Have a 2001 22-paint is good except the blue trim quickly fades after being waxed- every year the blue trim comes back just a little less- short of compounding or wet sanding any solutions-Thanks- Ken

Cape May Lewes Ferry running in Del. Bay today- snotty out here but no worse then a NorEastener-2-3 feet-(so the Marine forecaster say- seems higher to me).Ocean off Sea Isle 6-9 feet. Heavy rain this morning but that has also diminished-winds 20 or so with gusts up to 30. Guess Nantucket now...

As Arthur moves up the coast would like to hear from C-Brats who are experiencing the effects of the storm- I am working the next three days on the ferry that goes across the Delaware Bay from Cape May, Nj to Lewes Delaware- also live on a barrier island so I will report the effects of this...

Need to replace both of my batteries on my 22-90 Honda-currently have two starting batteries-rated 800 amps-wondering if I should get a deep cycle (house battery)and a starting battery- do not spend a lot of time on the hook and do not have/run big electronics while underway or at the...

All wheel drive (60% of power go to front wheels and 40% to rear wheels) works fine on slippery ramps with my Honda Ridgeline-drivetrain also allows for 4 wheel drive to be manually set- never had to use 4 wheel drive on a ramp to pull out my 22. Ken

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)...

Check out this web site- stopped in Sea isle today-doing the great loop. Solarboatchronicles.com Ken

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

You will be on the Barnagat Bay which is part of the ICW-you can cruise "inside" South to Cape May and as far North to Pt. Pleasant/Manasquan area. Would suggest you get charts as the area is very navigational but you have to pay attention to aids to navigation- either way North or South is...

In October, 2012 stopped twice at the dinner on my Erie Canal cruise- the place was for sale- spoke with the owner who had owned the dinner for years- he was looking to retire- surprised to see it is gone- the place was a landmark and would have thought it would have helped sell it-Newark, NY...

Hey Carpy: Planning on a November, 2013 cruise- also launching from Sanford- would appreciate daily posts to get a better "feel" of the rivet. Thanks Ken

In New Jersey they now require every boat operator to successfully complete a boaters education course-been a while but I think it was about an eight hour course with a test-not sure if the waters are safer now on a July 4th weekend but violators cannot say they "did not know" -NJ issues a card...

Great info and description of a neat cruise-planning on cruising this river in Nov. of this year- just wondering for navigation purposes did you use paper charts or GPS chip? Thanks Ken

Looks like the eye of Sandy passed close to Sea Isle around 6- it was unremarkable-Storm increased forward motion and arrived about three hours before high tide- wind quickly shifted to the west- think there was a pretty good storm surge as water came up from the bay fast- I am dry no property...

Local weather station (MGM 40) says storm accelerating and will hit NJ at 5-6 tonight-about 2 -3 hours before high tide which is good-the house I am in is on the property where OME used as HQ in the storm of 62 and they were high and dry -storm of 62 is a benchmark noreasterner that caused major...

Out this AM with the dog at high tide- highest I have every seen in the 35 years I have been on the island-water from the bay has come up the street to within 50 feet of my house-it is beginning to recede and the hope is that it will go down enough that the next high tide will not be...
