Wait a minute! I've got an extra set too, in Seattle. Tim

Absolutely! I do it all the time. My primary forward dockline is fifty feet long, and the middle of this line is secured to the bow cleat. One tail runs down the starboard side of the boat, and the other runs down the port side. When I come to a dock, I step off the boat with a stern line and a...

Not sure if this is helpful, but I'm pretty happy with the "Perfect Bungy" solution, which I just wrote about at Navagear. And yes, that white plastic thing is a patch covering the hole where my windlass used to be. At Friday Harbor, you can me to pontificate at length on the following topic...

This won't work for my oddball blades, but I like the creativity!

I've got one pair left, but I'm not sure which Seattle-area recipient they are intended for.

"The new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!" I've got five pair, and I only need one pair. I'm not collecting money, mind. I'm just passing them along. Pay your $77.98 to Joel. I'm in north Seattle, in the Greenwood neighborhood. I could also pass them along in Bellevue, if...

I've no doubt replacements exist, but finding them has already taken up more time than it's worth. I've just polished them up with Barkeeper's Friend, and they look presentable at this point, so I'm putting them back on the boat! If I felt like spending more time on it, I would use a genuine...

I'm not having any luck. Very frustrating. Fisheries Supply no. West Marine no. Schuck's no. Action Auto Parts no. And about a thousand Google searches no. Jeep Willys blades are 10" or 11", and I need 12". At this point, I'm going to try to polish up the existing blade assembly. Then I merely...

Additional info: I got one of the blade assemblies apart, and the name "ANCO" appears there. So my blades are apparently from Anco. Anyone?

Apparently, my boat has completely unique wiper arms/blades, even though the motor assembly looks pretty standard. I can't find a blade refill, or even a blade assembly, that looks the same. I've searched the threads here, and if the information is already on the site, I can't find it. It's...

I don't claim to be an expert, but I did go through Deception and/or Canoe Passes more than 70 times last season! I was a tour guide for Deception Pass Tours, and on my days off I literally "played" in the passes aboard Two Lucky Fish. My favorite is going dead-in-the-water and letting the...

It isn't about C-Dory, but the word "C-Dory" is mentioned in the article: It's in the story about sea lions: Tribes help haze sea lions to save salmon on Columbia

I could take delivery of those and distribute them. I live in north Seattle, and commute out to Bellevue.

I plug my Class B AIS into my laptop using a Kayspane serial-to-USB converter, and that provides my own location plus AIS data. No radar, no depth sounder, no engine instrumentation. That's all on the installed Raymarine plotter. Despite the admittedly rinky-dink installation I've got going...

Lyle, I want to see this in operation! You going to be at Friday Harbor?

Coastal Explorer. Even if the charts weren't quite as good as some other app, the extremely intuitive UI would still be a winner. The fact that the chart presentations also happen to be among the best makes this a very simple choice. Full disclosure: I'm not paid by Rose Point, but I do count...

Very helpful, Larry. It helps me feel confident with my own choice :-)

Joel, sign me up for a pair, if you please. I'm SICK of having everything soaking wet in there. Plus it'll fit one of the commercially available propane tanks, unlike the stock hatches.
