    DeepZoom.com, anybody use this tool?

    I have used it for quick checks during planning for trips in the South Sound/Puget Sound/San Jaun Islands areas. The attached screen-shot shows that this morning would be a bad time to leave Port Townsend for the San Juans with the ebb current and Northwest wind. Point Wilson can be a killer...

The boat was made of PVC and never had a problem, looked almost new after cleaning it up. We did keep it protected with wax on the aluminum hull and 303 Aerospace Protectant on...

    Kevin did our 7 year old dark gray Ranger Tug and it looked as good as the day it was delivered from the factory (no exaggeration). I talked to him at the Seattle Boat Show and I got the impression that it would be in the neighborhood of $10,000.00 to do our new Helmsman 38e from top to...

    What did you fix on your boat today?

    To keep the shower sump clean we use Raritan CP (Cleans Potties). Start with a clean sump and put an ounce or two in weekely and it stays clean for us. It works for sink drains too but may take more time. Anytime we are going to be away for several days or more we put several ounces in the...
