Glad nobody was hurt Charlie. It looks like there was no damage to the rig, and that's a good thing as well. Stay safe, Al

Checking in from Oriental... C-Gypsy is happily sitting on her trailer at Mobile East Marine. Pam & I bought groceries that do not need to be cooked, as electricity in Oriental is questionable during any storm. We also bought a couple cases of bottled water and some beer. We put the van on...

Years ago (in our sailing days) Pam had a small coffeepot we heated on a butane stove. It was part of our morning routine. I do not function very well without my morning coffee! One morning when the coffee was ready we had several "river rats" banging on the side of the cabin with their coffee...

Congratulations Les! :beer :thup :thup :thup :thup :thup :thup :thup :thup :thup

Thank you Sir! I for one have been wondering how you are doing. Sorry to hear about your domestic issues, but it is what it is. Before moving to NC I went 5 years without television. I actually enjoyed not being tied to the "boob tube"! I have a friend who has been living aboard a Tomcat...

Outstanding photo. Makes me homesick for a place I've never been! :mrgreen:

Outstanding article. Thanks for the link!

Tug, I'm no authority, but have a lot of experience pulling trailers. I drove tractor-trailer for 29 years including pulling doubles for UPS across the mountains of Pennsylvania for most of those years. Backing a dual axle trailer is easier because the trailer turns more slowly. Just remember...

Yep. Go with this one. I had one for years on my Nimble Arctic. Inexpensive & always works.

Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to provide the link! Al

Jim? Somehow I think my day WAS more fun than yours! :mrgreen: But I digress... The next few days I'll be working my fool head off paying for the time I spent playing! :beer :beer :beer

El & Bill, Thanks for your reply. There really is nothing quite like the Neuse. And Oriental is in a world all its own! Many times I've seen the Neuse go from being a purring kitten to a raging lion in 30 minutes flat. Interesting. As for Oriental, it never changes. The people are crazy. The...

Took C-Gypsy out to play on the Neuse yesterday. A few hours of pure joy. Nothing like a little Neuse Juice under the keel, eh? Left Smith Creek & headed for Minnesott Beach. A few miles past Minnesott we did a 180 and headed for Whittaker Point Marina. We averaged 12 ~ 16 knots with a few...

Wait a minute... She's starting to look special again...

Nothing special but she's finally back in the water!

As previously posted, moth balls are a good idea. They have worked for me with various & sundry pests. Steel wool works nicely, as almost no critter will chew through it. If you find a hole anywhere fill it with steel wool. Neither mice nor minks... There is also the option of going with the...

Welcome aboard Andy! Congratulations on your decision and your purchase. You are correct in that there is a plethora of information available on this site, along with some of the friendliest people I've ever "met"! Al

Good to hear that yet another company knows how to treat its customers! Thank you for your post. I'm sure Jabsco would thank you too if they read C-Brats! :mrgreen: Al

I agree with everyone, this is truly a wonderful website. I visit the site almost every evening. Always something new to read & something to learn. Thanks to the mods, your efforts are appreciated! Al
