No need to look any further than a 15lb Manson Supreme. Martin.

Conover Cove, on Walker, would also be good, although it is very popular and getting a campsite might be chancy. I do not remember campsites at Conover Cove, Wallace Island. Campers seemed to pitch their tents with any bit of level grass of their choosing. Martin.

I agree. Conovor Cove on Wallace Island is #1. There is a small parks dock for 8 or 9 boats. If that is full, you can anchor to the left or right of the dock (as you approach) using a stern tie. Martin.

Harvey, the best fish & chipper ever in the whole world is a little chipper by the Firth of Forth road bridge in Scotland. Bit of a long run for a C-Dory :lol: Martin.

Such a shame we will miss you guys. Tree (Sandy) Island is a very popular spot for us if we are just out for a night or two. Friday morning we are putting on our smog masks and heading for the interior. Have fun. Martin and Andrea.

Goo-Gone and/or a hair dryer has worked for me. Martin.

Good to hear from you Ian. Plan to cram in as much as possible before we head south to our other home for the winter. Is'nt retirement great :) Say hi to Jackie. Martin.

Hi Tom, C-Dory's are tough well made boats. The Camano is the same but a couple of sizes up. Yes, Jamie & Denise in the Comox Valley switched to the Troll. Martin.

18 knots if she's set up right. Martin.

Let me know Jason what pans out? Martin.

Comox to PR is the shortest route across the Strait. At the speed you do, maybe an hour max. Martin.

Walmart in the Comox Valley banned overnight parking last summer. Rumour was that Walmart is banning overnight parking everywhere. Best to check ahead. Martin.

Fred, let us know your schedule. We will be back out on the water early August. Martin and Andrea.

With Nomad sold, I did not want to say to much about our new (to us) boat until the documentation and insurance was in place. This has now happened and we are on our way as foot passengers this weekend to Anacortes. The new boat is a Camano Troll 31. Next weekend is the annual Camano gathering...

Hi Pat, Monk 36s are neat boats, but to much boat for me. Lots of woodwork to look after. I want zero exterior maint (like the C-Dory) and a max length of 32ft so that it will go in my marina slip. Wow you guys are busy, good for you. See you in 2018. Martin and Andrea.

Pat, you are a good friend. If you front up the first 50k (I'll pay you back later) I'll get a Monk 36 :) Hope we meet again before this season ends. Martin.

NOMAD has sold. Her new mom and dad are Gina and Kyle from Victoria, Vancouver Island. They are a very nice young couple who are looking forward to many boating adventures and meeting some of you C-Brats out there. I would like to thank all of you who contacted me when the boat came on the...

If I still had my old house with the long driveway, you would be welcome to park up for free as long as you want. Unfortunately since downsizing, that is no longer an option. Surely there must be someone in the Comox Valley who can help out? Maybe they will see this message? Martin.

Congrats Mark, very pleased for you. A few weeks ago, you and I talked about retirement. Enjoy your new position but don't leave the big "R" to long. I retired two and a half years ago. Just love it. Wish I had done it earlier. Martin.

When we started going to the Friday Harbor gathering 5 years ago, the only place we could get non-ethanol gas was at Rosario Resort. Now Roche and Friday Harbor have non-ethanol. I know La Connor is also non-ethanol. I feel so much happier cruising in the San Juans now :D Martin.
