Terry, Ann & Chloe Last year was great fun - I would like to go to Bellingham SBGT then head up to the Gulfs' - with you. I thought it might be interesting to go to Prince Louisa Marine Park - if some are interested and time permits. I do like your ideas of cruising at various speeds and...

Jarrell Cove CBGT 2008 I am working on setting up a South Puget Sound CBGT - to Jarrell Cove or Indian Cove - I have the first two weekends free in March, April and first one free in May [that might be too close to the other CBGT's in May.] I reviewed the last two CBGT here at Jarrell cove on...

Greg In response to your questions on page 1 about Soar inflatables: I initially tried a 14 foot soar - a very dry inflatable canoe. Well built expedition boat - owner Larry of the Soar line was easy to work with. If you like to canoe and definitely want to sit above the water give it a...

Thanks for the information on radar placement - That should save me buying a radar arch. Jim

Thanks for the well wishes - and interest in South Sound - I will check with our Harbor Master to see when folks start filling up the slips again in the spring. Jim

After having a great time at Bellingham and in the Gulf Island's last summer, I had shared with our great hosts - Ruth and Jo and a few others, that I wanted to do a South Sound get together in the fall. I've had some health issues since then that took my full focus [in addition to full time...

I have been thinking about dropping my central pedestal Furuno mount that is about 12 to 14 " tall - to a lower position - so I could put my inflatable sea kayak [upside down-] over it in the middle of the cabin-- Bill and El did something like this. The sea kayak is tied on with straps now...

Will look forward to your insights from the other side of the "Pond." Have fun Jim Endurance

El and Bill I have always enjoyed your website - Your recent posts, photos and shared time have provided life changing energy that is important at this time in my life. It has re-kindled the flame that climbing provided to a more youthful frame. Your posts: "Enjoy the rest of your life."...

Great suggestions Thanks Jim

I remember seeing one CBrat Album where they used the blue lock together grid tile inside on the floor instead of carpet. . I am about to replace carpet - plan to use the boat all winter in S Puget Sound -with usually one overnight per week - I am in and out of the cockpit often - and...

Has anyone done LED replacements for the current Navigation lights, or built in cabin lights? I have seen the LED string lights that some have installed. Thanks Jim

El and Bill We live up on Hartstene Island - North End, of Case Inlet - Our Marina Indian Cove is just 1/2 mile north of Jarrels cove. Please come visit, shower, have dinner, relax on the porch -stay on your boat in the Marina or preferably at our home --good views of the Olympics and...

Thanks for the information. The Science of all this is fascinating. Does anyone have a good sander for irregular surfaces like the motor mount- there were several mentioned under fiberglass repair for flat surfaces.? Thanks again Jim

During last pull out I noticed increased numbers of marine life attached to lower aspect of Honda 40 mounts. I had been paying attention to hull bottom paint that was in relatively good condition. After trying to remove the shells, talking to local Pickering Marine - about the correct paint he...

Thanks -for clarifying the difference between the solvent and the catalyst. I purchased the MEKP - and did most of the repair - the wet sanding worked out so that the match is close - it really is about timing - when to quit working the resin, when to pull the plastic off and start the...

Thanks Actually I have searched the CBrat site, West Systems and some Kayak repair sites over the last few months about gelcoat repair - What is confusing is the three cans from the factory labeled as: Gelcoat, MEK and Catalyst [now empty] and the statement below from the CBrat forum that...

I am trying to patch a scratch near water line. When I was at the SBS factory dinner earlier this year, one of the staff gave me three cans of MEK, Gelcoat and Catalyst. He said mix them all together - they have different volumes and the Catalyst has evaporated. I had been waiting for hot...

Hope to be able to make my first CD gathering - not sure about time of departure yet from S Puget Sound. - Jim
