    It's Been a Devastating Year

    Hi guys ...I haven't been on this forum much this year and well, it's been a devastating year to say the least. Last April, my dad (who lives in Texas and is 71 years old) started noticing some blood in his urine. He made an appointment with a urologist who diagnosed him with overactive...

    Best Wax I've Ever Used

    I'm sure some of you already know about and use this, but wanted to post my experience. Someone posted over on the FB group the results they had with Collinite Fiberglass Boat Wax 925. So I figured why not give it a go. Nothing I've used up to this point has been all that great, and I've...

    Jammed Impeller

    I’ve got a Hardin gen 7 seawater pump with a jammed impeller. It spins no problem but won’t budge a hair off that shaft. I’ve tried everything under the sun to get it out. (short of an impeller removal tool which I don’t have as I’ve never needed one.). This was the impeller that shipped from...

    Directorial Debut Tonight

    I directed an episode of the long running WBTV show "The 100" this past January, and it finally airs tonight on the CW, tomorrow on Netflix. I've been a producer and VFX Supervisor for this show for 6 seasons, and finally got to direct an episode. It's a BIG episode story wise, so I feel very...

    Smooth Water ..

    Crossed the Strait of Georgia from Vancouver en route to Gulf Islands this past weekend and the conditions could not have been better. Shot this little video out in the middle of it. Just love it when it’s like this. Far cry from the 30kt wind and 4-6ft seas we encountered in July. And a...

    A Perfect Day

    Had pretty much what I’d consider a perfect day on the boat last weekend. With temps right around 90 (major heat for BC) the 65 degree water was incredibly refreshing. And bonus: I had noticed a slight vibration that was causing some concern and so I took the opportunity to swim down to the...

    Maybe the Best Photo I Ever Took of my Boat

    I’ve taken some pretty good ones if I do say so myself (photography is a big part of my profession) but this picture at anchor the other night might be one of the best. This was all natural light, just after the sun set. I think it’s pretty darn sexy. :)

    Would You Cross in These Conditions?

    We’re headed out This morning on a 16 night trip through the Canadian Gulf Islands. Only issue is to get there, we have to cross the Strait of Georgia and conditions don’t seem ideal today. It’s about a 30NM crossing in open water. There’s a strong wind warning in effect With winds this...

    Social Distancing This Past Weekend

    With temps in the 80's and nothing but blue skies, we took full advantage and social distanced to the full extent this weekend. Big mama black bear..not the greatest photo but I didn't want to get any closer. :)

    New Dinghy!

    I attended the Vancouver International Boat Show yesterday, and purchased a new dinghy! I’m thrilled! Zodiac 300 with a Yamaha 20hp. It’s a major upgrade from our old 2005 aqua pro with the Honda 8hp ..Uncomfortable as heck and can’t get on plane with 2 adults. This new baby will be like a...

    Does Anyone See a Problem With This?

    I just received my new delta anchor, and low and behold it would not retrieve in the roller used by my old CQR. It just wouldn’t fit without the tip hitting the bow. So what I did is I removed the second roller so now when the shank is pulled through, it’s pulled through at a lower angle which...

    F11 Topcoat

    I keep getting FB adds for this stuff. It looks pretty spiffy in the ads, and so I'm wondering if anyone here has ever used it, and what you thought of it? Supposedly it doesn't only replace wax, it replaces window and interior cleaners as well? I don't know how that's possible, and so I pose...

    Spring has Sprung

    We’ve had temps close to 70 the past few days and nothing but sun. I spent 12 hours on the boat last Saturday doing a thorough spring cleaning. Even managed to finish polishing and waxing everything above the rub rail. Still need to haul out in a few weeks to do the hull plus various...

    AIS For Your Smart Device (Boat Beacon)

    I came across this today and was curious if anyone had any experience with this, or has used something similar. It’s an app that (apparently) enables you to track vessels with AIS, as well as broadcasts your boat’s position through AIS. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it might be worth a try...

    January on a Boat?! (Brr)
