Shouldn't the tank cleaning company that installed the additional side access ports be aware of any such related Federal restrictions? I would think a company that would undertake such a job would need to be somewhat clued into relevant government (Federal, State, or county) regulations...

Not sure if its standard procedure or not but they painted our trim tabs when we had the bottom paint applied. It seems to have helped, pulled it out earlier this month after being in the marina for 5 months (the longest we have ever left it in) and pretty darn clean. Gotta figure out how to...

Had our boat in the water for 5 months this year... surprisingly clean when pulled out due to bottom paint. But what about barnacles on the sonar transducer? Is there anything I might try other then muriatic acid to remove the remaining rings on such a small area? Thanks, Dan...

Please add two or us also. Thanks! Take care, Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on C-Renity

Thanks for your suggestions Roger, Rob, Dr. Bob, Harvey and JD. I have downloaded most of your suggested apps including the $54 US/Canadian version of Navionics. Now I will start playing w/ them to better understand their capabilities. Thanks again for the info gents! Take care, Dan...

We yanked our boat out of Port Ludlow marina this past Thursday night to beat this weekend's nasty weather since our "fair weather boating season" moorage was paid up only till the end of September. NOAA currently has Gail Warnings and Storm Watch in effect for the weekend in Admiralty Inlet w/...

Sorry I had not seen your post earlier Kevin. I don't think you really need a car and it would likely be more of a pain and expense then it would be worth due to rental costs and parking fees. Note that the correct Silver Cloud Inn location (they have multiple locations) is the downtown...

I registered too. Looks quite useful sir. Thanks for posting this Mike! Take care, Dan, Tanya, and Hannah on C-Renity

We use an "Engine Tilt Trailering Support" device from the Yamaha folks for the 115-hp Yamaha on our Venture 23. This device can be seen at http://www.simyamaha.com/Yamaha_Engine_Support_p/mar-mtspt-ym-10.htm . Costs a bit over $50 but has worked great for us in our fairly limited...

There is also the Amtrak Cascades train running between Seattle and Vancouver and other points also (see http://www.amtrak.com/cascades-train). I have not looked at the schedule dates or times to see if such a trip, using this option, would be feasible. I believe Barry & Patty (Colobear)...

Thanks Mike and Monica for being such wonderful hosts. As stated at the potluck, it's great the Canadian C-BGT tradition continued and Sydney was an extremely worthy follow-up to Nanaimo, Montague, and Comox. Great to see everybody and also meet some new folks! Take care and hopefully...

I will likely join the group and head to West Marine on Saturday .... nothing special on the shopping list but will be browsing at least. Take care, Dan & Tanya on C-Renity

Thanks George, Pat, and Mike for your comments. Really appreciate it. I had gone thru and re-read the posts from George's hosting of the Nanaimo Gathering back in 2009 I believe so it sounds like many of the then good suggestions are still valid. Will give you guys a yell if we make it...

Per the admiral (the wife) our destination prior to arriving at the Sydney Gathering will be Nanaimo. Depending on weather we will hopefully be able to arrive in Nanaimo on 9/2 or 9/3 eventually winding up back in Sydney on 9/5. Since we have never been to Nanaimo previously, any words...

We are heading north this Friday late afternoon/early evening hopefully. We have off from Saturday August 31st thru Monday, September 9th (back to work early on 9/10). No definite plans except winding up at Sydney some time Thursday, August 5th. Hope to see some of you out there on the...

Great to hear we will likely see you out there Saturday AM George! Per Harvey, according to Jeff (race coordinator), look for a yellow shelter / tent on Alki Beach. The starting/finish line will be perpendicular from the yellow beach shelter to a red floating buoy. Since there is no dock...

Thanks for the replies gents and I am not surprised to hear I am not the only person who has had a bad experience w/ BBX. I normally carry my Verizon "MiFi" 4G LTE card with me but forgot it this trip. My MiWi has been extremely reliable everywhere I have tried to use it. I previously...

We spent the weekend at Shilshole Marina for my wife's B-Day actually heading over Thursday evening for an extra long weekend.... we went out to Ray's Boathouse and other nearby restaurants, and walked over to some areas of Ballard along Lake Union, all of which was real new to us so we had an...

Good morning Brian. Hope you, Sun, and the kids are all well. As Dave stated Poulsbo is a nice stopover. Kingston is also a nice location and an easy cruise from your side of the pond. Both Kingston and Poulsbo offer an easy walk to the real nearby down town areas. Bremerton Marina, a...

Hello Glen! Not related to PL or such but I hope you are considering joining many other C-Brats at the upcoming Sydney 09/06 - 09/08 - Vancouver Island Gathering. This would give you and your family an opportunity to meet some of the folks you post with on the C-Brats site. Safe...
