yeah I learned real quick if stopping at the guest / fuel dock to roll around and tie up on the inland side of the dock! still, one more marina to log in my mind as a stopping point if I need supplies. Good people make it worth visiting for a meal too.

interesting, thanks for the feedback guys. I really thought that a clog would have caused the opposite reaction and a drop in pressure. and in regards to the fuel prices... yes I'll probably top off before we go, but even on Blakely the fuel was about the same-ish. $5.30 or $5.39 if I recall...

I have a CD22 and while I sometimes wish there were more cockpit space for fishing, I definitely dont want any less space in the cabin for cruising and camping. if you have the budget you might just go ahead and move up to a 25'. the dinette in the CD22 folds down and makes for a decent love...

I feel bad for not having my burgee up. I'll get it up before our Sucia trip in a few weeks.

Last week my wife had pulled the boat out and parked it in front of the house as we prepped it for the weekend trip. she detached the boat and drove to work with the tow rig (Cherokee/Hemi). I come home a few hours later with different tow rig (Dad's 3/4 ton cummins) to find the neighbors had...

Blakely Island Marina

I just wanted to see if there was anything to be concerned about. I'm planning on taking the wife to Sucia and West Beach in a couple weeks and I want to make sure everything is in tip top shape. the drive alone is about 2-3hrs for us just to the launch, so its a trip.

its a 2005 model 90ELPTSW4. I got the alarm one other time when I realized we went through a nasty kelpy area in rip coming out of bellingham last year. It was the first time I had heard such a thing so I shut everything down and investigated, the motor was wrapped in seaweed. I cleaned it and...

LOL. just blame it on popeye.

Tom, was that you I saw ducking in behind Canoe Island? we had an interesting motor issue about 2 miles out from FH ourselves...

what would cause a sudden spike in water psi? the motor is a 90hp merc. while cruising from Blakely to FH suddenly the alarm went off and PSI spiked to 15+psi. I shut everything down and switched to kicker while I could inspect. the motor never overheated and I couldn't find any problems. a gave...

I just wanted to recap my visit to Blakely Island Marina this weekend. we found the staff to be super pleasant. the marina, while small, was adequate. Friday and Saturday night they host an evening BBQ and the whole community shows up for burgers. they have a nice covered area for cooking and...

Tom your weekend is eerily close to mine. I'm shocked I didn't see you at Obstruction or FH. we pulled into FH probably around 3 and parked next to another red CD (a 19 I think) on the E dock. we only stayed a few hours, I wanted to be back on the water headed to Blakely with lots of time to...

thanks Ron. I baby it quite a bit when salty. my post salt rinse down is pretty extensive and I always utilize the flushing devices you had on the axles/brakes. I just took a long trip to anacortes and had no brake stutter at all until I got home, and it was only at very low speed through a...

I have no problem with drinking, I enjoy it. But for the same reason I dont do it while boating. boating has enough risks. If there is an accident my sobriety will not be in question.

I'm glad you brought the discussion up though.. it always makes me cringe when I see people doing this. particularly at planing speed.

update: friday hooked one nice salmon off eagle bluff but lost it at the boat (rookie mistake). then between friday and saturday caught SIX more dogfish between obstruction pass and pt Lawrence, but no more salmon. Saturday the weather was too nasty the first half of the day to cross Rosario so...

yeah I am definitely going to tinker with the adjustment. I meant to last night but got stuck bucking hay (330 bales, fun fun). they inspected the brakes and found them in good shape so didn't actually end up replacing the pads. I'll get to the bottom of this though and post a conclusion on the...
