Pros and Cons I've boated in the Puget Sound and north areas for 20+ years. If you love Alaska you will like the PNW inland waters. And I just completed 3 years of cruising up and down the US East Coast. PNW: your son will need school. Basing in Friday Harbor, WA or Bellingham will give you...

You can certainly make the trip. The real question is how long and at what expense. You may find it actually cheaper to truck the boat north to Olympia, Tacoma or Seattle than drive it. If you consider fuel, engine maintenance, cost of possible repairs, slip fees while waiting for weather...

Congratulations on your first experience in fog. While it is never easy your second experience will be more comfortable. Learn as you go and continue to network with others who have been there done that.

Cheaper by Bus We traveled up and down the US East Coast and enjoyed great public bus service. Since we are both over 60 our fare was normally $1. Can't beat that and with Google Maps it is very easy to figure out which bus to catch to take you where you want to go. Rose Loper KK42 Catharine

Lady Krogen 55 or 58 will give you seakinflyness, comfort and efficiency.

I've used Spectra Watermakers for years and love them. You can get a 12 or 24 volt model which is super efficient. I originally hat the Catalina model with the Auto Flush and loved it. Now I have a Lady Krogen 42 and put in a Cape Horn which is manually operated. The water outputs are about...

Domestic makes the Purosan system. I like mine. It is a hold and treat system that discharges at a specified level and runs off DC power.

Contact Jon Howe in Friday Harbor. Nice man, experienced Captain and superb instructor.

Oysters The oysters are plentiful and delious.

First Time to Maine We are on our first trip to Maine and having a wonderful time. We purchased the Taft Guide to Maine and have enjoyed reading about the places to visit and then planning our route and visits. We primarily anchor and have found some wonderful places to relax and enjoy...
