:lol: Yup! I knew you all would understand!! And no I wouldn't bet $5 on how long I can make it :roll: We got up there and ran into Dave (Windwalker) and his crew getting some "work" done on his C-26... We launched and then motored over to the south end to see if we could spot any Billy go...

5 years! That's how long I been workin on my project Catalina 27... so I decided against putting my C22 in the lake an getting some real work done this year... at least untill July 4th. Butt... the 22 was in the way in the shop! So after spending the last 3 days off washing, dewinterizing, replacing...

Hope you noticed... The last shot of the boat the jib is backwinded and the boat is being towed! It's easy to see the towline on TV if you look for it... And the one with the cowboy gets stuck in the mud while in 2 wheel drive... pulls it out with the horses then loads them in the trailer still harn...

So I thought I would share a 13 min video of our last trip to the Big Island and some cool stuff... pause the video before it starts and read the description belo...

Let you adventure began :lol: I was just telling Capt Scott, I have this problem!! Trying to work on one boat and sailing the other is a matter of discipline... HA! If the w...

Ditto to all from us!

I noticed the other day,,, it was 1630... An it was still light out!!

Ok, it was 7 degrees this morning, reality check there, but more daylight means were heading back to the sunny side : )

Hope you had a great day Scott!

Welcome! Would that be Kootenay lake in BC ?? Beauty eh! If so we're on your southern sister Lake Pend 'Orielle in northern Id. Bayview... A great boat for that lake and we would love to sail our C22 up there!! Looking forward to seeing some picts, we all love them for sure. Good folks here who are ...

Haven't posted in a while, but reading daily :wink: We pulled the boat out a month ago and been busy spiltin wood, and putting up hay for the winter... Geeze the Summer flew by, but we had a nice fall! Took a day to drive the East side of Lake Pend O'rielle to see it from a different perspective. We...

Jeff that sounds awesome!

Noticed you not sayin anything for a spell, missed your skilled input!

Have a great time enjoyin our neck of the country an you better post a lotta picts when you get back!!!

Hee hee...

I never had a tilt meter in my C-22... But I also don't have a windex

I agree!

We often out sail bigger boats that are overpowered and struggling, listing too far and spilling wind anyways.

Proper sail area and some list will get your best speed,,, ya not as exciting, but safer and more comfortable for the crew also.

Alan, We used those small cannisters on horse packing trips. Eventually we had several nearly empty ones laying around, we only packed full ones on the trips. We found a connector somewhere, like a sportsman supply, that allowed us to refill the partials from a larger propane tank. More economical, ...

Yuppers Dave! I have a skull an crossbones Icon tagged as "Vortex" on my gps... Guests ask what it means if they see it... Depending on wind strength an direction the vortex moves! Cold down drafts act like "williwaws" and will pounce on you in several areas, have knocked us down...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0046R5RK6/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/179-7524810-7611425 This is what we've been using in our 22 for 5 yrs. We dont use it but for my morning coffee and washing up... Puts out good heat and the canister comes out easily to store and put the whole thing away. I'seen them used...

:lol: I knew you guys would understand! I have a Honda 15, 4 stroke/electric start. It is nice to have when the wind and waves are up and I wanna go home... I use 3 gallon gas tanks and have 2 in the stern hold. I made the trip back on the tank I refilled before heading home, and there was enough le...

Hello All! Been a busy Summer with few day's sailing... Wife Pam had to have back surgery, Mom in town for a while,,, and I am "training" to do a "Tough Mudder" event in Seattle end of next month. Haven't even touched the project boat. :roll: So... last thursday I was gonna do a ...

Very nice!

Sure makes us want to get over there!!! Thanks for posting. Glad you had a great time!

Hee hee... Love it! We had a similiar situation with a buddy in his catalina 25... Pam an I were laughing as we sailed all over him taking picts. Watchin him tweak trim an look an look tryin to get more speed! I asked her if we should tell him his outboard is still in the water... No, we didn't... T...

Cool! As Ty knows, the jib/jenny won't come down all the way in strong winds and it is spooky up front, especlly if caught by unforecasted winds and your solo! My set up is similiar to Pauls, but this sounds better. Having the sail collapse and balled up some would keep the jenny outta the water and...

Glad we could help!

A little bigger eh... Look for a Chrysler 26 in your area, or maybe a Catalina 25 with the pop top. Catalina are plentiful for a good price, and has lotsa parts available.

Let us know how the shopping goes!

Celebrating this weekend!

Fireworks on the lake saturday night. Could be busy since the 4th was midweek. Spending the night on the lake

Like Bill said, Make sure your wiring is good and all lights work. An be sure to see the trailer. MY OEM is a single axle w/o brakes. I replaced the bearings and races, and bought 3 tires. If none of that has been done recently you'll need it done before trailering, just to be safe. They are great b...
