    Wandering the Inside Passage to Alaska

    Don't run us down on your way back home! E-Ticket, Tosoro and Fun Patrol are northbound out of Pender Harbor, via Princess Louisa then north for another month or so. It's still too hot to return to Southern CA......eh? Roy, Fun Patrol

    More Northbound C-Dorys

    Ahoy all... E-Ticket, Tesoro and Fun Patrol are in Sidney, BC continuing north for the next month or so. We just had the pleasure of meeting Peter and Caryn on C-Dancer in Port Sidney and look forward to crossing tacks with other Brats along the way. We launched June 17 in Anacortes and...

    Converting to a Wallas

    Joe, Steve and the group Good to be back on the site...been doing lots of traveling, but the big hangup was the trauma of buying a new laptop, changing providers and dealing with the new headaches! I have to appologize, I didn't look at the dates of the posts, so my info for Steve was a little...

    Converting to a Wallas

    Steve: I have a Wallas 125 DU in my 22. I installed it using an aluminum adaptor plate I fabricated to cover the Origo cutout and disperse the heat from the Wallace. No modification of the countertop is needed. The other installation considerations are connecting to 12 volt power, mounting...

    FCC "red tape"

    In the U.S. the FCC has decided to dump marine VHF into the same catagory as CB...no license needed...Except, if you travel OUTSIDE the US, then...(you figure the logic), you need as license for the VHF. The good news is that this is the same license that you will get for your radar and marine...

    Tear in Fender

    The most likely cause is a cut or tear from something sharp. Might check out the dock for protruding nails, screws, bolts or gnarly barnacles. It did it's job, better than a tear in the boat! Don't even try to fix it. Go down to the nice store and pick out your favorite color. Or......do...

    Securing the Anchor Rode

    A snubber of 3/8 nylon 3 strand about 6 ft long is about right for a 22 cruiser. A chain hook or shackle is good for the chain connection, with the chain continuing to run loosely over the roller and the snubber connected to the bow eye via a shackle. This improves your scope angle and connects...

    San Diego Boat Show

    They had a nice selection of Nordics at the Anacortes marina when we were up there last year. That might do for a while, until the next step to a Nordhaven. They might even be trailerable...my 47 ft sailboat was trailered from Vancouver, BC to Ft. Lauderdale, and from Rhode Island back to...

    22 ft cruiser and porta potti

    Scotti There is a C-Dory dealer at Dana Landing in Mission Bay. He had a green trimmed 22 about a month ago. Probably better ask before you use the Porta Potti though.... :-) Roy

    22 ft cruiser and porta potti

    Scotti The Porta Potti is a great leap forward from having to deal with malfunctioning/clogged heads, plumbing and full holding tanks. I would suggest you just go down to the trailer supply or West Marine and buy one, put it out in the garage and see what you think before you spend thousands...

    Larger Fonts Available

    Increasing the size helps, but I think some other type style would be more readable...something like the headings above "C-Brats Online! Forum Index...." Roy

    Thanks for the tweak. That works for me. Now...if I could just figure out how to make the "remember me" box work so I didn't have to do the sign in/secret word routine. I had a suggestion to not log out...tried that, but I still have to start with signing in and the password if I want to...

    How do you like the new site format?

    Geeeeze, I had a hard time finding my own note! I followed the instruction to go to the "Main Forum". OK...so when I get there, there are the broad general categories which are fine for looking up some particular subject, but the topics are not listed. There is only a number, example "4"...

    How do you like the new site format?

    As a person who appreciates simplicity, and being a non-compu-nerd, anything you can do to make things run smoother is fine with me. I still fail to grasp what was wrong with the old site and I always fuss when things are changed. A couple of comments: Could the topics be listed similar to...
