    Ethanol-free gas for boaters

    In order to not add one more new thread to the C-Brat site, I resurrected this 2007 thread since the title is appropriate for the following comment. Yesterday I viewed the site puregas.com and was surprised to learn that the fuel dealer (Nelson Petroleum in Arlington, Washington) that I've used...

    Congratulations to the new Bride and Groom. Did the groom give you a new C-Dory as condition for her hand in marriage? :wink

    Washington Park (Anacortes) or La Conner to park?

    The route via exit 253 (Lakeway Drive) is the way I kind of prefer as it is a bit more direct, but my wife does not like it because it takes you right through the downtown streets of Bellingham....doesn't bother me... :roll: So the recommended route and less "city traffic" congested is to...

    Washington Park (Anacortes) or La Conner to park?

    Dustin, If I'm not mistaken there are C-Brats that have parked there for a couple of months at a time with no problems. Personally, I've parked there for 10 days with no problem.....HOWEVER....and there always seems to be an "however"... :roll: ...several years ago, our well known fellow...

    Boat Insurance

    Over the years, the boat insurance topic has arisen a number of times. As I recall, quite a few Washington C-Brats have Progressive. Naturally, it is wise to "shop around" as what was best last year might not be best this year. Personally, I still have Progressive for the C-Dory and it's...

    Washington Park (Anacortes) or La Conner to park?

    Dustin, one launch site that has not been mentioned and is my favorite when I cruise the San Juans and Canada is Bellingham. Although Bellingham is a farther drive, there are a number of plus factors. 1) Parking for your tow rig and trailer is free. (You just pay $7.00 to launch)...

    Looking for nice overnight cruises from Seattle / Everett

    Port Orchard and Poulsbo offer good marina facilities plus the convenience of quaint communities to explore. (Be certain to wander into the bakery in Poulsbo). Blake Island offers a feel of remoteness very close to Seattle with fantastic views of the Seattle skyline and Mt. Rainier. (No shore...

    Waveheight, NOAA, NBDC, Weather, etc

    Dustin, In looking at the site it appears that "Waverider" Buoys" are not equipped to monitor wind speeds. However, it you click on the "Meteorological Observations for Nearby Stations and Ships" you can locate wind speeds and wind gusts in nearby Latitude and Longitude locations as the...

    building a Boat House for a CD 22'

    Jim, Yes it does appear that you have landscaping (ie: earth moving) challenges to deal with. The name of the company that constructed our building is Spane Buildings in Stanwood, Washington. They have a good web site with pictures of many of the buildings they have constructed. Perhaps...

    C-Dory Sightings

    Around noon yesterday while enjoying Fathers Day brunch at the Hearthfire Restaurant in Bellingham I observed "Reef Madness" returning to port and saw another Tomcat departing port....unfortunately since the name of that vessel appeared to be in cursive writing, I was unable to discern what the...

    Hi Jim, Finally getting back to you from a very busy weekend. (Our daughter graduated from Western Washington University on Saturday....needless to say, a very busy and happy time in our lives!). Anyhow, here is the information I promised you.....Your 40 foot anticipated depth of the...

    building a Boat House for a CD 22'

    Hi JIm, Look at page 2 and 3 of my photos album and you will see pix of my shop. The page 3 photo has all of the dimensions listed underneath the photo. You will see that I recommend 12 foot wide doors instead of the 10 foot wide that I have. Additional, if I were to build it again, I'd go...

    C-Dory or Arima as Fire Department / Fire Rescue Boat

    Inthrewtheoutdor, I just sent you a "pm" (Personal Message) with my telephone number. If you call me, I can perhaps offer some helpful suggestions. (If you look at the header on the site you will see a header alerting you that you have a message....click on that).

    C-Dory or Arima as Fire Department / Fire Rescue Boat

    Hi Roger.....the short answer is both of them together would cost less than that new granddaughter of yours is going to cost her parents when she is done with expenses all the way through college.... :lol: BTW...Congratulations! (Our daughter graduates from WWU this week....so no more tuition...

    C-Dory or Arima as Fire Department / Fire Rescue Boat

    "Inthrewtheoutdor" welcome to C-Brats. As you know getting a patient into most any small vessel while they are on a backboard presents a real challenge. With the cabin on the C-Dory you are further limited to good "working" cockpit area. Additionally, you state that you are launching from a...

    Managing TC-255 storage problems

    I'm not certain that I would refer to the reference of this being a "new" thread in this case since it is dated 2007....However, it does emphasize that there are volumes of historical threads on this site that offer a wealth of ideas and knowledge. I would guess that it would take an individual...
