I have tried twice to upload my pictures, both times unsuccessfully, I get a message that says "Sorry you can't access this file directly". What should I do. George

I meant to say 13 days traveling downstream. George

We spent three weeks traveling downriver.

I took a bus ride to Portland Airport and rented a car, all the rental cars in Astoria were out and they did not know when they would be returning. I left the rental car at the Lewiston Airport and took a taxi to my truck and trailer at the Hells Canyon Marina which was only a few miles away...

We launched on September 2 and had almost perfect weather. Calm warm winds and glassy water. The winds in the summer are coming from the West which means you will be hitting the face of the waves instead of falling on the backs of the waves which is preferable. In September the winds start to...

28 minute video of our river trip that started on 9-2-14 on the Snake River, Clarkston Washington. We travel on a " 22' C Dory Cruiser" down the Snake River to the Columbia River and continue downstream. We detour up the Willamette River past Portland OR then return to the Columbia River and...

I have video of cruising on my 22' C Dory Cruiser from Lewiston Idaho to the Pacific ocean. Beautiful scenery, Locks, interesting stops. I would like to share it. Can someone explain how to upload the video. George

Thank you for your response Patti and Barry. The panels in front of the tanks are glued at the bottom any ideas on how to get them off? Robert why do you think that fuel injected engines don't need vents in the fuel tanks? George

Does anyone know where the fuel tanks vents are on my 22' Cruiser?

How do you splice 8 Plait Line to the anchor chain? George

Bob do you know if it is possible to add a pivioting piece to the existing roller set up so it would be self launching. Any Ideas to make the standard roller set up self launching?

Can the Lewmar 66840007 Bow Roller be attached to the existing bow roller frame minus the old roller? George

Very good information. I suspected that the mid ship tie was all that was needed not bow and stern lines. Do you think there is a benefit to having three well space balls instead of two? The bow ball could be bigger. George

Gary thank you for your reply. How will I know which cleats are the floating ones? I was thinking of using three large orange balls on each side of the boat for fenders. I am going to install a roof storage basket secured to the roof hand rails and store the orange balls there when not in use...

I'm planning a trip this summer from Lewiston Idaho down the Snake river to the Columbia river then to the ocean at Astoria Oregon. My C dory has aft steering and controls because it was used for crabbing. I could be in the aft area as I approached the lock cleat with forward and aft docking...

Thank you Charlie

I am sure that would be close enough but I thought I read that information somewhere on this site before but cant rember where.

I am ready to purchase my Lewmar V700g Vertical Windlass. I have found all of the info I need reading the posts except the starting dimension where I measure from. So the rode drops where it is supposed to.

Thank you Joe for the info. Another question what do you think about "Free Fall". I am assuming that the winches I have been reading about the Aires Quick, and Simpson Lawrence Horizon do not have the "Free Fall" feature. I am thinking that with some experience it is not nessary. What do you all...

I have been reading all of the posts concerning windlessas. Good advice. I haven't purchased anthing yet. I have two questions for now, fist can the anchor locker vent through the windlass to dry out the rode? I plan on adding a door on the locker for more rode and to seal the odor from the...
