    The tipping point

    Is this the light at the end of the tunnel? Here in Indiana it is dark, dismal and raining and raining and raining. The lake is rising over my docks and I am watching to see if my lift motor goes under. I'm looking forward to a brighter tomorrow. Carpy

    Radar Question

    I got the whole mess wired up today. Thanks to a day and a half of 60 degree temps, a foot of snow and ice vanished. I hauled the boat out of the shop and fired it up. The radar worked well without the rack, with the rack, and with the boat in the rack. Guess I'll be good to go! Thanks...

    Radar Question

    The kayak racks were replaced last year with wooden crib type rack. We now carry an inflatable. It will amount to a large lump of vinyl with aluminum paddles when stowed. I might be able to test it soon, if I get it hooked up and the snow and ice melt. It's a Garmin 18 HD. Bruce

    Radar Question

    I am reinstalling radar on Carpy using the scan strut mount that was on the boat when I bought it. It has a 7 inch rise. I want to keep the 12 inch tall roof rack that I have been using to carry our inflatable kayak, spare fuel jugs, etc. I did a test fit of it all today and I like the way it...

    Wisconsin Lakes Minocqua and Tomahawk

    I have been going to the Minocqua area since family vacations in the 50's. I went there with my family in the 80-90's. It is a beautiful area and I highly recommend it. There are plenty of services. Bosaki's boathouse in Minocqua has fuel and are famous for their ice cream and restaurant...

    Swuanee and Santa Fe, FL

    We have greatly enjoyed the Suwannee and Sante Fe rivers for the past 2 years and will probably return the winter. We encountered very different conditions each time. Two yrs. ago water levels were very low. Seawall foundations were high and dry and we had to "feel" our way through some...

    Dessert 1st to the St. John's River

    Spring Garden Creek is one of our favorite spots on the St. Johns. The birds are fabulous in Feb, don't know about now. Pancakes at Deleon Park is a fun stop. They're almost like desert. Enjoy, Carpy

    Thanks to this site

    Sounds like you found a gem! I love my 22 with the twin 40's, It's a great combination. You have temp and oil pressure idiot lights on your motor controls. I have found them to sufficient. We cruised for 2 yrs. using my now 65 yrs old first mate as our anchor "wench". Last year I...

    09/05 - 09/08 - Mississippi River “Meet In The Middle"

    Due to a tow vehicle problem we are unable to bring Carpy this year. We were loaded, hitched up and ready to go. We got less than 1 mile and it was obvious we had a problem. Not to be completely deterred, we have come boatless. We are in Dubuque at a B&B tonight, Friday and will see our...

    C dory 22 with twin yamaha 40's

    I have twin Honda 40's on my 22 and am very pleased with them. I agree with what has been said above and would only add that from what I have learned the Yamahas are excellent motors and their primary advantage over Hondas is their dealer network and availability of parts. Carpy

    Honda BF40 startup problems

    It sounds like carbs to me. I have twin 40's. I bought them with about 400- hrs and they had been sitting a lot. They ran like crap. I had the carbs rebuilt and have kept ethanol out of the gas and they're are running wonderfully for about 300+ hours now. Those carbs are finicky little...

    Carpy will be in attendance and anxious to see our C-Brat friends. Our plans are uncertain at this point, but we will hope to be there Friday am and think the sandbar dinner sounds like fun. We hope to spend some time on the river while we are there. We have not be south of Dubuque and would...

    Inflatable Kayak

    We bought a Sea Eagle fast track double and have been very pleased with it. It inflates easily, I can do it on the foredeck. It is very stable and tracks well. It packs into a reasonably sized bag and I stow it on a roof rack. It weighs about 35 lbs. Carpy
