Don't know what happened, my image ended up in another member's post. Harper

This is the neatest Christmas gift. It was painted by my multi-talented and beautiful business partner Lisy Thomas.

Angola Cover 2

cemiii, I think this might be a better idea even. It would provide a definite ridge so that snow would not collect on top between the two ropes. Thanks again, Harper

Thanks for all the input on this topic. cemiii, Your solution sounds lots easier and much better than mine, think I'll try it first. What type of rope is not subject to stretching? Harper

Fellow Brats, I just received a full boat cover from Angola Canvas (Indiana). This is the first winter with the boat which sits outside. We live at 5,000 feet elevation and usually get over 100 inches of snow. The material of the cover is Aqulon which is lighter than Sunbrella and less prone to...

I don't need four wheel drive unless I want to get home in the winter months. Live at 5,000 feet elevation with about a quarter mile of private gravel road to navigate. Also, need 4wd to get boat and RV in and out in the best weather. I often use 4wd to pull boat out on even easy ramps just to...

Patrick, Thanks much for explaining this. I had heard and read that the lines should go counterclockwise but didn't understand the reason. Your explaination is totally logical. Harper

I am certainly no expert having experienced locking just this past September on the Erie Canal C-Brats cruise. There were, however, two experts at solo locking in our seven boat group. Terry Meyer (The Last Dance) and Fred Heap (Inn the Water) were cruising solo. They always used a rigid ladder...

CH, My last boat was a 2002 20 foot Lund Alaskan, dual console which we had for seven years. We sold it after purchasing the C-Dory this Spring. It had a 90 hp Honda. Handling was not all that different than the CD although the boat was much lighter as you say and, of course, faster. At higher...

(1) The nearest C-Dory dealer for you is Mobil East Marine in Alliance, which is near Oriental. Gene or Carrie Wooster can probably help with the windshield wipers. I would think you only need to replace the blade. (2) The square screwdriver is a stock item at most hardware stores, I just...

For those of you who use the Cobb on a 22 Cruiser, where do you locate the grill for use? When we rented Marc Grove's (Wefings) 25 Cruise ship a couple of years ago it had a Cobb and we were really impressed. Now with our 22 Cruiser just wonder where it would be simple and safe to locate while...

My Honda mechanic says that ethanol is added to pure gasoline to make E-10 after the production of the two components. He believes that many times more than ethanol than the 10% mixture requires may be added since the mix is not handled very precisely. If that is true then your mix which would...

Rob and Karen, Sounds like a great cruise. We would like to join you next time. Time frame didn't work this time. What happened to cause the tow of Life of Riley? Harper

All true, but look what happened to both Reynolds and Fluid. Maybe that is not the model for SeaSport to follow speaking strictly from a business perspective. I am thankful that a quality company like SeaSport bought whatever was included in their C-Dory purchase and wish them well. Of the many...

Ron and Connie, I have been actively involved with our Mitchell County, NC Chamber of Commerce for many years as a board member and president. We are a small rural county in the mountains of western NC. The entire population is only a tad over 15,000. Historically our economy has consisted of...

We would also vote for September for the reasons Paul stated PLUS, we could then attend the Lake Powell gathering (assuming it is held again next year in late September) without making another complete cross country trip. Thanks again Ron and Connie. Harper
