What is Aspen gas?

On our CHB 34 there was a floor in the bottom of the anchor locker. I removed that to allow use of all available space in the bow. I store 150’ of 3/8” chain in this area. I also had a stainless steel hawse pipe made to guide the chain off the gypsy into the anchor locker. Still have to knock...

Looks like you’re from the Victoria BC area. I’ve found that used marine parts/consignment stores such as Spencer’s in Sidney have lots of Weaver parts.

Thanks Mike. That’ll work

Like the new look of TF but having a couple of issues: 1. It seems that reading to the end of the thread does not always cause its title to change from bold. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. I’ve even gone back into a thread to see if there has been a new post since I viewed it and found...

J 15, Thanks so much for the amazing documentary of your trip. Having cruised these same waters many times it brings back wonderful memories.

A favourite anchorage of ours in the Sidney area is Russell Island. Nice hiking around the island and an historic farmhouse.

Looking forward to following your trip. Safe travels.
