Hello Tim, In your camping adventures with your M17, do you ever make it up to the North Channel of Lake Huron? I've been there once with mine, and would certainly love to return. I launched out of Spanish Harbor. Mr. Bones Mpls ____________________________________________________________ Affordable Wireless Plans Set up is easy. Get online in minutes.

Hi all, for anyone that's interested here's a short 3 min video of the inflatable I bought in case you're looking.. sorry I forgot to shoot the motor mount. It also comes with 2 seats and the paddles and pump. No bag! Luckily I have a handy dandy laundry bag it goes right in... https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7xh9nlx9vp13yu/miniyacht.mp4?dl=0 Jazz

Here is a website I use to vicariously satisfy my urge to go sailing when I can't as well as find out how to do stuff. It costs about $35 a year but it is worth it! Their tutorial on fiberglassing and fastener selection alone is worth the money. Check it out, there is a lot for small boater enthusiasts to identify with and enjoy. I have no connection to this website except as a subscriber. http://www.offcenterharbor.com/tour/ Fair winds, Tom B <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

Centerboard hole fix attempt #1
by Jazzy 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Made a home Depot run and found a product and a gadget. Attached is the product, and the picture of the gadget, oops...forgot! But, if you can picture a tiny top hat made of pvc, that's it, plumbing aisle. I had to drill and round the edges of what would be the top of the hat for the pendant. Of course it went in top hat top, down. I thought I'd try the water weld on account that's it's sandable. Cures in an hour... 6.00 fix if it holds. I'll report back when it doesn't. Hahah! Jazz

Water through centerboard hole

Hi all, Do you guys get water splashing inside from the centerboard hole? I get it sailing and when raising it. What are your solutions? Also, got some help (on account of my pissed off back) and El Nino is looking smart and capable in his new home! Jazz

Splashed Pajarita today!
by John Schinnerer 13 Jun '16

First time out this year, later than desired for various reasons but glad to get her on the water. Launched at Emigrant lake just minutes away (I live in Ashland, OR) from home. Busy warm Sunday, lots of testosterone boats zooming around pushing up some chop to enjoy from time to time. Typical lake sailing, winds variable and shifty but enough to keep moving decently in the afternoon with some gusts to verify she still rounds up nicely if necessary. Anchored in a small cove for a swim and lunch partway through the afternoon. Girlfriend Judy and sailing pal Keith (Ranger 20) along for the day. Steered with the newly installed slide up rudder I got from Rick...that project being part of the delay in getting sailing...works well, thanks Rick! Some other sailboats out too - a beautiful wooden 16 1/2 ft.camp-cruiser (sail-row, centerboard, yawl rig with small mizzen & gaff main). A sunfish off in the distance. Some other sloop-rigged dingy didn't get close enough to ID. A beautifully preserved old Capri 14.2 with sloop rig - a teen boy and his younger brother taking their first "solo" without "Grandpa" on board. Unfortunately, mid-tack apparently, the screws holding the base of their tabernacle sheared off after about 10 minutes and they were dismasted and had to be towed back. Nobody hurt and no other major damamge...just a dunking and some frustration at the short sail & repairs needed. cheers, John S. -- John Schinnerer - M.A., Whole Systems Design -------------------------------------------- - Eco-Living - Whole Systems Design Services People - Place - Learning - Integration john(a)eco-living.net - 510.982.1334 http://eco-living.net http://sociocracyconsulting.com

Just returning from a few days in San Diego on a trip with a higher than normal disaster factor, even for me. Most of it was not boat related, so I won't bore you with it. I did come close to pranging my boat by, first, trying to motor onto the trailer in a stiff crosswind, and second, failing to recognize that it wasn't working and looking for a new plan. As usual I'm learning a lot, all of it just a bit late.
