I was filling gas one day and this "older" lady filled across the pump from me. When she was done she came around and asked if "that boat was wooden?" When I told her no, she said, "Well an old boat like that should be, Why isn't it?" Kind of did a "humpf" and went of shaking her head. On my...

Please remind us of the size of the stickers, (and the keychains.) Are the stickers only one size? Harvey SleepyC :moon

Seems like there is very much hush hush about this, but I did see that the ferry captain resigned. Sure will be interesting to get the CG investigation report. All the crew were cleared with negative drug tests . . . so what in the world caused this. Harvey SleepyC:moon

Sandy, your circumnavigation is a pretty big accomplishment. It is worth being focused on, as focus helps ensure safety -- a worthy goal. Sightseeing is a byproduct of the trip. Worth doing but only if the goal is maintained. You are doing great so far, and one of the few C-Dorys to round...

WOW, Mike, How cool is that. What a treasure. Worth putting those side by side in a frame --- to keep him reminded of the heritage. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Colby, You do get around, And I really enjoy your photos and articles. Sounds like an interesting trip. Thanks for sharing. And that tire, It sure does look like it got a sidewall bubble that blew out, and then that took that tread core. Hummmm, Curbs, :twisted: They will get you in the...

Good thing about the San Juan's is that it is a relatively short distance from on to the next and the there is generally reasonable good wind protection from some direction, and also, mostly, no long fetches. Are the Ranger folks going to spend some time with you on your new boat? That time...

Hi Mike, Well, my question to you is what is the best polish to use on a crystal ball? I know the professional weatherman can be wrong half the time and still keep his job, but since I'm not professional, I'm concerned about being wrong or right half of the time. By October, the weather is...

The end may not be exactly in sight, but you can see the glow around the corner. Take your time, your are only going around once. Sure sorry the hot pools aren't open. I would have based my whole trip on a couple of hour long soaks there. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Maybe, just storing the trailer up on jack stands and spin the wheels occasionally would do the trick. I have both axles up high enough so I can spin the wheels a few revolutions with my foot every time I go over to the trailer. Harvey SleepyC :moon

Sandy, I got back pretty late., but all safe and sound. I have been contemplating your question. Will have to give it a nights rest and do some more mulling tomorrow. I will be up and off again early Sunday. See you on the dock there tonight and will check track tomorrow PM. Harvey SleepyC...

Sandy, Good to hear you are going to stick around there for Sat. I will be off line until early Sunday if then. Fluid plans. Also, look up the Port Albernie Yacht Club outpost. I believe it is on Fleming Island. I know it is close to Robbers Passage. A good place to spend some dock time...

He didn't spend long in Zabellos and now headed for Tahsis. That tracking device is a really nice feature. Harvey SleepyC :moon

C-BRAT Calendar for 2023 --- Heads-Up Whoa, This is way early. So Good deal, it will ease your Christmas shopping chores. If this goes well, you should be able to have them delivered before Santa puts on his mittens. Yes, This is an early warning for those who are interested. We are looking...

Looks like he dropped the hook in Queens Cove, a bit shy of the towns. There were a couple other boats in his area last night. He is using the InReach to drop the breadcrumbs. Harvey SleepyC :moon

I agree with both of these views. However, an AIS track is not something I would rely on If I had an issue with getting a VHF transmission out. I have been in areas where there was no VFH signal, WX or CG or VTS. Yes, I still transmitted the AIS signal but have no idea if anyone was receiving...

There is a big difference in having "no" AIS and having the receive half vs the active AIS) or transponder. Having AIS receive is as simple as adding, or having an updated VHF with that function. Having the receive function allows you to : 1. Stay out of the way of the commercial traffic 2...

With 5 degree increments, you may want to try what I have done in the past. Even with a plotter, There are times (Crossing Juan de Fuca, 25 miles in heavy fog), that I will intentionally aim for a spot that is a half mile or so in a known direction from my intended pass entry, so that when I do...

I agree with Chris, I think he is onto something and you (the boat) need to be moving for the GPS and AIS to do their computing and locating. Harvey SleepyC :moon
