Just returned from a great trip to Isle Royale. We had noticed that our snap rail that holds the bimini in place was beginning to crack and by the time we had trailered home the center section had completed cracked off. Called the folks at Proctor Canvas and they no longer carry the composite...

Lots of good suggestions regarding the BIG Lake. If you choose to go east beyond Thunder Bay, Ontario you might wish to apply for a Remote Areas permit from Canadian customs. This permit allows you to explore the north shore without the complications of going through Customs. Get it on line...

We've returned to snowy Michigan with wonderful memories of our time at the St. John's River Gathering. Thank you for welcoming us as landlubbers. We've already booked a space at Hontoon Landing Resort next February with Meri Aura in tow. Wondering if the dates for next year will be on the...

We're C-Brat owners from Michigan spending February in Florida. We'd like to attend the St. John's gathering. Our boat is "up north", but we would like to show up for the Saturday night potluck. Looks like we could get to the State Park by ferry or we could make arrangements to stay at the...

Bob, The 4 hp didn't have enough umph to give us good control in 10 KM winds. We stayed out of trouble, but I was concerned if the wind and waves had been any higher and safety was up wind. The 90 hp Suzuki had quit because of a run-in with freshly chopped weeds, a long story. Finally, I had...

Meri Aura has returned from her northeast journey covering 695 nautical miles and 100 locks. A three-plus week adventure that started in mid-May. We trailered approximately 700 miles from northern Michigan to Brewerton, NY and dropped in on Oneida Lake. We then traveled east on the Erie Canal...

We are on a 650 mile loop trip on the canals of the Northeast. Currently sitting out a rainstorm in Ste. Ours, Quebec. More details when we complete the trip. Question: I have a 2003 Suzuki 90 hp engine. We have traveled 350 miles. Prior to our departure, the engine was serviced. The...

We're always amazed at the almost instantaneous results on inquiries to C-Brats. Your responses to our parking needs were very helpful and the situation appears to be under control. Happy to report the Erie Canal is open and the buoys are in place. Plenty of water even though snowfall was...

We've been happily reading the Forum and feel the time has come to join in. Pat and I acquired our 2003 22ft. Cruiser last August. We're not the same Pat and I living in Rochester, NY. After 65 years of sailing and closing in on 80 it seemed time to try our hand as power boaters. We still...
