This is exactly why I drink rum.

Are you certain that you have to rebuild the motor...whatever that means? Otherwise, I agree with Rob above...other than I don't know how much you need to sell it for to pay off the loan. That might factor into my decision.

Hunter...do you find this water on days that don't rain?

Yes, a huge amount of moister can accumulate and soak everything, especially if you're living in there. If you have shore power, I would invest in a de-humidifier or one of those low-wattage fan/heater things. Also, you have a lot of cojones to be living on a 22 foot c-dory in the upper part...

I've only once owned a boat where the bilge pump was installed exactly at the lowest part of the cockpit when the boat was at the dock. And, of course, the "lowest" place can change depending upon how the boat is loaded, how much gas and water you have, etc... If it really bothers you (it...

Ha! The borders are not open free and clear precisely because some people won't get vaccinated.

Is that correct? One of my graduate students here at Western Washington University travels to UBC in Vancouver twice a week for her research (day trips) and does not need a test to get back into the US after the work day.

First Rogerbum, thank you from bringing us back to interesting discussions about salmon fisheries and away from the 4th-grade level "retard" insults. No disrepect to actual 4th-graders intended, most of whom are above that sort of thing anyway. While your graphs clearly show a dramatic increase...

I see what you did there...you combined the word "liberal" with the term "retarded" to form the word "libtard." HILARIOUS!!! In fact, you must be a comedic genius. Where do you come up with such great material!!!!!???? You must be, like, the smartest and funniest dude in all of Alaska...

It is true that the Alaskan hatcheries pump out a lot of salmon (mostly pinks), but the vast majority of Alaskan fish caught these days are not hatchery salmon. My colleague, who is an Alaskan fisheries biologist, tells me that about 25% of the catch is from hatcheries. It varies from year to...

Congratulations on your purchase. A C-dory in southern Louisiana! Where are you going to cruise it mostly? Also, nice name for your boat. Better than FORTRAN, that's for sure.

If you can't tell, I love talking about this stuff.

Since you are asking, I think that the distinction is completely lost on most consumers of salmon. If a consumer makes any distinction at all, they are thinking of pen-raised, farmed salmon vs. salmon that are not pen-raised. I think this because 2/3 of all salmon consumed in the US is...

We are taking the same thing. Missing adipose = hatchery fish.

Oh...it's confusing! Generally, and speaking only for the State of Washington, the adipose fin of all hatchery Chinook and Coho are clipped and this is readily observable. Also, typically, non-hatchery wild Chinook must be released. This is one reason why reefnet fishing is considered more...

You won't get any argument from me that wild run salmon are different that hatchery salmon. But, my friend's reef net operation does not make any attempt to market wild caught salmon as wild salmon. They don't market the salmon at all. They just sell the catch to the tender at a ridiculously...

It seems very clear from your first few sentences that your are under the impression: 1) That Lummi reef-net salmon are coming from the Lummi hatchery. That is not true, they are Fraser River fish. 2) That they (the Reefnetters) are marketing hatchery fish as non-hatchery fish so that they...

Hmmm. Well, let me clear a few things up for you. First, the Lummi reefnet salmon are Fraser River fish not Nooksack River/Lummi Hatchery fish. The reefnets are placed on the west side of Lummi Island specifically to intercept the Fraser runs on a flood tide, and only a flood tide. Take a...

We seem to have a perpetual C-brat gathering at Gate 8 in Squalicum Harbor, Bellingham, WA. Currently, there are 11 C-dorys with moorages at Gate 8, 7 on my dock alone. There are 3 25's and rest are 22's, the oldest being an 1982. That has to be some kind of record.

http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=Surf-Scoter&id=reefnetters&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php Well, I accidentally posted this to the wrong topic, but oh well. We took the boat out today to visit my friends who own a reefnet off of Lummi Island. A...
