@@M-R-travel Marina slips tend to run between $1.25 to $2.50 a foot in that area depending on marina. All the places we stayed had showers, some charged a separate fee to use the shower, others were free with slip rental. Slips can be hard to get mid summer so we always book our slips a few months in advance. Hope this helps.?

@@af5235 We just visited for a couple days ( transient morage), we’re from Oregon.

That’s interesting, small world. That was a beautiful day to be on the water!

@@woody6856 Thanks, it’s one of my favorite pieces! That Italian restaurant is amazing!

Thanks. Yeah I considered adding another panel on the roof rack, and a dedicated Victron controller. The problem for us is we have a Yakima roof storage box and a kayak already on the roof, so there is no room for an additional solar panel. We generally boat on our local lakes in Oregon , which after 6pm all the boats clear out, then we plug our Honda 3000 watt suitcase generator into the boats shore power receptacle and have unlimited power. The Honda 3000watt will stay in ‘eco mode’ even when under a moderate load so it’s very quiet. I think when we’re in the San Jauns we need to learn to be more conservative with our power consumption.

@@biobanker I gave the additional solar panel a lot of thought and research, I’ll do a video on why we did what we did soon.

Interesting, we will have to put that on our list of places to visit. Thanks

That’s the way Ranger set the boat up, it seems very stable and solid. Sail boats often mount there dinghy to grab rails, this is a similar concept.

@@michaelbartyzal1306 Got it, thanks. Our R25 didn't have this option so looking to add it myself. Would love to see a picture of how it was installed. I should be able to put it in the same spot, just may need some starboard on the back to strengthen the transom.

@@paulycomtois We had a R25 OB before this, and this boats (R27) transom area seems much stronger, so I suspect some reinforcements are probably in order if you want to mount a small OB. Below is a link to a short I did for you showing the mount. ruclips.net/user/shortsBSrxXPdNHVw?si=O291mjQ4vNjYeUGR

@@rosemariewyatt-cs5mb Yeah, the fire boat was practicing close quarter maneuvering. They did much more than what I recorded

Yes

Yes it was!

One of my favorite stops!

Yes!

Yes they did!

Ok, thanks.

I understand. You live in a beautiful area.

Poet’s Cove resort on South Pender Island Canada.. just a quick ride from Roche Harbor or Stewart Island

It’s a great place, well worth the time and money!

Canada, dang! Not leaving the country til after the apocalypse!🤣

I agree!

Yes, it’s a Great mid trip stop.

Yeah, if you have your own boat there is lots of areas to explore, we only saw a little of what’s to see in that area.

Unfortunately we left this morning. Thanks for offer, you live in a beautiful area!

Next time look into Deep Cove and Indian Arm. It’s a great picturesque fyord close to the city and you can reserve mooring balls for cheap. It’s worth looking into its so close.

@@biobankerOk, thanks for the information, we will keep that in mind for next time!

Ok, thanks for the information. Are those boats owned by the government, or are they privately owned ( for hire)?

@@michaelbartyzal1306 I don't actually know. I've always assumed they were privately owned. So, I put my money on privately owned.

Yes, we googled it.

Yes we did. The factory Lewmar was actually ok, we anchored with it in some lakes with suboptimal bottoms and it did ok in strong winds . We just wanted more holding power for off boat dinghy excursions in the Puget Sound (tide & current) . Many people report having good experience in the Puget Sound with the factory anchor, we just wanted a little more peace of mind. There is probably better ‘modern’ anchors than the Rocna, but we knew the Rocna would fit our craddle do that’s what we bought.

Sorry, thanks for watching! We’re new to filming this stuff . We will get better!

Hi, I’ve lived in SW Oregon my whole life and have never camped at Broken Arrow, only Diamond Lake Campground. Anyway, there is only one ramp at Diamond that I know of that’s suitable for launching this boat and it’s in the Diamond Lake Campground. We launched our old R25 at the ramp by the Marina once and it worked, but it was sketchy. No way would I attempt launching this R27 at that ramp. Camping on a boat at Diamond has other advantages other than reservations, like there are no mosquitoes in the middle of the lake. As you probably know the mosquitoes can be bad at Diamond around the shore. I will make a video about trailering this boat soon, stay tuned.

@@lukeerickson8154 Me too!

Yes, they grow up fast.

We had the Lewmar ( Bruce ) anchor on our last boat (R25) which we had good experience with as long as we were in an area that has good anchor holding characteristics. The Rocna seems to do better at holding in anchorages that have less than ideal bottoms for anchoring. Overall I think the Lewmar is a decent anchor, there’s better anchors of course, the same could probably be said for the Rocna.

I agree!

Thanks, I typically just beach the dingy so the dog can go potty, Then I go back to the boat. I never pull the dingy on land.

@@michaelbartyzal1306 I understand, we cruised for 6 years on our Catalina 36 sailboat with two dogs. Once you get wheels and get used to using them you will love them. Just another boat buck at WestMarine.

Yes, we were running the HVAC on the batteries all night.

It’s not like that all time.

The new R27 is even better!

Watch episodes 3 through 9. All those episodes are of the new R27.

Yes it is.

It might be. We traded in at Ranger Tugs, so you would need to contact them.

Thanks

They had to adjust the trailer for the boat while it was on the lift. Also no boat ramps in that immediate area.

I’m assuming your asking about that haul out cost? If you are I have no idea, we didn’t directly pay that fee.

We’ve been thinking about a plug upgrade.
