I'd like to have an aft enclosure made. Has anyone in the Seattle area ever gotten estimates from shops in BC? I'm curious about cost differences, if any. I understand border issues, mooring fees, blah blah blah would also come into play. I'm just curious if anyone found it worthwhile to run...

I just acquired a 10' Navigator dinghy from Gig Harbor Boat Works. The boat weighs approx 75 lbs. I average 8 kts unless I'm getting a nice push from current (I like that!). There is a single attachment point for towing. My previous dinghy had 2 attachment points so I'm unfamiliar with the...

Has anyone attended the 2-day Salmon University Saltwater Seminar here in WA? The next session is in April in Kent. I'm wondering if you consider it time well spent. I enjoy fishing but kind of got away from it a while back. And I've never fished down here in Puget Sound/Desolation. I'd like...

1/15/2106 Diesel at the Port of Poulsbo is $1.75/gallon including taxes. No volume discount.

The Puget Sound forecast for the next few days is looking good & this will be my last chance for a while to take the boat out. I'm thinking of heading south from Poulsbo to Vashon. I'd anchor out in Quartermaster Harbor. It looks like a nice spot with kayaking & hiking options. I've read how...

I'd like to replace some fixed & slider windows. As my walls aren't perfectly flat, I can't use glass, so will likely use acrylic/plexiglass. I need entire window setups including track, frame, etc. The boat is in WA just outside of Seattle. Can anyone recommend a vendor for replacement...

My boat guy, Scott Gienow of Sweet Pea Marine Services, is offering guide/training services in Desolation Sound this summer. He’ll be joining my boat on Monday August 4th and I have him booked for a 3 day run. I’d like to keep him a bit longer to explore some of the more technical aspects of...

I’ll be running my boat solo in Desolation Sound and am interested in hearing from others who stern tie singlehanded. I’ve been reading up on the forums and have a good idea of the stern-tie process, but most people describe a situation where one person handles the boat while someone else runs...

I have chart books for the San Juans & Gulf Islands and Jervis Inlet/Desolation Sound. I also have a strip chart for the Sunshine Coast. However, the east coast of Vancouver Island between Nanaimo and Campbell River is not covered in any of my chart books. Can anyone tell me which chart(s) I...

I’m planning to head north to Desolation Sound towards the end of July, returning mid-August. My dates are a bit flexible. While I don’t need to take my boat guy along, I’d really like to have him onboard for a few days. Scott Gienow of Sweet Pea Marine is the most amazing boat handler...

I'd like to replace the carpet in my boat this winter. YES! I do want carpet, so please, no discussion of the pros & cons of carpet vs. hard flooring. I've thoroughly examined both options and carpeting won out, thank you.:) 1. Can anyone recommend a marine carpet installer in the Port...

I can't believe it, but I'm actually on-the-go. Had planned on running up to Desolation Sound but minor mechanical issues are keeping me closer to home, so I'll be playing around the Gulf Islands & San Juans for the next 2 weeks before heading back to Puget Sound around 9/8/13. Plan tonight...

My 38 yo Plexiglas pilothouse windows are in fine shape, other than the annoying film that's coating them on the outside. I don't know if it's from an old commercial application or if the previous owners put something on them. Regardless, we've tried to clean/polish/remove it to no avail...

I'm planning on running my 48' pilothouse from Puget Sound up to Desolation Sound this summer. I'll have to leave her twice, for about 2.5 weeks each time: Once in early August and again in mid-Sept. I'll also need to get to SEA from wherever I leave the boat, which shouldn't be a problem as...
