We've been sailing the waters of the Pacific Northwest for over 50 years. Like most sailors, we enjoy sharing the beauty of our corner of the world. The small coves, remote anchorages, island towns, and especially the people, enrich our spirits. We hope you'll join us as we visit new destinations.
Episode 46 - Raising And Lowering Our Dinghy
We thought it would be fun to show our viewers how we raise and lower our dinghy.

Nice system to raise & lower the dinghy! Thanks for sharing
Both the stern rail covers and hatch boards look fantastic! Do you do just one side of the hatch boards? What brand of polyurethane do you use?
We only do one side of the hatch boards, so that the wood can breathe. The humidity in the Northwest is pretty high, so it's important to leave a surface for the moisture to exit the wood. I guess if the wood was dry enough to begin with, you could seal both sides. I'd probably still only finish one side even if there was no humidity concern, because it's easier and I tend to be a bit lazy. We've used both Minwax and Varathane brands and they both seem to work well, although the Satin Finish Varathane seems to create a slightly harder surface than the Satin Finish Minwax - but it might just be my imagination. Happy boating!
I had a 34 Catalina and love it! Though I move up to a 380 Catalina and has a much better cruising comfort. Great video brings back good memories.
Looking good!
It's funny what you Yanks consider small but yes I'd concur with your assessment; here in the UK small would generally be under 28', some would say under 20'.. Hey we're all on the water having good safe fun! 🤞
The smallest boat that meets your needs, is the best boat for you. The Book of Sailing . Emeraldsea 9:10
I've never sailed up there, but want to watch the next R2AK with you guys.. or make a run up to Alaska..
It's about a 3 week trip to Alaska from Anacortes, but folks who have made the run say it's better to spend all summer on the trip, so you can enjoy the sights.
We have just moved our boat from Vancouver to Maple Bay and are excited to start cruising this area with its multiple Bays. Your video was a nice introduction. Thank you . www.youtube.com/@sailinglaysan4453
Beautiful 👌 YT channel that I came accross. Loving it so far. Beautiful boat and beautiful people. I was binge watching. Cheers from Toronto 🇨🇦

Thanks!
I'm glad that worked out well for you and solved your starting problem. Greetings from Jamaica.
the biggest benefit to me is that I can have it on my parkway on a trailer, so /I don't have to pay mooring or have a slip, since I don't live far from the ocean (like 15 mins) I save a lot of money!!
Pelican beach looks amazing - the sunset with the solar powered torch was stunning
Thanks!
Agree to everything you said. We sail a Najad 360 which these days is considered small but it can take us anywhere in the world.
G'day from Australia. Size depends on whose point of view you are talking to. I owe a Columbia 27. Under 30 feet i consider it to be a very useful pocket cruiser, as i am a full time live aboard, i need adequate space all round for at least two people to be comfortable to live on and go coastal cruising or off shoure transatlantic crossing.The Columbia 27 fits my bill and is still in my capability to handle on my owen. I am soon to do avlog of my boat. Dealing with weather and health at present. Gerard on liveaboard, SV GEMSTAR.
The Columbia 27 and similar boats are very popular in the Pacific Northwest. I hope to one day be able to sail in Australian waters - maybe just a day sail in Sydney Harbour!
@@bobbonnington Northeast of Queensland and the islands would be a better choice, Almost simular like the Pacific Northwest. And the climate is better than down in N S Wales.
Enjoyed your video and completely agree. For cruising after retirement in 2011 we chose a 1985 Catalina 36 for several reasons. It was affordable, very roomy, good capacities for fuel and water and robustly engineered by Frank Butler. We installed a manual windlass that we could use if our anchor got stuck otherwise it's light enough with 90 feet of 3/8" bb chain and an oversized plow anchor to pull up by hand, which was my morning workout. We installed a full suite of Garmin electronics including radar, sonar, AIS 800, under deck autopilot, 2 chart plotters and VHF radio, all on the backbone cable. We built our dodger and bimini using Sailrite kits and installed 450 watts of solar on top of both. I removed the factory ladder and designed and built a swimstep with stainless and King Starboard and attached a 4 rung swim ladder to it. We needed the swimstep to get our 2 dogs from the dinghy to the boat. We contacted Garhauer marine for our dinghy davits, radar pole and outboard motor crane. We did all of this to follow my dream of doing the Baja Haha cruisers rally from San Diego to Cabo then to cruise Mexico. We went as far south to Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo then north real slow to be in the Sea of Cortez by April. And here is the point of my story, after 8 months of cruising we arranged to just have our boat trucked back from San Carlos to San Diego. The Mexican truck took it to Arizona where a crane picked it up and put it on a San Diego Boat Movers truck! And we actually saved money doing it because the 9K it cost was less than the pension money we saved by being in Mexico! That was 2011-2012 and it was so much fun we did it all over again in 2016-2017. If our boat had been bigger we would have had a harder time getting slips in marinas because the westcoast cruising fleet is mostly over 40 feet.
Your belt seems too loose to my eyes. I have a similar engine (M35BC), and the belt doesn't wobble nearly as much. But as you mentioned, in 28 years there has been no issues so the this tension level appears to work for you.
It has always looked too loose to me, too. I have some experience with other engines and they are typically tighter. I may tighten it up a bit more when I change the oil this fall.
Nice setup! When my current batteries die, I will switch to lithium.
have a link for the raw water pump?
This is the N202M-908 model pump. It can be rebuilt for $160 or less by Cardinal Pumps (314-628-0100). It uses the Oberdorfer impeller UPS 1ZX813720378175128.
where do you get that Software at?
This software can be purchased from Landfall Navigation. However, you can install a newer version at no cost, as a subscriber to our channel. Use this link. www.bonphotos.com/csdl/
I'm running two of those Power Queen 100ah batteries in my small solar system in my home, charged by 1700 watts of solar. I'm slowly expanding my system a little at a time. I enjoyed your video. Greetings from Jamaica.
2 lovely people keep up the good work
well done.
Some interesting takeaway thoughts here... thanks
Beautiful scenery at the end! Lots of work done, looks mint! What was applied to the running gear - a zinc spray or anti-fouling paint perhaps?
This was a zinc spray with some anti-fouling properties added. We don't usually go to this length, but the running gear was looking pretty bad!
The boat looks immaculate! Did you also use the buffer tool on the cockpit and toerails, after you applied the polish?
I buffed the toe rails, but only hand polished the cockpit. A bit of effort, but I only do this once a year.
Thanks for sharing. We sail the Bay of Green Bay and Lake Michigan but regularly visit Anacortes. It is such a beautiful area. We have been out in the San Juan’s. A truly spectacular area. Keep posting your adventures. Thanks again
There's something about working on the boat on a warm Spring day. Maybe its the anticipation of the sailing to come. Thanks for sharing. Love Cap Santi Marina. Always enjoy watching. I've met some great sailors there during my visits.
Thanks for sharing. Love Cape Sante Marina. We visit the area often from our home in Green Bay, WI. We have family in Anacortes. Great place to sail.
We've been there with our current boat since 2000. We even sailed an earlier boat out of that marina in the 1960's. It's close to our favorite islands!
Looks good! I'm jealous that you can run your engine periodically in the winter (mine is on the hard). Question: does your anti-siphon valve (under the head sink) spit out a little water whenever the engine runs? Or does it stay completely dry regardless of engine rpm?
It stays bone dry. We bought the boat new in 1996 and after 25 years, the valve started leaking. It then took a couple of years to find the leak. However, after replacing the valve, it has not leaked a single drop.
Sprinkle talcum powder under the floorboards and look later for track marks. Follow track marks back. Vacuum talcum powder up afterwards
I have the same boat as you, a C34 MK2. By coincidence, I noticed the exact same leak in my boat 3 months ago. I did some research and apparently it is normal for that valve to spit a little while the engine runs. In my previous boat, a Hunter, that same valve also spit water. However in the Hunter, the top of that vented loop had a hose that directed any leaking water to the bilge instead of spitting all over itself. I may change mine this spring to the type that the Hunter had. As you noted in your video, access in that area is ridiculously limited - I've been mulling about enlarging that cabinet door. This will also allow me to make better use of the large unused area back there for additional storage.
I have a mysterious leak too. So this is great:😊
Good detective work! Glad you found it!
I only wish it hadn't taken us 2 years to find!
We have a Catalina 34 in Anacortes and would love to meet up with you guys next summer?
What is your boat name? We'll keep an eye out for you guys!
The classic old camcorder, what a throwback. I've never seen linear moorages before, one day perhaps I'll meander down to the San Juan islands and check them out, looks like an interesting in-between of a mooring buoy and a floating dock.
We're seeing more and more of them being placed in the San Juan Islands. Lots of fun!
