For those who are interested, NOAA is giving a free lecture on weather forecasting in the PNW on Oct. 20, 7-9PM at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Description Floods, Snowstorms, and Windstorms! Oh My! The Pacific Northwest has a wide variety of weather hazards and ranks among the...

We also keep our boat at Twin Bridges like 20dauntless and like it for the same reasons as they said. There are a few drawbacks like the price of their fuel vs Cap Sante and the extra 30 -45 minutes to get across Rosario. Now if somehow they could magically move Twin Bridges to Skyline.....

Just out of curiosity I googled ethanol. To be fair the following is from the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (in bold). Sorry about this being so long. Ethanol Quick Facts * One acre of corn can produce enough ethanol to run a car for some 72,000 miles on E-10...

IMHO........... 1. We need to ween ourselves off of foreign oil and eventually oil completely. 2. We need to bring back jobs and create jobs in the USA and use USA produced resources whenever possible. Ethanol may not be the best answer or even a good answer but at least it is part of...

Count me in on October 16th Scott......really nice of you to do this. Thanks.

Ron is right on about the hill between Williams Lake and Bella Coola. My family and I still talk about it 20 years after and think about the number of outbound trucks and cars pulled off to the side of the road with steaming radiators. If I remember right there are turnouts with water available...

Our marina has a sign posted that in the near future their fuel would now contain 10% ethanol. Here in WA, all the auto fuel in gas stations seems to contain 10% ethanol. I haven't really noticed or thought about it does marine fuel (or fuel purchased at marine locations) not contain ethanol...

Sorry to hijack my own post but........ Peter- I've seen your boat at Twin Bridges; what size is the inflatable that you have? Thanks

As usual the C-Brats are through and experienced..... There is a radar arch at the back but I believe I can slide be boat under it. The only other obstacle is the anchor light but I don't believe I would have that installed unless the inflatable was in the water. I'd do this myself except I'm...

I want to be sure the inflatable I am planning on buying doesn't overhang too far. Its 7'-9" x 5'-0". Sorry about not being more clear on my intent.

What are the dimensions of the roof of a CD 22? Thanks

Is there a 12v outlet, like a cigarette lighter, in the C Dory? I haven't had a use for one until now and haven't looked. thanks

Has anyone heard of the Endeavor brand of inflatables? Maritime Marine Centers in Seattle says its their store brand. What is the difference between hypalon and PVC? What is the maximum length of inflatable that would fit on the roof of a CD22.......and not look stupid. Thanks for your...

What is the best way to reinsert the rubber bumper? One side of my bumper gets detached (in sections not entirely). I have used a flat blade screwdriver to force it back into place but think there is a better tool to use. thanks

I believe the BMW Oracle did some test runs around the San Juans a while back. We were coming back into Guemes Channel and saw a huge mast sticking in the air. We took a closer look and it was the BMW Oracle moored at a small marina on the south side of the channel. What a neat looking...

Does having permatrim make a difference?

Based on the engine trim gauge on my CD22, where does everyone set the engine trim when running at cruising speed? Most times in the San Juans mine is trimmed a little short of full bow down. Thanks

Thanks for all your thoughtful, knowledgable answers so far......typical of the C-Brats. I thought I'd give a little background for my previous question. We use our C-Dory mainly as transportation between Twin Bridges Marina and Center Island- out from the Swinomish Slough to Padilla Bay, out...

If we were running with the waves or rollers (the waves or rollers are hitting the side of the boat not the bow or stern), what is the maximum angle the boat could roll before rolling completely over. Is there a wave height that would might achieve this angle? Would the flat bottom on the...

Anyone know how much fabric it takes to make curtains for the CD 22. Any ideas on fastening curtains to the windows? We were thinking about magnets. Thanks
