Ari the 19 cruiser is for sale (listing just posted on the site)! After 122 nights aboard over 9 years, it's time to switch gears. Our last night was at Patos Island with a stern tie! https://photos.app.goo.gl/wM8e7zdiHTpgfrQA8 It has been a great ride with 3 C-dorys since 2009 and we...

$29,600 with optional items listed at bottom. It is time for us to move on after 9 years and 122 nights aboard, and to prep for a larger liveaboard phase of life beginning in the next 15 months. Aven outgrew the boat at about 14, making it pretty cramped for 3, and we have not had the boat out...

Sorry to the crews who have faithfully contributed pictures, and purchased the C-brat calendars over the past few years. Thank you to Sam of Retriever for getting those started in the first place. We had a good run, but the order numbers grow thinner, and honestly the next few weeks are going...

We are making a run north on Tuesday night (late ferry) to Telegraph cove for a week of boating in the Broughtons. If we get too tired going north from Nanaimo, does anyone have any ideas of places to pull over safely and get a couple of hours sleep? Just wondering if others have a favorite...

If you are a fan of boats but dont like to own and drive a huge vehicle, there is a new option coming to market this month. The Honda Passport is back and is a more compact variant of the Pilot with the same wheelbase and powertrain for up to 5000lbs of towing capacity. Nice to have another 22...

Hello C-Brats! We have been distracted with travel recently, but it appears that folks are thinking about sunshine in May, including dates and conversation about this event. The dates are indeed set with the port for May 17,18,and 19. Moorage should be fresh this year based on dock upgrades...

We are keeping our precious Ari for at least 5 more years and decided to up the enjoyment factor with a new outboard for less weight, fuel injection, and more charging amps. We have a couple of deals lined up down in Portland and up in Tacoma. The pricing is very close and the specs are quite...

We have confirmed dates from the port now! May 18, 19, and 20 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) We added Friday again to the reservation because so many boats show up early each year. Similar plans to last year including lots of dock space, Friday restaurant dinner, and Saturday potluck of course...

Ari will be at the port tonight. Dinner and beer at tizleys and breakfast at bakery. Sunshine! If others start and res-use threads titled "Brat in town/port/marina/park". We could meet up a little easier with a quick check of the forum. Just don't post on those threads unless your are...

Anybody in the northwest looking to sell a well running older four stroke? We have a relative who just had a motor fail on his crabbing boat. He is located on whidbey island. Send me a PM or respond to this thread. Greg

inReach Explorer®+ This will be something I consider closely when I am ready for tracking/messaging because it might do navigation well enough to serve that purpose as well. Two of these on my wilderness trips would be a good resource. Right now we use three GPS units (two with mapping) plus...

I didn't want to step on the good discussion happening on the other thread so I will start a new one and share some thoughts. These are just thoughts of a person who is always weighing options and making moves in the pursuit of fun. Take offense if you like, but I am not aiming for it...

Looks like Torqeedo has some competition. They do not have a US distributor yet but that looks to be inevitable. Unfortunately, the price of entry is high. http://www.epropulsion.hk/ Greg

I finally did it and found the perfect size panels for our roof. But I had to import them from the UK to avoid paying way too much for them. This is where I plan to put them, one on each side. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?full ... _photo.php They are a thin flexible panel and the...
