Several Cbrats have had dealings with Wefings Marine over the years. Just noticed that they have merged with Nautical Ventures North - last January. Not sure if Marc Grove is still there or not? Wish him well. Rob

HMCS Haida Canada's "Fightingest" Ship turns 80 on Aug 26. Unlike a lot of other marine museums some of its equipment is still operational. They will be firing her A guns(pic in my album) to celebrate and some Veterans will be manning the radio. For any Cbrat Vets who are operating radio...

Just read that the SS Badger has been sold to the Interlake Steamship Company. Apparently they plan to keep it in service. We took the faster ferry(Lake Express) across in 2019 but I do hope to take the Badger again some day. Remember taking the Badger a few times in the late 60's and early...

While most are reflecting on accomplishments of the past year or goals for the next, I like to reflect on how we made it to this point in time and the sacrifices we and others have made. One thing Cbrats have in common is the love for the pilothouse. It keeps the rain off those on the west...

I guess when signing on to Cbrats I have become accustomed to looking certain places at certain things. Did not even notice that we broke a long standing record back in August. 755 viewers on line at one time! WOW the old record was there for so long I had given up on it ever being broken...

Under the banner of recent photo activity I sometimes click on something to see. For example today I saw "Lizzie" so I thought I would see what Marty was up to. His latest photo has 136 views so I don't think that was posted today. He has many other photo's with comments so it could be a new...

A recently revived thread originally posted by a friend in 2015 has brought back a flood of memories. Many will remember Cbrat Larry Patrick. Larry and his wife Joanne bought Dave and Ginny Deem's 23 Venture. They loved the boat and Larry became a very active member here. Larry underwent...
