Only one minor comment I'd add after just installing and wiring my EOH system a few wks ago. I selected a Hydrastar actuator, a DrawTite controller mounted in the tow vehicle cab (2003 Expedition) and a Tekonsha Breakaway Switch system with a 5 amp-hr battery. Look up your actuator's...

My son and I dive off our CD25 whenever we get the chance (seems fewer these days). We have a portable 4-step ladder to hang off the side and use a bungee cord that latches onto an installed bolt-hook under the gunwale to prevent it from coming loose. I like the 4 step, the lowest one is deep to...

My experience with Carlisle tires wasn't good, however, that was over 10 yrs ago, so maybe their problem was resolved or it was a bad batch. 3 out of 4 tires delaminated (large sidewall bubbles) at the same time on a 400 mile trip, low 90's outside temperature, tire pressures normal. Tires were...

I put the photo in my album, let's see if this works.

Les Lampman and wife (~2017)

I'd like to attach a recent picture of him and his wife, but will have to do a bit of research on how to do it.[/img]

Just received this sad news from Les' wife, Bing, in the Philippines. Les worked at EQ Marine for many years in sales, he helped me and many others outfit or ask questions about their C-Dorys whether or not we bought them at EQ or not. A very giving person to all. We have been in constant email...

Kent, sorry to hear about your knee (and back problems earlier) that somehow cause schedule issues right around the Delta trip every year. Like Jim said, it'd be real nice if you could make Catalina later this year. We're all getting older. And if someone tells others he/she is feeling better...

Jim, Please sign me up for this one also. Right here in my back yard. Steve

Please sign me up. Always enjoy the trip and camaraderie, never two trips alike. I will have to check on the crew for the final count and get back. Steve

John and Laurie, Put Dora~Jean down for 2 for dinner also. THANKS!

Jim, Alex and I will most likely be the crew of Dora Jean this trip. We discussed and decided that we'd prefer to go after those elusive stripers once again this year. So we won't be doing the sturgeon trip, although it sounds like a real educational opportunity.

I have 13.5"D x 15"P aluminum 3-blade props on my CD25 with twin Yami 80's, they're essentially perfect for the various loads I carry. I think i could go with 16"P, but not 17's with same diameter. You need to hear from those with your same engine setup. Hope this helps.

Roger, are you planning to stay at Rio Vista Monday night, then boat to Old Town Tuesday and night?

Jim, Please sign 2 of us up for the fishing trip. And we'll bring the Potato Salad for the dinner. Will send check ASAP. Been busy at work and home, just read this site this morning -- my priorities are all screwed up (as usual). Joel, tell Susan our prayers are with her, she is strong, she...

Sign me up, and thanks for pulling this event together once again. I'm happy with the change from Petaluma, even though I'll miss our usual visit with Joel's friends in town. Good choice to spend more time in S.F. There's a possibility I'll arrive early as well and try to visit other areas...

I wish I could lead it, but this particular year I'm on a hi-pri Gov't project at work, my schedule really isn't my own. A month ago I was scheduled for another 1 week trip starting 23 July, I knew it was a soft date. Last week changed to 30 July. Next week...who knows. I'd hate to lead an event...

Great news all around. And John, thanks for the Napa and Vallejo Yacht Club info. Sounds like we'll have some adventures this trip, always up for new things to see and do. Thanks again. We'll go where the group goes.

Regarding keeping the side windows cracked a bit at night, or even during a rainy day with a lot of people in the boat while running. I read on this site 10+ years ago about a plastic, rounded deflector that could be fitted on the leading edge of the slanted side window frames to allow the...

I'll be putting in at Rio Vista Tuesday late afternoon along with some others. The rest on Wednesday morning, we leave Rio Vista at noon. This is the best time to do your window shopping, during these kinds of events, so come on down!
