Time to revive this thread. In preparation for a two month trip along the British Columbia Coast, I was about ready to purchase another GeoBlue policy, until I looked closer at the small print of exclusions. Specifically, they DO NOT cover evacuation from any kind of ship or watercraft...

Thanks. I'll probably stick to that routing I posted above then. Towing the 25 isn't much different than towing the 22. (Except when pulling into parking lots. It seems to find the curbs easier. lol!) I'll assume the snow will be cleared by Independence Day. :) Interested in Geology? My...

So if you were to recommend one route to take, which would it be? Preferably without adding very many additional miles? Remember, I'll be on the go home leg. lol. I'll add, I've never been on any of those roads. So they'll all be new territory for me. Colby

We just use heavy duty camping chairs, that fold up and fit in a bag. Comfortable and compact.

Thanks. That's good to hear, on both routing and Starlink. I'm ok with 2 lane roads. I don't travel max posted speeds on the interstate anyway, and find that sometimes it doesn't always take that much longer skipping the interstate, and city traffic! :)

Coming home from Blaine, after our PNW trip, in July, I'm looking at a different routing than I usually do, to steer clear of Seattle. Has anyone ever driven, or are familiar with, Hwy 20 to Twisp, then 153 to Patros, then 17 and 174 across Coulee to 2 and into Spokane? Do you recommend any...

I’m looking into the license as I would like to take my crab pot and ring along! 😊 I decided to purchase the Mini and should get it this week, I’ll get the $50 plan and see how it goes. I ordered the roof rack mount as well and look at mounting it on one of the rails (bow, roof or cockpit). Or...

I’ll be looking for you, I have AIS as well and will dm you my Inreach id, we’ll launch at Blaine on April 28 and be running slow going north,

Thanks Bob. I’ll have to see if I can find that on my charts and mark it to visit if near there.

Hi John, Our Verizon plan includes both Mexico and Canada, so no additional charges in those countries. I would assume that your nightly stops on your cruise was at cities that would have cell service. Still you only had it every third stop, and I'm assuming you stopped every day. I think a...

During May and June, I will be cruising with two other boats along the west coast of British Columbia. (Not on the ocean side of Vancouver Island.) Plan to launch in Blaine, and then possibly go as far as Prince Rupert, and visiting some of the many inlets in between. I hate to get Starlink for...

Rosanne is definitely coming with me. We plan to arrive in Rio Vista on the 17th. If Delta Marina office is open, and we get there early enough, we'll launch that day. If not, we'll launch the next day. We'll spend both or just the one night in the marina.We plan to stay on the entire trip...

Bill on Mystery Girl, Mike on Little Joe, and myself on C-Traveler, have been exploring Dale Hollow Lake by circumventing the entire lake shore. We made it through a bad hail storm, a nasty thunderstorm, and even cruised a day in snow squalls and showers! For the story, see my blog at...

Out on Dale Hollow Lake now for two weeks. Just making sure everything works after the winter, and tweaking some upgrades. :)

That's rediculous if you meant to include 4 zeros. When I had mine built for my 25, about 5 years ago, with three bows, it was about $1,000. One less zero. And was made out of Sunbrella. Of course that was just the bimini, no sides or back. I had one done for my 22 about 14 years ago,and...

Oops, meant SMF, not SAC. ;-)

I'll bring a vegetable side dish. Most likely a 3 bean salad if that's ok. Still not sure if Rosanne will be coming along. Keeping my fingers crossed. :-) If she comes, she'll be either flying out of SFO the morning of the 24th, or out of SAC on the 25th. Colby

Looks like a great turnout. I recognize some of them folk! :-) I'm there in spirit with you all. Rosanne is having a great time and staying busy in El Salvador. (She's with a medical mission group "Helping Hands".) I get a Whats App message from her nightly. Took her and two friends to the...

As someone said, it depends on the height of your boat on the trailer. On my 22, I did use two plastic sleeves made to fit over the tilt and trim pistons, and towed with the outboard trimmed up. But nothing between the motor and the trailer. My 25 sits high enough, that unless I'm going over a...

Just some fond memories I have of the trip in 2023. Looking forward to seeing all and doing it again.
