Thank you Floyd and Eiko :D Great video that captured the highlights of the cruise. Marcia and I enjoyed meeting you guys and look forward to seeing you again at Catalina in August. Thanks again Kent and Marcia MARCIA JANE

Thank you John. We're really excited about the upcoming tour! Kent and Marcia MARCIA JANE

Congratulations on your retirement Jim! My health issues are in the past and we're ready to once again participate in the Delta Extravaganza. Marcia and I are excited to take part in the adventure and also meet new Brats and renew old acquaintances. MARCIA JANE has been idle for far too long...

MARCIA JANE is ready for Two Harbors and Marcia and I can't wait! Hopefully the "health" issues are all in the past and it's nothing but happy voyages for 2014. We're going to launch and store the truck and trailer at Sunset Marina in Huntington Harbour. We could stay overnight there or...

Hi David and Donald, We also saw Elon Musk's rocket in flight. We were driving south on US 101, a little north of Pismo Beach and got a spectacular view of the rocket in the southern sky. We see frequent launches but don't recall seeing so much exhaust flame. It was a thrillling sight! I'm...

Hi Fellow Brats, :cry The MARCIA JANE has missed last years Catalina event, the 2013 Delta Extravaganza and now our favorite destination - Two Harbors on Catalina Island! Two back operations and a Staph infection have knocked me down and our poor boat has not seen any water for over a year...

Hi Brats, Sorry for the late post because of medical issues, but I've got a couple of photos you might be interested in. Last summer we were cruising with a friend in the San Juans on a 52' Ocean Alexander. The skipper is a friend of the O.A. broker at Roche Harbor. He invited us to tour the...

Hi Jim and all, The MARCIA JANE will not be able to attend the 2013 gathering. I thought I was going to be ready by undergoing back fusion early, but alas I've contracted a Staph infection and am still a long way from bouncing around in the boat. we are both very disappointed and hope to be...

Hi Jim and all, We usually prefer to travel a little further South to launch at Sunset/Huntington Harbour even though we're traveling from Central Coast. I launch there and travel the short distance to Alamitos Bay for overnight/restaurants before taking off early for Catalina the next...

I appreciate all the responses. Charlie, Thank You for the search suggestions. There is quite a bit of material on this subject. Dr. Bob, I agree, you are a couple of inches taller than me, but my 6' and shrinking frame would not have quite enough room if the roof came straight out from the...

I'm interested in installing some kind of a hardtop on the MARCIA JANE (2008 23' Venture). I originally installed a full length top and sides and really haven't used anything but the top. I enjoy fishing and would like to explore various kinds of hardtops. I have looked at a variety of...

Hi Dave, Yes, the drain plug was one of the first areas that the MARCIA JANE got the "cut and fill". I had another area that there was persistent water leak from the drain on the fish boxes/step that was really hard to find. After taking out the SS drain housing, there was a small leak that...

Want the good or the bad first? Let's go with the good :smiled I am recovering from a Laminectomy on the Lumbar 4/5. This is the cause of my HIP pain for the last several years. Some of you will recall my walking problems on the Delta Cruise. Numerous steroid shots did little to ease the...

Hi Donald and David, Best of luck on your way South! We look forward to seeing you at Catalina. Wave as you pass the Central Coast. Kent and Marcia MARCIA JANE

I have a small repair to make on the MARCIA JANE. Anyone have any trick to get the 50:1 ratio accurate for a small batch of Duraglas. The quart can directions are not much help. Hopefully, this was covered in the Factory Gel Coat Class, although I couldn't find it. Thanks in advance Kent...

Thank you Steve! I still can't figure out how to get them onto the C-Brat site. My daughter had transferred the photos from past years and she can't help me right now. I tried once and the picture came out real small. Maybe it's a brain block! OR my age. That's why my C-brat album has only...

Finally, I'll post the link to all the pictures I've taken of the 2012 Delta Extravaganza. I find it so much easier to use Picasa and I know that system pretty well. All the Delta attendees of recent years might also be interested in the progress of the Battleship Iowa. I will post a link...

Click on the following link to see the progress of the Battleship USS Iowa as it is being towed by one tugboat from Richmond, CA where it was being painted. It is headed to Los Angeles Harbor where she will be a permanent attraction. It is slated to be open to tours in July. The State of...
