Hey John, In an email not long ago you mentioned a 750cc engine that Thermo King uses and I can't find any info on their engines on that web site. Did you just...
Glad you made it back in one piece! We were worried about you getting caught in that Hurricane. We had a good time at Siltcoos without you, but I wouldn't have...
Has any one ever used mooring whips at a dock. They are new to me. The price is high but the idea could be used. http://www.dockbuilders.com/mooringwhips.htm...
Those mooring whips look like a good idea, maybe someday you could use a bunch of those! I wonder if a guy could substitute a springy tough type of wood...
Pat Sorry I didn't get back to you in time to sell you on the trip & show. A lot of mechanical stuff. 1/3 and 1/4 scale Chev V-8 s, small radial engines,...
Hello there- My name is Myles Twete. I just joined this group after seeing Lon Wells' invite to the RiversWest group for next years' Caterpillar Island...
from terry: Sounds like you all spent some time as f'd up as us. I wondered why John said it wasn't exactly a calm time. Your own little hurricane? I'm trying...
From Terry: Whoa! Sounds like you all had as much fun as we did. Actually from your descriptions I'm glad I was in Baja, since I had thought I would take...
I never heard of them being called "mooring whips" but these are very common on the Mekong River. Bamboo poles keep boats from banging on the shore when river...
No Problem I probably wouldn't have made it down There anyway, but Portland. Now, I might work up enough energy to venture up there to see all those cool...
Boy! That is Not the 2 sheet instant boat that won the contest. Very Nice. I'm glad it found a loving home. I see some #2 Pine in there. I've used it for...
It Is a Very Small World. I am very excited to read your message. I've been looking for Sam McKinney anyinfo on his boat ever since I read his "Reach Of Tide"...
I did find the limited info on the engines we have been talking about. They don't give much useful information like weight, dimensions etc. The weight they...
That's a beauty! Sean used the Good Stuff, with a little care that boat should still be good for Quinn's kids, and theirs. <g> Quinn won't outgrow the boat,...
The trouble is that if we have the Siltcoos messabout a week later next year, so Kay and the camera can attend, it'll be the same weekend as the PRIME show in...
Welcome aboard Myles! I thought Reach of Tide looked like a _really big_ 16' boat! <g> We only saw it end on from the slough, so we couldn't really tell her...
Too bad Thermo King doesn't give more info on the engines. I'll bet they aren't built by Thermo King, but who? Their site does give some idea of the range of...
OK, Let me do some cogitatin' But sounds like the Prime show and Kay's event Are set in stone. Who still has an airplane? Pat ... next ... as the ... the date ...
Woodrow spent Wednesday and Thursday of this past week sliding through 6" water on one of the lakes on the east slope of the Cascades. We tried Pat's...
John, I prefer to think of it as a second teenage years, and it's a lot better than the first! Back then it was all a rush to find out what life was all about...
From Terry: I helped a guy build the smaller open Pelican (12' ?), and we sailed it all over Siltcoos and in the bay at Florence. It was roomy, handled good,...
Never one to let my lack of knowledge get in the way of My Opinion, here it is. I think the Great Pelican would be a Great Boat. A Great Big Boat. Much bigger...
Interestingly, last month I was going through Anacortes (on my plastic boat!) and ended up in the Cap Sante Boat Haven next to a Super Pelican. I talked...
Daniel Taylor, who's been to Depoe Bay a time or two (with Lost Coin) used to have a Great Pelican. I never got real close to it, but here are a few pictures: ...
Since you boys are talking large sailing Scows what about the Grand Dame of Sailing Scows Alma http://www.cr.nps.gov/maritime/nhl/alma.htm She was used between...
