Jim and All, Marcia and I plan to launch sometime Tuesday afternoon as well. Looking forward to a great cruise! :D Kent McClish MARCIA JANE

Hi, We purchased a 7' Saturn inflatable a couple of years ago. It is well constructed and has held up well. We power ours with a 2 h.p. Honda. I would buy one again! Good Luck! Kent McClish MARCIA JANE

Hi Jim, Our check is in the mail today. We had so much fun last year (it was our boating highlight of the year) we wouldn't miss this adventure for anything! Not sure yet when we're arriving at Rio Vista. Regardless, we'll be there when the action starts. Hopefully, the weather will do a...

Hi, I am really pleased with the resolution on my Garmin HD Radar. I previously had a Raymarine radar (2001) that was not nearly as discriminating. You have to experiment with your controls to get the best resolution possible in varying conditions regardless of the brand you buy. Good luck...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Go Saints! Go! Kent MARCIA JANE

Thank You Jim! :D Marcia and I will make sure to circle those dates on the boating calendar. We'll watch for the events sign-up. Thanks again! Kent McClish MARCIA JANE

Hi Scott, We used Peggy out of Channel Islands Canvas. She did a great job! She was recommended by Roger of C-Hawk fame. We would order some things differently now with a little more experience using the boat, but feel good about recommending her. I'll PM you with her phone number. Kent...

Hi Hank, I will be selling my Garmin 182c soon. I have used it exactly how you're describing. It will include - the external antenna for the boat (never used), an antenna for the car (goes on the dash) and software, card reader for car navigation, power cord for cig. lighter and power cord...

Hi Billy, I equipped my boat with 2 of their products. I have their 4 cup holder with the 4" suction cup and I also mounted a fan on a 4" cup to defrost the windshield. Their main advantage is that they don't have to be permanently mounted and leave the surfaces for other uses as well. They...

Aw, come on you guys, this is serious stuff! Once again, my season is ruined. :evil: We love our TROJANS as much as we love our C-Dory! :love "Bark for Sark" Are you kidding? Pete Carroll was just trying to let his former assistant have some early success. The SC players seemed to...

:roll: The Marcia Janes first C-Brat outing was the Santa Barbara Seafood Festival in October of 2008. This event was well organized by Roger of C-Hawk fame, and we were well represented by 8-10 boats. There were yachts of all sizes and description (mostly very big) and the C-Dories had their...

Hi Steve, Actually we used diving bells with air trapped inside. :lol: My PADI certification was issued in 1975. The last time I dove was probably in the 80's and I broke three ribs getting tossed up on a rock trying to get ashore at Diver's Cove in Laguna Beach. I sold my tanks, regulator...

Bringing the Marcia Jane home from Portland

Hi Jeff, The Marcia Jane (Marcia and I) plan to arrive at Two Harbors on Tuesday. We're staying until Sunday and hope to tour the USC facility. (I've heard it's really worth visiting and tours are only on Saturday). We plan to do a little fishing, a little kayaking, a little touring and...

Hi Roger, Thanks for responding! Would you leave from Channel Islands again, or would you choose to launch further south when you're going to Two Harbors? Wasn't parking the problem in many of the launch sites? By the way, Peggy at Channel Islands Canvas did a nice job on the canvas. Good...

Hi All, Since we live near Santa Maria, I'm tempted to launch at Channel Islands (good launch ramp and plenty of parking) for the Two Harbors trip. Last time I went to Two Harbors, (last month) I launched in Long Beach (by the Queen Mary). We stayed overnight in the Harbor there and left for...

Hi Lyle, The MARCIA JANE has the Garmin 5212 Chartplotter. Yes, it does have the radar overlay feature. I'm really pleased with the unit! One of the best things about the Garmin is the U.S. based support. When you call, you get an English speaking person in Kansas. The only problem so far...

Marcia and I are aboard for Two Harbors during the week of the 17th. That's how we discovered C-dories and the C-brats. We were there two years ago in our Wellcraft center console (cold and wet) and saw how much fun the group was having. We're looking forward to it! :D Kent MARCIA JANE

:D Thank you Jim and Kathy Marcia and I absolutely loved every minute of the Delta Cruise! The trip was well organized, went like clockwork AND we still relaxed and got away from it all. Wow, we've never seen so many great things, met so many wonderful people and had such fun in such a short...

Hi Jim and All Marcia and I will launch around 10:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. We'll be staying at a friend's place Tuesday evening. Do most folks bring food for their breakfasts and lunches, or do they buy provisions along the way? We're really looking forward to this event! :D The 10 day...
