Well it is a New Year and although I haven't been so active it is time to rattle the C-Brat tip jar. So I have two items for sale. Buyer pays me shipping and and everything left over goes to the tip jar. This will be an auction that closes in one week at Noon, January 8, 2010 Eastern...

Single handing through locks has been discussed a few time includingHere.

I will speak only to the 22. I prefer the decraguard interior. For all the reasons stated, warmer, more adaptable, better access, better customization, etc. I think the decragauard interior doesn't look as finished as the molded interior when the boat is brand new. But once it is adjusted and...

Here is a collection of photos of the Miss River in September, 2006. Beautiful time of year. Includes a couple pics of the Landing.Mississippi in September

You mean this place? In 2001 the spring flood came up to the 2nd step of the motel. The owner has a fishing barge across the river and quite close to the dam. Regards, Mark

Dear Robert, First start thinking LDB and RDB that means left descending bank and right descending bank. No use using East and West as there are one or two turns <g>.. I also found pools 3, 4, 5, 6 to be a bit more scenic that 9, 10 , 11. My trip was in September, 2006. Read El and Bills...

Good on you both. I bet Sharon participated in all of the water gun fights! It is a lovely cruise destination. I like the area as a safe cruising destination even in late fall. The two state parks are deserted. One fall I was the only one at Aloha park period. Mark

Robert, If you want to boat a day while waiting, you could explore the Beaver Island archipelago. The harbor at St. James has nice shower house, etc, high docks, cheap state prices. Expensive island gas available at commercial marina to the west (also in St. James harbor, the only real harbor in...

Hi Robert, Hi Rollie, I have docked and anchored at Rock Island. Manistique has high docks and you go thru a tunnel (under road) to get to downtown. There is a small harbor of refuge at Naubinway with bathrooms. If you made it all the way to St. Ignace it has a deluxe harbor with nice floating...

Toms grocery store is very close to docks, be sure to go to Barbs bakery early for cinnamon twists. Lighthouse is a good bike ride. Northport is great altho teens may think boring compared with TC. Also sometimes NP has the cheapest gas.

Reminder that we have two boats booked in at Kemp Marina at the Soo, and some sent regrets, and more are welcome. Some shots from recent years. Paul Tregurtha 1013 feet slides by right outside marina entrance. Upbound ore boat and downbound saltie from Kemp marina. Edward L. Ryerson, an...

Please delete redundant post, screwed up the pictures but see below. thanks,

Please delete redundant post, oops

I use Big Jon downriggers. I have three bases mounted on boat, port, starboard and stern admidships (on a well supported shelf). The rod holders can be used with the downriggers in place or without for other trolling. I use three rod holders on each side and two on the stern. When not mounted...

I did this a few years ago. Some pictures in my album. I see I need to update lots of pics but the lines are pictured. They are still very taut, tighter when it it is hot and the roof expands. You can turn one eyebolt 90 degrees if they are too tight. I used a stopper knot at one end, and a sewn...

Bob makes some excellent points, (of course) plus the trailer doesn't help, also PW Sound has variation of 22 degrees with local variations along that coast of up to 14 degrees more in places. Not sure if you are taking that into account? Regards,

May nor be much help for you but I mount my planer reels to the sides of the radar arch. Works well, easy reach from cockpit. I use the rod holders that I otherwise use for downrigger fishing, three aside and two in back. I don't use the big boards that much but the day may come when I have more...

Hi Tug, If you cross the river you can visit with a couple of 22s (maybe more?) on June 26, 27. We will be at Kemp marina. Not for sale and Not For Hire either but sometimes a guest ride. Mark

When I learned that Engineers Day was on June 26, 2009, (I have buddies that say this is very worthwhile). And that the Boat Nerds were gonna be there go here and then to calendar of events and that wonderful Kemp marina takes reservations reservations I made my reservation for...

Flying, welcome aboard. Great idea for a trip. Lives in the imagination of lots of folks thanks to Mark Twain and others. There are several threads if you search for them. I did a small segment Minn, Wis, a bit of Iowa, a couple of years ago and put up some pictures - Mississippi Trip. There...
