    Pacific Northwest Weather - first hand experience

    Baxter, we lived in Cheyenne for a few years. If it wasn't for the crazy winds it could be a possibility for the summer. Robhwa, one of the reasons we didn't feel bad leaving CO when we did was we started to get sick of all the forest fires. Some of our favorite areas were destroyed and the...

    Pacific Northwest Weather - first hand experience

    Looks beautiful. Thanks. Will be fun to watch. Forgive my ignorance of the San Juans...looks like Friday Harbor has some small grocery stores but major shopping is via a ferry to somewhere else?

    Pacific Northwest Weather - first hand experience

    Once travel becomes safe again we'll plan a trip out there. What are some cities we should visit that are in the "rain shadow?" Sequim, Port Angeles... I really believe it's probably the type of place one has to experience to understand the weather. I'm looking online at various webcams and...

    Pacific Northwest Weather - first hand experience

    Weather Spark is a pretty cool website that does a good job of showing the general weather trends for an area, including humidity. It does make Orcas Island look quite comfortable. Other areas that might be nice are Sequim, Port Washington, and Port Townsend. We've definitely outgrown hot...

    Pacific Northwest Weather - first hand experience

    That's pretty much what I've heard and expected. Too bad...beautiful area with the combination of mountains and water that we love. And we're so fortunate to have the Bay right out our front door here in the Annapolis area but the humidity really saps the enjoyment out of being outdoors. I do...

    Pacific Northwest Weather - first hand experience

    Hello PNW C-Brats, My wife and I currently live in Annapolis and we're trying to determine where we want to retire. I'm about 12 years out so we have some time. We love the water, and the Chesapeake Bay is great, but the summer heat and humidity coupled with the bugs is too much for my wife...

    Bleed Baystar Steering

    Replaced the seals and bled the lines. Seemed to work. Was out for a few hours today everything worked smoothly. Thanks for the directions.

    Bleed Baystar Steering

    Thanks everyone. Think I got it. I may try just topping it off (within 1/4" of threads) and see how smoothly it steers. If there's any hesitation then I'll bleed it per Colby's directions. Appreciate the help.

    Bleed Baystar Steering

    Thanks Boris. Yours is the one I was able to find. I don't have a "bleeder" though. I purchased the tube that connects to the fluid bottle and filler opening on the helm. I swear there were instructions somewhere about simply opening the bleeder valves at the motor, turning the helm one way...

    Bleed Baystar Steering

    Hello all, I just replace my steering system seals due to a leak. Now I'm having trouble finding the thread with simple instructions on how to bleed the system. I thought someone provided instructions, with no special equipment, just open the bleed valves, turn the wheel one way, and then the...

    Removing rust spots

    Bar Keeper's Friend worked great. I've looked at installing some solar powered vents but so far, leaving the windows and hatches cracked open seems to work fine. Even in some heavy downpours we haven't gotten water in the cabin. (except through the seals on the cabin door...but that's a...

    Removing rust spots

    Thataway, Thanks for the info. Hopefully bar keeper's friend will work on in. Good to know the cause, it's not just humidity. I assume the dehumidifier you mentioned requires AC power? Unfortunately I don't have shore power at the slip. I keep a few windows cracked and she's actually stayed...
