Some things I have been pondering about all this: * I think its rude (though probably unintentionally) to come in and tout purchasing a competitors boat on this site; especially if you start extolling the virtues of your new find...etc. (I couldnt afford a new C-Dory or a Cape Cruiser! HA!)...

We actually sleep across thwart with our heads to the port side; same if I am single handing. Gives me lots of room to store stuff in the cuddy even when we are sleeping and its easier to get in and out of.

Wow, tough crowd. After years of running bass boats when I was in the Marine Corps (including "salt water" prepping them and running them looking for Grouper and speckled trout out of Beaufort NC - dont ask!) I bought a 21' Bayliner Explorer when I moved to Alaska. Heavy, underpowered with a 4...

Courtesy of Red Fox, I welded on the grating.

I beach once in a while and the coast up here is rocky and the tidal ranges extreme so you have to be very careful and plan it out. One thing that is very important is to be careful about beaching bow on if there is any surf at all or any chance of large wakes hitting you; good way to swamp...

Pretty neat TUG but I didnt see a 52K price anywhere; love the wood though.

Sailer-D wins hands down so far.

Ahhhhhhhaaaaaa come on, its kind of funny as long as Mr Whittington will be okay. I dont understand why he or his handlers let this go unreported for so long but he must have been mortified! Also, anyone who has listened to Leno or Letterman in the last 2 nights and hasnt gotten a chuckle is...

Hey Greg: I have spring fever in a big way, its been sunny and warm down here and we already have Rhubarb comming up (alas, only to be killed off the next hard freeze). Mon bateau réclame moi et veut prendre un voyage ! We usually ship Alaska Air Cargo, they are located on the left as you are...

Outstanding Greg! April should be fine or I can pay the shipping; your call. If you send me an e-mail with your mailing address I will send you a check now (if you are going to ship it include that amount too) because I have to keep things tidyed up. I am heading for the desert again this...

Great clip on a nasty Sunday afternoon; thanks. I was given a beatup Toyota pickup for free once because the owner lost the keys and didnt want to mess with getting new. I just took the steering column surround off and started the damn thing with a screw driver. Drove that truck as a commuter...

Greg: If you were talking about selling the platform you have over your outboards (that you had the cargo carrier mounted to) I am definitely interested. I would need it shipped to Juneau tho. Andy

The real tragedy of Timothy Treadwell was that his video camera wasnt filming at the right time....if you know what I mean.

DogOnDory: The bear density around here is about 1 per square mile and we have had a rash of "self defense" bear shootings by people who probably shoot before they need to. Even though I am out in bear country a lot, I have never had to shoot a nuisance or aggressive bear and I enjoy seeing...

I like wrenching on my Harley, my wife and I cook a variety of foods and enjoy cooking "themes". The last few years because I am gone so much, I have increasingly enjoyed gardening. Its enjoyable to see things you have planted grow and we are getting pretty good at selecting indigenous plants...

This has been an interesting thread. I carry a Glock 21 .45 Auto with a 13 round magazine. Simple and easy to maintain weapon and I am comfortable with it after so many years in the military with the 1911 and now Berretta. Its a backup bear weapon and personal safety insurance policy fo me and...
