    Pairadice and ASD Alaska Adventure 2017

    Ken, That's great that you got into the fish in that area. We were around there last year and had some amazing fishing. Went back to the same spot this year and it was quite dead ( 3 days earlier than last year ). That was the last week of August. When were you there?

    Pairadice and ASD Alaska Adventure 2017

    I wish we had a speedy boat like you. We'd be crossing tomorrow too. For us at 7 knots it's a bit far from Ketchikan, especially because winds are predicted to pick up in the afternoon. We were going to get going today and stage up at Duke but it's kind of snotty out there. 9.5" of rain since...

    PNW live aboard marina space

    I here ya dhays. Not too many choices when you need to live on the boat in the area. We've called all over the place. La Conner is nice but a bit too quiet. Wifey wants to be near a gym ( don't understand that ). There is an opening in Port Townsend at Point Hudson Marina. My big concern...

    Stench when toilet is flushed

    Peggy, It is definitely the flush water. I rebuilt the head, replacing all the guts including the joker valve, about 6 months ago. We do get a lot of vegetation coming through in some anchorages and I suspect that some is clogged in the rim channel. I'll give your vinegar flush a try. Thanks

    Stench when toilet is flushed

    With regards to dead sea life smelling in the raw water intake - in other people's experience, how long does that take? We have a manual Groco head plumbed with sea water that is only used to urinate. Our flush water starts to stink after about 6 hours. This doesn't seem right. It's been that...

    Charles 30 Amp Isolation Transformer

    I was thinking about doing the same thing - adding an Isolation Transformer and putting it where my Galvonic Isolator is located. I don't see any need for both.

    Noflex in the PNW

    It is made in Canada. Oddly enough though, I haven't seen it for sell here, just in the states. Hmm

    Noflex in the PNW

    We don't have a long history with this product but started using it several weeks ago based on many positive recommendations from others here and on another forum. Based on what I've seen (and smelled) the stuff works great. The pumpout boat here has a nice clear hose so I can see the affluent...

    Car insurance without a car

    I recall a post from someone on this forum who mentioned that they carry a car insurance policy that covers them even though they don't have a car. Does anyone do this? We're going to be selling our last car but would like to maintain a coverage history. Also good for rental cars. Any advice...

    NAIAD MultiSeaII - self centers

    Hey everybody, I'm currently having an issue with my NAIAD MultiSeaII stabilizer and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. When underway with the stabilizers in Active mode, the fins will switch from Active to Center. They stay centered for about 3 seconds and will then switch...

    Southbound from Seattle weather

    Hey, we're getting ready to do the same thing, only in reverse, also on a N46. We're currently in Santa Barbara, waiting on weather to make the turn around Point Conception than plan to mostly harbor hop up the coast. We're not in a hurry so stopping and exploring along the way will be half the...

    Dock line noise

    Not to change the subject away from shrimp and sex, but the soap on the lines really helped with the squeaking lines. The noise was coming from the lines where they stretch while passing through the hawse holes. Two days now and all is quiet. Thanks for the suggestions and now back to shrimp...

    Dock line noise

    We're at Marina Coral. This place does get some surge, but usually not much. The last several days were kind of rough as a winter storm moved through the area. We could see breaking waves from our slip, just outside the entrance. From what I hear, Cruiseport benefits from a double sea wall...

    Dock line noise

    Sitting here in a pretty surgy Marina in Ensenada, and getting tired of all the noise my dock lines are making. Anyone have any secrets for reducing the creaking and squeaking of dock lines? Getting them wet works - until they dry. Cheers!
