The St. Marys Cruisers event is ON this year. We'll arrive in the anchorage tomorrow. There will likely be a much smaller group than in years past. https://www.riverviewhotelstmarys.com/node/12868 The coordinator would like to receive an RSVP from anyone who plans to attend the dinner. I can...

As to your rode's unsecured bitter end, bend on a rod of some sort, long enough that it won't slip through the chain pipe. Should the bitter end of the rope attempt to go through the chain pipe, this rod or stick or piece of wood, sitting sideways, will stop at the underside of the chain pipe...

Yes, we do. Sorry it took so long to respond as we're traveling on the boat. We are firm on the price, and if you are interested, we probably wouldn't be able to ship it for 2-3 weeks, when we return to Panama City. thanks for your inquiry.
