I amputated the table leg about a year ago. Solution is not elegant but works great. I use same L shaped hull mounts on the table for attachment to the standard wall mount - and then attached 1/4 or 3/8: nylon prussic line to bolt and washer under the table - mid section about 5 inches from...

Bill Thanks for the link and analysis of S Sound. Interesting reading. A few days a go I posted a link under earthquake prediction http://www.adn.com/2010/01/22/1107324/h ... -some.html - not a scholarly article. They implied that increased IR and perhaps other forms of electromagnetic...

Thanks for the suggestions - we have some annual corporate expenses and wanted to maximize the benefit from using a c-card - I agree - with pay completely every month. Thanks Jim

Does anyone have a credit card that gives something useful besides air miles for points earned outside that specific store. [REI or W Marine] We used Cabelas visa for binoculars but am not interested in their fishing and hunting gear and they don't have high end or quality kayak, climbing...

From a sea kayaker perspective [we also carry VHF] a wrist watch altimeter /barometer is very useful. Sometimes the view of impending storm is blocked by Mt and pressure changes may be an early sign. Also weather reports in BC tend to be very general and not all that helpful where as the...

Currently using Sprint EVO - w unlimited data on the phone and also as a HotSpot Wifi for $30 extra bucks a month [for MacBook or Win] , works great in Puget Sound, Seattle, I 90 to Spokane most areas, and no problem w reception most of the time on BC coast to Desolation Sound. Limit data in...

Since both of my workplace clinics are at sea level, we rehearse complete clinic evacuation up a steep hill in a few minutes. The fault is supposedly 8 miles off shore. I have given our staff the Costco solar rechargeable flashlights to be kept near bedside. Hard sole shoes and helmet are...

Thanks for the comments: I was thinking mostly about the model used by Ranger at Bremerton - one weekend /year with an add on of a few classes. The Ranger - Yanmar tune up seminar was very well attended by perhaps 30-40 persons. the idea behind it all [if it fits into Tritons marketing plan]...

After reading / and responding to the posts about CDory history, I started thinking about the bigger picture. In the last year, in a home about 10 years old, I have replaced, heat exchanger, furnace, refrigerator [5 yrs old], propane fireplace needs thermocouple replacement, garage door...

Thanks for the different and also respectful comments on this thread. Thanks Pat for helping us understand the history and thanks Matt G [Kitsap] for your continued contribution on this site. Just an idea to help Triton, since I want to see both Ranger and CDory do well and they are...

I feel so fortunate: to have a great CDory from the past [2005] , to have new CDory's being built to fine specs, and to have the choices of CDory and Ranger Tug from some of the best in the industry - and somehow they've done this during a down turned economy and with a lot of personal energy...

Patty and Barry Sorry for the delay in response - been immersed in work. I am using Earthquake by Reto Meier. reviews vary - there have been some recent forced closed reports by others, but it works fine in my EVO. I don't leave GPS on due to battery concerns - it has links to USGS data. I...

Sorry I posted to new list rather than this one: Here is copy of email I receive from NOAA to alert to Tsunami risk - this alert comes in very quickly - we use the information on our smartphones at the coastal clinics. You can sign up for the alerts that are nearly every other day. This alert...

Might want to check out the Android application that alerts one to earthquakes based on your location, and magnitude. It also vibrates to indicate magnitude of quake. [as if the shaking outside isn't enough - there will be shaking in my pocket.] Seriously application on Android market =...

Thanks for the suggestions Jim

I know its traditional to taper the knot that connects anchor line to chain for use w windlass. Grog's knots didn't think it was so necessary as in the past- and it seems my windlass will pull in the line without the taper [I did about 8-9 turns vs 5-6 ] to see how it would work. I can always...

I am happy to hand out a flyer and would carry some as others mentioned - but a good action photo on business card with all the necessary information, & web link would be better for me - to carry on my smart phone. When someone gets interested - I could just offer to text them w photo and...

EQ Marine - Kathy, Carlos and Less indicated that they have special on this month for Engine service - the oil is included at no charge. See their web page. I Just did the Honda 200 hr valve adjust, tune, lube, and a Lewmar Windlass install at EQ + Tohatsu kicker service. I am - very...

Just ordered Lewmar Pro Fish 700 this afternoon w 30 foot of 1/4" G4- using the one day only Thanksgiving sale 15% off [West Marine on line] - in case anyone is interested. Thanks for all the anchor and windlass comments on this site. However my sailing friends told me about a solo Canadian...
