We are back in the house, "camping" there while waiting for a buyer. Having some painting and yard work done next week but by the time of the Gathering we should have all that behind us and are looking forward to rejoining the Brats! Warren

What brand is this, Bob? Warren

Many of the less-desirable dog life vests out there consist of flotation and straps fastened underneath the flotation. The problem with this is that the straps then cut into the dog's body when the flotation (or handle) is supporting the dog. The ones we bought have the straps stitched to the...

That is essentially the same for us although our current target date for listing the house is Memorial Day -- essentially the same as yours. But as soon as the house sells we are off to Salt Lake to buy or build our new "fall & spring" house. Warren

Wow, that's an adventure, for sure. I've signed up for email alerts from your blog, so please blog early and blog often! Warren

Speaking of fuel costs I was very pleasantly surprised with the MPG I got going to Baja and back with the Duramax hauling the big Arctic Fox camper -- low was about 9 while climbing mountains but I got as high as 14 and my overall average was about 12.5. It was usually about 10 pulling the Tom...

Thanks, Matt. Yes, I do add stabilizer and yes the is likely to have ethanol in it. Is there an additive I should add before starting to increase my chances of success? Warren

Good point. My Yamaha 150s are fuel injected. I do drain the carbs of the Honda 40s (on the 22) whenever I put that boat away. Warren

Bob, I don't know if the engines were fogged, but I can ask the dealer if that is their normal practice. I doubt it because IIRC I had the service done at the beginning of the last season but never put the boat in the water, so the dealer most likely was not operating on the premise that the...

Sorry -- They are Yamaha 150s and all the service you mentioned including the impellers was done last year. Warren

As some of you may know, last year was not a good year for me and boating. Due to health issues I did not take the boat out once. :amgry I did have the motors serviced about a year ago, though. I am hoping someone knowledgeable like Larry H will see this and advise me whether it is necessary...

Welcome to the Arctic Fox family! We love our AF camper -- served us almost flawlessly during 2 months of continuous use this winter. We are considering buying a used pull trailer (possibly an AF) to leave in Baja. Where did you buy yours? Warren

Hey, Richard -- Lori and I are selling the Anacortes house and moving back to Utah, mostly to be closer to the kids but also because the WA winters ultimately proved to be too hard on Lori (fibromyalgia, etc.) However, I am keeping the Skyline slip and storing the Tom Cat in the covered facility...

If I had the money, I would buy a 33' Ocean Sport Roamer. But since I don't I am very happy with my Tom Cat and 22. Warren

I vote for Sydney Sept 6-8 also. Warren

Sad, but very true. Warren

Just wanted to share the love :smileo that I have for Snow Fresh holding tank treatment. I have used it on my boat for a couple of years and I am using it in the camper on my Baja trip and it works better than any other solution that I have tried from West Marine, Fisheries Supply or Camping...

Charlie, I went to your album hoping to find photos of your genset -- wondering if you had it in a box to protect it or just kept it in the cockpit and put it on the swim step when you needed to use it? In your album I found the 2 photos of the Bolger catboat -- one of my favorite sailboats...
