I have done quite a bit of research on this and ultimately decided on the Manson Supreme anchor. Trouble is, we kind of need it and it is not in stock through Fisheries. We are ordering through Fisheries due to us needing to put it on the barge to Juneau. My question is, is there enough...

Thanks Sarge. We will look forward to the day you come up! We should have good knowledge of the area by then! Sorry that we couldn't get together before we left. Have a wonderful summer and enjoy those boys of yours!! Julie

We just moved up to Juneau and would love to talk with anyone who fishes up here. I have seen many C-Dory boats out in the Auke Bay area. Where are the good fishing grounds up here? You don't have to give up your secret spot, just the area would be great! Thanks, Julie

We are heading over to Blake Island on Saturday to overnight for a few days. Is there anything we need, State Park wise, before we go? Permits? Or, can we just pay our moorage fee when we get there? Thank you, Jeff and Julie

Does anyone know of a good place that would do work on a boat, not engine work, like installing an anchor roller, etc.? Would like a recommendation for something south end, Tacoma area. Thanks, Jeff and Julie

Well, we finally took our dinghy out today for a trial run and wanted to post a quick "review". We were very surprised and impressed with how easy this dinghy was to row and paddle through the water. We have been told by many that any dinghy without a rigid bottom is very hard to move through...

Forgive me if this question has been asked and answered. I have searched many generator threads and either can't find it, or don't understand! We just picked up a Honda EU2000i generator and will be plugging in to our shore power connection on our boat. I just finished reading something on the...

We are going to place our order tonight (hopefully!) for an inflatable. We have finally narrowed it down to 2 choices: 1. Mercury 270 Air Floor 2. Mercury 260 Dynamic RIB Price and weight wise they are both comparable. Does anyone see any real drawbacks with either? We would be storing it...

Well, we had a great time at Bell Harbor this weekend but had a heck of time trying to navigate through the debris fields to get there!! We left Tacoma and headed up East Passage and there was so much debris that we could not get around it. Can anyone help us with general guidelines on how you...

We are finally heading up to Bell Harbor this weekend, after rescheduling for November 2X!! I am looking for easy, one dish (skillet) meals to cook on the Wallas. Anyone have any favorites they are willing to share? I have 2 boys, 7 and 5, so anything tried and true with kids would be...

We are looking at getting a grill for the boat and are not sold on the idea of a Magma type hanging on the railing. Does anyone use or has anyone given thought to one of those Weber or Coleman type portable grills? They use a small propane bottle and fold down fairly flat. We are trying to...

We are a little embarrassed to post this topic but we have never owned a boat with a head before and we are not really sure how to take care of it properly. The manual really isn't helpful with the questions that we have and we have tried the internet but not found any real specifics from...

If you were trying to plan a fishing trip from Seattle, and really wanted to be sure you caught fish, where would you go? I am trying to plan something for maybe early summer and besides catching fish, money is a big factor. We really want to catch some salmon and are thinking that maybe a...

I wanted to hear from seasoned veterans with regards to the WA State Parks docks. Do you generally find that there is space to moor there? I know that it is very dependent on holidays, etc. but if you get there on a Thursday, before a holiday weekend, do you think you would find moorage? We...

Anyone going to be there this weekend? Jeff and Julie

I read through the Wallas topics and couldn't really find this one covered. We have run our Wallas twice now. The first time it seemed to run fine, we only ran it maybe 40min. Today, the stove would run for about 30 min and then the red light would start to blink. SHut the stove down, waited...

Okay, I feel that I am asking a ridiculous question but I have no idea how you hook up to a mooring buoy? Do you use a rope, a chain? Do you use your anchor set up or something else?? TIA for any help! Julie

Does anyone know of a good internet site to get distances between ports for the Puget Sound area? Thanks, Jeff and Julie

Since November 2004, we have been reading this site and preparing to upgrade our 18’ runabout. The knowledgeable postings/people on this site have been instrumental in helping us decide what we really want/need in a boat. Whenever we have a question, this site is the first place (and usually...

Anyone have any experience ordering from this site? They seem to have one of the best prices around on the Raymarine C-80. I also see that Raymarine has a rebate going on right now so I think we will probably be ordering before that time expires. Thanks, Jeff and Julie
