Thank you once again Dr Bob At least I know there is nothing wrong. Will start out the new boating season in 2023 with a new card I remember when you didn’t have to pay those yearly subscriptions! 😊

I can't say enough good things about Dave at King Canvas in Seattle. All the way from design, to build, to installation, to doing business with he was a champion for us. We did almost everything he recommended. We got the zip out clear panels with velcro attached privacy panels and extra zip in...

This is a screen shot of my Lowrance gen3-9 I know my card is expired. ( I will update it next year) Navionics says they think my screen is doing this because my ipad which is updated synced with the out of date plotter. Is this true in your opinion? Has anyone else experienced this? The weird...

6 hp I have a 4hp, 6 hp, and an 8hp high thrust Both the 4 and 6 will “ move “ the boat, but as has been said it’s all about current and wind. I usually leave the 8 on the boat as it’s too heavy for my dinghy. Obviously it will take me home in any condition. I use it because I already...

That’s an interesting thought! I have to explore this further 😊

Thanks for all the ideas! A tech friend said same thing-go-pro not clear enough I have never tried standing in the middle as was suggested. I have a trip next weekend. I am going to give it a try! Maybe I will even be able to get standing Points on my smartwatch at same time! Thx 😊

Hi Everyone Even though I have a permatrim on my F90, my visibility off my Port bow is not that great. Mostly my wife is on the lookout on that side for me. I was just wondering if I travel by myself, would a go-pro camera clipped onto the port bow rail and live streaming onto an iPad work...

Merry Christmas from White Rock BC “I’m dreaming of….boating season again!” She is just a bump in the snow today! David and Val

Thanks for your input. I understand better now The antenna on my 22 angler is mounted about 1/4 of the way forward of cabin roof which is about in middle of boat. (There were old mounting holes already there) Its only mounted on two pieces of starboard about 3/4' high I have to tip my dinghy...

Hi Everyone I just installed a Lowrance Halo 20 on my boat. As I am trying to understand how it works, I read that it’s minimum range is 50m. (164’) In comparison the Garmin minimum range is 25m and the Raymarine is only 6m Does this mean on mine I will not see any boats or pilings closer to...

Hi Everyone Just want to update you with good news! The hospital released me yesterday to begin my healing process at home Today I am going to sit on my deck and look at my C Dory parked in front lawn and just imagine all the projects coming up ! I can’t thank you all enough for your support...

I am overwhelmed as I lay here in my icu bed by reading your kind and warm hearted responses and well wishes! For many years you have always been there with technical support for me as I worked through various issues we all have Your sincere being there for me now is a whole new expression of...

Hi Everyone Just a quick note to share I just got a new Halo 2 and point 1 from harbour Chandler for Christmas I was quickly sidelined and almost put out of commission with a strong hand of Covid with pneumonia I am still in intensive care now and have been for over a week Just today they...

I am like everyone else here. I want to upgrade to a 25’, but I also want a newer boat and a new truck to pull it all! Guess I just have to subdue all those “wants” for now! Part of the culture of this club is being satisfied with simple. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that! For now it’s...

Because I live above the 49th our plan is Maui in winter and C Dory in summer! That sounds win win to me!

I had a Danforth anchor on and changed it over to a Manson My Danforth pulled out and collapsed one night with the turning of the tide. I couldn’t find my boat for awhile in the morning. Luckily no damage. I since learned it is best as an anchor for one directional pull. I still have it on-board...

I have never used a snubber I will try that Thanks!

I don’t know if this is directly relevant to this discussion but I went all chain a couple years ago and now I am going back to rope and chain The reason is because of something a person may not think of at first- When we are anchored, the chain slowly drags on ocean floor as the boat moves...

That hurts just reading about it! Ouch! I once dropped a bowline on the freeway and ran over it with trailer It bent my stainless railing all to heck I feel your pain my friend! At least it’s fixable David and Val
