In early October thinking of cruising the Potomac to spend a few days in DC doing the "tourist thing". Thought of launching at Smallwood State Park but that would permit just a short cruise on the Potomac- anyone have any ideas where I could launch (at a place I could leave my truck and trailer)...

The Press of Atlantic City (on line) has a decent article about how local inlets have changed as well as the ICW as the result of Sandy's visit. Ken

Looks like the Jersey Shore-where I live-is in the cross hairs of Hurricane Sandy- pulled the boat today and will have it stored about 15 miles inland. Will watch Sandy's progress North and determine by Sunday whether I will leave town since home is a barrier island. Like to hear from folks...

Want to find an inexpensive-but nice looking way-to cover my windows on my infrequent overnight trips-any ideas appreciated. Ken

Picked up at a yard sale a used Magna propane gas grill- works great- have the attachment that fits into my fishing pole holder which is located on the port and starboard side of my rails half way between the cabin and the engine-there are gas vents on both sides of the boat-3 or 3 1/2 feet...

I spent five or so days cruising the Western part of the Erie Canal (Newark west)-great cruise- thinking of doing it again but am considering doing the eastern part-however I am under the impression that the eastern part is less scenic - would be perfectly happy doing the Western part again but...

Just a FYI- waited a number of days to get a window of dry weather to do a quick project with 5200. Tube says you need seven days for it to fully cure- in Home Depot yesterday and saw 5200 in a red top tube that claims it fully dries/cures in 24 hours. Good news if it works. Ken

Where my batteries are- between the gas tanks- found some screws that water got into the balsa core- essentially two screws that are used to hold the the plastic holder that the straps go through to hold the battery- drilled some pilot holes and pulled all the battery holder screws out and...

Hello all: Doing the Spring pre launch prep on my 22-moved my trim tabs(electric not hydraulic) and they made an unusually loud noise and one would not fully extend or fully retract. Hit both with liquid wrench and both work fine now - I have done nothing to them in the last 7 years I have...

Noticed that when the engine is running water is coming out from the hole where you flush the engine- (just below the engine cover where you remove the rubber cover to insert the flushing attachment on the rear of the engine) -guy next to me in the marina says the "Popit" valve is stuck- before...
