Sorry about the thread drift, but this got me questioning about what I do with my sight tube valves. When away from the boat I keep them closed, and when on the boat I leave them open (the lower ones are not that easy to get to) so I can read them easily when on a trip. What do others do, or...

You obviously missed his point.

If you're going to Stuart Island, I would strongly consider Prevost Harbor over Reid Harbor (I actually love Reid Harbor also) for a couple of reasons - It looks like things will be on the cool side temperature wise, and Prevost will offer more sun (if there's any to be had). You have access...

This part of the post is correct.

I didn't forget anything. I was simply answering his question.

Better view through the salon/saloon windows.

Showing up on vesselfinder.com My recommendation is to always try both sites.

Must have heard it from Marin, who doesn't like anyone within 10 miles. Other than some marinas possibly being full in July and August, I've never seen it overcrowded. Plenty of great anchorages with plenty of space, unlike the SF Bay Area. Exploited? How so? snocrazee - San Juan's, go for...

If your goal is Desolation Sound and you only have 2 weeks, you won't have time to dilly dally in the Gulf Islands. Get there as fast (and safely) as you can. Save the Gulf Islands for another 2 week trip some other time. I've had to do in 2 weeks as well a couple of times. Day 1 Prevost if...

Could you be confused on the wind direction? A north wind comes from the north, it is not heading north.

Bedwell Harbour to Pender Harbour is right around 70 miles, depending upon which pass you choose.

I think a 13 year old should be on a playground.

Can't speak for the RFU9000, but 2 years ago I bought their single door freezer and a single door refrigerator. Both have been great. I had to call them once and they were very helpful. Maybe I was just lucky. And, maybe the RFU9000 is just not designed or built as well?

I use mine all the time in the PNW. However, if it's a little rough or just some chop, logs can be difficult to see. When that's the case, I'll still use it, but only at the helms where I can get to the throttles and/or shifters fast, when otherwise altering course wouldn't be enough to avoid...

For others that don't understand, koliver is not referring to knots per hour vs miles per hour. He's referring to kilometers per hour vs knots per hour and miles per hour. Big difference. If you're in Canadian waters and listening to certain weather broadcasts, it's imperative to know the...

Would this somehow make them less arrogant?

To name just a few, Echo Bay at Sucia, Roche Harbor, Reid Harbor and even Prevost, can easily handle that many boats, especially in September. Nothing to be worried about.

As of last summer (first time I've noticed them), Melanie Cove does have several rings with chains.

Who are the naysayers you keep referring to?

Either your AIS is defective, or you have it zoomed out to an unusable level. I'm always surprised at how few recreational boats in the PNW actually have AIS. Never clutters or overcrowds the screen at any usable level.

Actually, I knew it was a landing craft and have no idea why I typed barge. I see them all the time in the PNW. However, what I've never seen before is a high speed one, or, one that looks that nice (the paint looked perfect wherever I could see it).

WTH is this? High speed Barge/Yacht?

Crisp $100 bill? What a joke! Can't even buy a decent bag of groceries for that. You'll need to up the ante quite a bit in order to impress anyone with any sort of "challenge".
