Hi Jim, Dora~Jean will bring a Caesar Salad. I’ll mail the check tomorrow. Thanks, Steve

Hi Karl, glad you’ll be joining us, it will be a trip you’ll remember for sure. On the striper fishing, I can say a few words. In many years past, we have tried very exotic bait tying and presentation, but when they’re not hungry, it doesn’t seem to matter. In the last couple of years, the...

I can add a little to the discussion regarding some pros and cons (mostly positive) of the CD25 (which I’ve owned for 20 yrs since new). I’ve never owned a CD22, but have compared some aspects of performance while boating with groups of CD22’s and having ridden a few CD22’s on day trips. I...

Yes, quarters.

Hi all. This very same thing happened last year. All of a sudden, a flurry of activities right on top of this week. Last year it was my wife in Virginia and me with the animals at home. The turtle and dog went to neighbors and relatives, the parrot came with me. This year with have relatives...

I have a separate Link 10 monitor for each starter battery which are DIRECTLY connected to their respective engine (twin Yami 80’s). I typically read 14.5-14.8VDC on each engine. That’s just a tad higher than automobile regulators are set for (older ones at least). I believe they run outboard...

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I can weigh in on the particulars of damage to marine engines caused by Ethanol. My understanding is that it primarily affects carbureted engines because the gas (w/Ethanol) can erode the aluminum surfaces of the carb(s) while sitting in the fuel bowl for...

Last year, the MDR slip people required proof of boat insurance as well. All you need is your Declaration Page, either printed or as a pdf accessible on your phone.

I too will be checking my caliper pins, looks like a failure waiting to happen. There is one thing I've pondered since owning an EOH system. The electronic controller mounted on the tow vehicle's dash area might be a contributor. My Tekonsha has 3 boost levels to send a steep pressure gradient...

Sweet. Too bad about the calipers and pins. That's something that would even be new for me! Hope to be there tomorrow late afternoon just before closing.

I just downloaded the CBP Roam app. It looks a little intimidating to learn its use. But I'm sure it will become clearer when needing to use it.

Colby, thanks for the tip on Nebo. I downloaded it, seems to be a good app for finding those in your group (as long as we have cell coverage that is). I see that I'm at "anchor" in my side yard. Hint, you have to start & stop a voyage (only once) to get your boat to appear. And Martin, thanks...

Ditto on Colby's plans. We will be the caboose on the Brock-Colby train.

For shipping costs, you can suggest USPS, they are usually the cheapest, but also the longest, like 4-5 days. On the stuck sliding windows, even with particular attention to making sure to flush the areas with fresh water around the bottom and front of the sliding windows after every trip...

Ok, I'll bite. The single vs twins can be more of an emotional debate rather than technical. I've owned 15 boats, 8 were power. My CD25 is the first with twins. Here's my experience: 1) Yes, maintenance is more costly, but it has been a minor cost of ownership compared to other costs and...

I'm in need of a recommended Marine Atlas or group of charts I can use as a backup to get from Anacortes to Friday Harbor, and then to Nanaimo through to the PLI. I'll need these if I get separated from the group. My trusty Garmin Chartplotter (3206) was obsoleted by the factory, so I'm unable...

OK, thanks guys, dingy's coming along.

Hello experienced FH and PLI people. Thanks for the links and posts of past PLI visits, it really helps me get a feel for what to expect. Being a SoCal guy and having never been North of the San Francisco Bay in my boat, I have a question on whether or not to bring my raft (65 lbs) and dingy...

Very interesting and important subject. My wife and I are with Kaiser. I'm under Medicare and the Senior Advantage Plan (at no cost). I opened a chat session with Kaiser this morning. They said I'm fully covered world-wide, which surprised me. I asked further what if I was to be airlifted in an...

Please add another boat, I've signed up, blame Colby... And I'd like to go to the Princess Louise Inlet tour. I'll PM Catman. thanks
