Thank you Tom. How much do I owe you for shipping?

For all the reasons stated we are planning to put in at Valdez and avoid Whittier except for fuel when on that side of the Sound. Valdez truck and trailer parking is only $4.25/day dockside and cheaper yet with a five minute walk. Good advice. Thank you.

Thanks for all of the good discussion. I like the theme of just paying the price without regrets for not having gone on the adventure. Boating is defiantly a privilege we are fortunate to be able to enjoy. Being brought up by frugal, depression era parents, at times I feel a bit guilty about...

All the indicators are that fuel prices will significantly increase. This will obviously impact some of our boating plans. We can all decide for ourselves what led us here. My interest was not to start a political discussion but rather to keep current on marine fuel prices. Our tentative plans...

Would love to have them Tom and would gladly pay shipping. Pam sent

It appears the Canadian Covid testing requirement is loosening up a bit. https://waggonerguide.com/government-of ... lmX_cobT9c

I installed the Wallas 1300 last year. I have been using Jet A fuel after talking with Scan Marine. I get it at the pump at the local airport and it is half the cost of kerosine.

Jay, I do have NMEA 2000 networked between the motor and the plotter so maybe the auto pilot is compatible. However, the Reactor 40 I was looking at did not list my 740s as compatible. Sounds like some black magic involved🙂

Good info as always Jay. I’m in the early stages of shopping for an autopilot. We have the Garmin 740s chart plotter. The plotter may be old enough that it is not compatible it’s any of the new autopilots. Otherwise, I am content with the plotter. Is an autopilot functional without being...

After some study of the CBSA rules, it appears there is some allowance for medical exemptions to vaccination, however it does not allow any exemption for non discretionary travel such as ours would be. Thank you for the reply. Ken

Question for our Canadian friends? Does Canada accept a medical exemption to the vaccine for border crossing at this time? Due to health issues, a close family member has been advised to absolutely not get vaccinated and has a medical exemption from two doctors. I have not yet contacted CBSA...

I concur with Peter. There are many places to use the Magma on Scotty mounts. Our 22 is set up so the BBQ will slip into a mount on either side if moored, the splash well or for traveling, inside the cockpit. I also have the Scotty mounts on the bass boat, pickup camper and horse trailer so...

Auto pilot is the next upgrade we are considering for Lochsa, our 22’ cruiser. We have a 2021 Honda BF90, Baystar hydraulic steering and a Garmin 740s chart plotter. i also have the NMEA 2000 connected between the motor and chart plotter. Because all the other components are Garmin I’m...

Here is a link to the daily Situation Report from the National Interagency Coordination Center in Boise, ID. It only depicts US activity, but also captures wildland firefighter assistance to and from other countries such as Canada. https://www.nifc.gov/nicc/sitreprt.pdf Another interesting...

Great to hear you made it, safely and legitimently. You are heroes🙂. Always admire folks who can figure out how to make it work when others might throw in the towel. Ken

That will be sweet. We are using our recently installed Wallas 1800 for the first time this week and very impressed with it. Ken

Just replaced wiper blades on our 99 22’ cruiser. NAPA Classic, 6-1233. Pleasant surprise... In stock, done deal. Ken

So I am not a doctor. I hope no one is taking their medical advice from this thread. I assure you my friend is suffering a severe reaction to the vaccine, according to her doctors who continue to run tests to determine a treatment strategy. Personally, I consulted my personal physician before...

Sorry had no intention of drawing the rath of others, just poking fun at the absurdity of the situation.

I respect Canadian officials keeping the border closed, especially when the US promotes the free flow of illegal immigrants on our southern border, many of which carry the COVID virus.
