottom. Now I get the issue.

Pat, Oh it's covered unless the insurance company asked "who will skipper the boat" and based the rate on the captains boating experience and is a bit less than reputable. More likely though is that they will pay and then high risk the insured. The event of one letting some other person launch...

Well, I gave this issue some thought when locating my compass. I placed it just over the hump on the Port side. It is out of the way 99% of the time and for the other 1%, the reading will be unaffected by all of the other stuff forward of the wheel. This includes all of the electronics on the...
