Thanks Harvey, but I certainly don't consider myself a hero....I'm just one of many folks that are at the right place at the right time to be able to help others in their time of need.

Yep...I'm still here and yes like Bris's son I shook his hand on Tuesday. When we were shaking hands I presented him with our fire department's challenge coin. After he handed it to his aide for safe keeping, he turned around to me again and slipped his Presidential coin in my hand. Not long...

Today was another productive day. Since we will be searching again tomorrow, we are staying the night in Darrington at the home of a local resident. The townspeople are truly generous in all they are doing for us. Hot homecooked breakfasts, sack lunches in the field and hot homecooked meals in...

Good Morning my fellow C-Brats and thank you for your prayers and concerns. When Mark texted me this morning I realized that all of you wonderful folks were thinking of those affected by this horrific event. I was on the initial "call out" of this incident at 1057 HRS Saturday morning. From...

Perfect Storm would be a good choice then you would feel better about being warm and cozy inside and out of the soggy PNW ..... :crook :disgust

In years past a boater could get away with following the ferry as you suggest, but now you will most likely find one of the USCG vessels or if you are really lucky.. :shock: .....one of those fancy Homeland Security vessels with multiple high horsepower outboards bearing down on you. (They are...

I purchased a stainless flag/burgee mast at West Marine and it clamps down just fine on the forward curve of the bow rail. Had the same one on my former 16' Cruiser bow rail as well.

Additionally Patrick, for us guys more aged than you, we get the same 20 percent deal as above on Super Senior Wednesday, which occurs on the 1st Wednesday of each month. :smilep

Received my new Burgee today also. I'm thinking that any C-Brat that did not order one is going to very envious when they observe one of these flying proudly on another's vessel. Thank you Bill! Job well done!

Hi Charlie, If I'm not mistaken the "cut off" is.....no counter rotating props in outboards less than 100 HP. Additionally, I don't detect any noticeable prop walk with our twin 50 HP Johnson's that are both rotating clockwise. As a side note, our 22' spins in its' own length easily with our...

I now consider the banner to be the property of our "C-Brat Virtual Yacht Club". I had a local beer distributing company years ago (when Mike and Bill first started the C-Brat site) print it up for me. At that time the printing on the banner was the "headline" on the C-Brat Site homepage. The...

Good live footage of the fire on the news now.

InfraRed Thermometer. Handy to have. Another good use for them is to check your trailer hub temperatures.

I have had on two occasions. The first time I didn't have a replacement thermostat with me, so would motor along on my twin engine until the overheated one cooled down, then would run it until the alarm sounded again and shut it down again. The second time I had a replacement thermostat and...

I vote Thermostat. I keep a spare on board and it only takes 15 minutes to change it out. :lol:

I remembered that the U. S. Coast Guard had changed the weight capacity for the Washington State Ferry System a couple of years ago so I just "googled" the topic and came up with the following information which I will quote different segments of the article........ "On December 1, 2011 the...

These removable panels were an available option from the factory before 2006 as I ordered them in 2003 for our new 2004. Personally, I wouldn't be without them as we didn't have any such panels on our previous 16' and used another less desirable method to attempt to level the floor and keep our...

Unless my memory is fading due to my aging brain, I believe Sam told me at the boat show that he still has and still uses his C-Dory. :thup

In honor of the Seahawks....we could adopt the chant as ....... Sea....Brat Sea....Brat Sea....Brat :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen:

Good Roger, That jeist about sums it up. :lol:
