Hi Keith, Best wishes for Kimiko's quick recovery! Life and good health sure are precious. Situations such as this unfortunately remind us too often. I was thinking of your posts re: the possibility of your 16 footer participating in the Delta Extravaganza. You can be very glad you didn't...

Well, we're finally home. Just fixed the water line that had exploded while we were gone. I understand my front yard looked like a Laurel and Hardy comedy while various neighbors tried to stop the flow. Marcia and I heartily agree with all of the previous posts regarding the quality of this...

Hi John, I have a 2008 Venture 23 you could check out, but it's on its way up to the Delta Cruise. We'll be back a week from tomorrow. Feel free to E-mail me for phone numbers and all. I am very pleased with the way the Venture handles and Marcia is especially happy with the interior. Kent...

Hi Peter, Will-C described the Garmin fuel sensor very well. I have it hooked up to a Garmin 5212 and it has worked flawlessly. I would buy it again. Kent MARCIA JANE

Charlie, the reason that you've never seen these scenes before is - I'm the only one with these prints. These photos were taken by the crew during the several weeks of filming. This is one of the few locations that we accompanied my Dad on, since it was so close to Burbank, where we lived. My...

I had heard that all the models in these photos were burned up in a fire at one of the studios. They were used in several war movies. I would love to have bought one for use up at Lake Almanor where we used to spend summers! The U.S. Defense Department helped finance the building of them...

My Dad was a Special Effects Man with various movie studios for over 50 years. About the only movie that I have photos of is the Warner Brothers movie "Air Force" made shortly after Pearl Harbor (early 1942) and depicting the first victorious battle over the Japanese Navy. The movie was filmed...

Hi Mary, I see you live in Alameda, CA. In May, I'll be hauling the MARCIA JANE right past you on our way to the Delta gathering. If you would like to meet at a spot near the freeway, we'll be glad to show you a 2008 Venture with all the features of the interior that caused me to change my...

Hi Steve and all Marcia's concern was missing out on dinner with the group if we went on the night Alcatraz tour. As you recall last year, some folks chose to go to a different daytime destination rather than tour Angel Island again. I checked on daytime Alcatraz Island tours and reservations...

Hi Jim, :oops: I have just shared this thread with the Marcia of the MARCIA JANE and she thinks that my suggestion of going on the Alcatraz night tour on the last night of our cruise is one of my dumber ideas. :cocktail - No, I had not been drinking, but as a former history teacher, I...

Hi Jim, Marcia and I are excited that you and Kathy are leading the cruise again this year. You do a great job! Count us in and hopefully a sign-up list will appear soon. One of the possible destination attractions that was mentioned last year was a visit to Alcatraz Island Prison. There...

Hi Bob, I bought the FLIR handheld last year and tried it for lobster netting. Because I had such a hard time seeing the lobster trap and net buoys when it was really dark, I figured the FLIR would really be a help. Alas, one of the problems with net and trap buoys is that they are in the...

Bob, Thank you for your recommendations about safety around the water, especially at night. Having been a classmate of Natalie while attending Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Burbank, I've always been interested in her career and facts about her untimely death. Her younger sister (also...

Hi, I have a 2008 Venture 23 with a Honda 135. I am very happy with the power than we have on the MARCIA JANE and I'm glad I didn't choose a smaller motor. The Venture is a heavy boat and while I obviously don't get the fuel economy of a 22 with a 90, I think it's the right combination. Good...

Welcome back home Brats! Marcia and I have both been sick this week. First me and then, like clockwork Marcia with a stomach flu or ? It was painful not to go on the Catalina trip since we had not missed it for the last three years. Hopefully, you had a great week! Two Harbors is one of our...

We'll bring cheese and crackers, chips and salsa for the group. Is the count right at 16 people? We are looking forward to this trip! See all of you in a couple of weeks. Kent & Marcia MARCIA JANE

Thanks for your advice fellow brats! I called EQ yesterday (Wednesday) and left a message for Les. Haven't heard back yet and they are closed today (Thursday). I'm not sure my friend is going to be able to make that connection. Lots of interesting information on the Internet about who...

I have a friend who will be looking for a new 4 to 5 h.p. outboard motor within the next couple of days. His boat is a 50+ foot Ocean Alexander and he needs the small outboard for his inflatable. I'm partial to Honda motors, but I also hear really good things about Suzuki and Yamaha. He...

Great pictures Joel! That boat is awesome and so is your "First Mate". Marcia does the same thing and I couldn't handle the MARCIA JANE without her. See you at Catalina. Kent MARCIA JANE

Hi Folks, Finally got my pictures posted! I wish that were am easier process! I can use Picasa, but am pretty computer illiterate otherwise. Jim and Kathy once again took the lead and planned a great cruise! John and Robin outdid themselves with their wonderful Duck Club appetizers, dinner...
