PS: The alternate route I discovered and was highly suggested on several website searches for larger motor homes towing vehicles etc, was for avoiding the VERY STEEP climb up the grapevine along I-5 in southern CA... It would take us to the coast around Santa maria just north of Santa Barbera... Two...

Hi all, Well, Dayenu has been put to bed, cleaned and covered... a list of modifications and things to do now span the marker boards of the shop with a dream/planning chart of the San Juans and the southern Canadian gulf islands...

Same problem here... I was thinking of routering out a space along the side of the rudder nearest the bottom. Placing the rudder in our hot tub and adding lead weights so get a more neutral buoyancy, then taking the lead and pouring it into the routered out space, then covering up with west and micr...

This thread caught my eye
We just covered Dayenu (made a crutch for the mast to be raised off the bow and stern rails about 18" to provide space underneath to work in and on the boat this winter. We have our San Juan Island charts on the walls and ten linear feet of "TO DO" lists on the marker boards in the sh...

PS: Another lesson learned!
A new vital piece of "equipment" has found a permanent place in Dayenu...
My snorkel gear!!!! (especially my mask!)
Once thought of as only recreational, I now consider this gear as vital for all sorts of underwater emergencies! Permanent home on Dayenu!

C-26 Cabin cushion removal... How to?
Hi Guys! Thanks for all the advice so far... One of my projects slated for this winter is building a new galley... Like some of you, I want to extend the port-side counter forward where the smaller back-rest cushion is... I don't want to rip it off and damage anything... How is this removed? Does it...

Thanks for noticing all the smiles... Our hearts were certainly full on this trip... There are so many places I could begin, so I'm just going to let her fly knowing I won't begin to cover what I'd love to share... How about background?

Dayenu Shake Down Cruise
So much to share but I'll have to post in installments... First off, Thank you Bob & Betty Cotton for welling us "Easy Street". We think of this as more of an adoption rather than a sale... hopefully you will see how much we love her in the "Fix Up" photos... Our intention wa...

Thanks Mark! I wasn't sure what voltage range these LED's were capable of withstanding, so I just followed the voltage of the batteries they were originally manufactured to use. I wonder if the marine LED's are designed for 12 volt, or if they contain resistors to bring the voltage down? Maybe depen...

Thanks for the kind reply.... The more we thought about the change, the better we actually felt.

We could feel our shoulders drop...

:( Well, we had everything line up, San Carlos slip, hoist use, secure storage for the truck and trailer.... but due to an illness in the family, then cash flow for extras we wanted (like a dinghy and small outboard), we finally decided to postpone the trip until next year. The reality is work has b...
