Same moon in Ventura, CA! I was just pointing it out to the kids. We have about a month of clear weather before we get socked in for most of the summer.

I can't say whether that is a fair price, but as a reference you might check the Market Place Reference Forum to see what has sold in the past. While the actual selling price is not listed in many cases you can see the asking price over time which can give you a sense. Obviously, equipment and...

It's true. Some prius drivers drive kinda slow out of stoplights so as to maximize mpg. When I first got my car I was so mezmorized by the data display, and like the rest of the prius crowd was so busy looking at my dash that I almost rear-ended the car in front of me -- another prius driving...

I drive 110 miles RT to work. Now that my kids are out of the carpool stage I was able to trade in my Taurus wagon -- which was a great car on everything except mpg. I bought a Prius last year -- I average 48 mpg without much change in my driving habits. I save about $150 a month in fuel...

We've made the trip a couple of times during the summer -- leaving from Ventura. It's a relatively easy trip, but my recommendation would be to take 3 days -- we stop and camp near Redding, then Portland, then Anacortes. Avoiding Seattle traffic is a great hint -- but if you leave Portland in...

Before replacing the cable -- which seems relatively new (2005), you might remove the cable from the tilt tube, clean and regrease. I had my cable freeze up and with some annual maintenance have not had a problem since. See prior discussion here: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?p= ...

I just bought a 2012 Highlander V-6 -- I expect it to be a great tow vehicle for the 22. Of course, my last tow vehicle was a 1999 Sienna with 180000 miles on it. We tow about 3000 miles each summer. I'll let you know how it goes! Matt

Phil, These are phenomenal! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations Marty! Best, Matt

Bob, My dad's boat was the Aphrodite (it was the 70s) -- a Catalina 38 -- based on the old Sparkman and Stephens Yankee 38 -- Frank Butler apparently bought the mold and built a fun and stout racer/cruiser that was used for the Congressional Cup match races for a number of years. I'm sure...

Thanks for posting this Bob -- and thanks for posting the story link Charlie. At the bottom of the LA Times link from Charlie was a very interesting archive of the LA Times original articles from 1981. Well worth the read. I also have a close relationship with the Isthmus -- and remember the...

Avalon is at its best during the late Fall. The restaurants overall are nothing to speak of, but the Santa Catalina Island Co opened a new place called the Avalon Grille last year -- managed by a professional management team and very good (though not inexpensive). I've been a number of times...

Is there any significant performance difference between the iPad I and iPad II?

I make coffee almost every day I am on the boat (a couple times a week) and I just use the alcohol stove. Quick enough, cheap enough. On the down side, a sweet alcohol odor so I need to crack the door.

We've launched in Berkeley -- great ramp, ample parking. I think it was $15 a day. Easy ride to San Francisco if one ducks below Treasure Island. It would also be an easy ride to Sausalito if one beats the afternoon winds and chop. The only problem -- you would not have access to your truck...

We tow the 22 with a Toyota Sienna -- we keep the boat as light as possible with little or now fluids and we have had no problem. Slow up the mountains for sure. Stopping power has been fine. We do take the extra step of having our trailer brakes serviced before long trips -- and we maintain...
