Merv and Kathy Sorry to hear about the boat problems and that you won't be able to make it. Hope things work out and we get to meet up with you soon. Jim

Active Captain I use Active Captain on my Palm Treo 700P with Sprint. Actually worked with Jeff as one of the Beta Testers. He is great to work with and I like the product. It was fantastic to plot out a route say from S Puget Sound to the US border. - The maps on the Handheld are the NOAA...

Dave and Jim Thanks for posting the photo of the Festoon Star LED's - I purchased a red and green for $40 /a piece at SBS - fisheries supply - they have been 50 for quite a while. I installed them and they are much brighter than the Perko incandescent that was stock on my CDOry. I made the...

Susan Not sure which system or software you are using If you are using Tide Tool Be sure you are loading software on Palm - not another OS. Be sure you are loading into RAM or Primary Palm directory - it won't run off a card You must have three files - loaded Tide tool 72.5 k Tide ArgsDB...

The Tides and Currents program for Palm runs on the Palm only. You usually download to PC then sync it to get it on PDA. Its quite handy when you are trying to plan a trip in the future and are not near the boat. That said, there may be a work around to put in on a Nokia or Symbian phone or...

Tides and currents information - free Palm software. Another economical approach. Download free Palm software www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/tidetool - if you don't have a Palm you can purchase one used - will likely run on old Palm 3 - I use it all the time on my Palm Treo 700P for tides...

Anne Sorry you won't make it - Bear was looking forward to showing Gus around the waterfront. -Have fun with the CG Jim

Merv Water level depends of course on where you are in the Marina. How much do you need? Most CDorys will do just fine at most spots at -1 - my cdory is the furthest into the Marina possible and still floats at -4 but there would not be room to get around other boats in the summer when its...

Fiberglass, plastic and inflatable - each has a place - not all inflatables are slow - My Current Designs like Robi said is very fast - great for extended tours and even some surfing. You can cover a lot of distance - but make sure you know how to roll, wet exit and dress for immersion in the...

Roger Great - looking forward to your visit - we have planned for 100% weather which so far this year includes - monsoon style rain, snow, sleet, wind and yes some sun. The mornings have been very foggy - The afternoons lately are fantastic - slightly cool but sunny. Jim

Earlier today saw reference to Google developing an application that is like google earth but with underwater mapping. It was in the midst of a very short work break and only a short paragraph. Can't find the link now - they indicated it would first include limited US area - Now combine that...

Slip for one night is OK at Indian cove - where do you plan to launch?- Jim

Just a reminder as mentioned above - the actual dates for S Sound CBGT in Indian Cove are March 6 through 8th - Those planning to drive and camp on shore overnight should make plans to stay at Jarrel Cove State Park camp ground less than a mile south by water or road Jim

Robbi I sure hope Cordell's surgeon used Marine grade stainless for the knee, so he can come to a CBGT. :) Group Last year Pat suggested that they might want to do a Saturday - day trip in S Sound. Since the slips will be reserved for boat size based on registration on this site - not much...

I just heard back from Harbor Master - we now have confirmation on the Marina Pavilion and the Dock - I will need a final boat count before the weekend so we can assign vacant slips once the guest dock fills up. Perhaps we can have a sign up sheet - Daily Dock fees as I recall were...

I submitted Fri afternoon through Sun afternoon March 6-8 to the Harbor Master - just waiting to hear back - Jim on Endurance

Good to hear there is enough interest for two possible S Sound CBGT's As I said above I would have more information about the availability of Indian Cove after the weekend. I am currently responsible for some very high risk patients that require my full attention - during the week. I had...

Nothing like a little peer pressure - on last year's organizers. :) - I do plan on sponsoring the event again this time at Indian cove Marina before Mid May when our marina fills up with owner boats. Indian cove is about 1/2 mile north by water and 1 mile by road of Jarrel Cove. We have a...

Art Thanks for the ideas, many nice modifications in your album Jim

Is it wise to add another cleat at the junction of the back of the cabin and cockpit on the 22 so as to have more attachment points? Jim
