Fun video, thanks for posting. Time to get ready for the upcoming boating season.
Ever sail on Lake Sunapee or Squam Lake? I spent all my childhood summers on Sunapee, love NH.

Re: Advice for first summer moorage

I have kept my :macx: on a mooring for 3+ months during the summer going on 11 years now. I redo my bottom paint every 4 years and touch up as needed each season, no problems with growth except for light slim at the waterline. I keep my tohatsu tldi tilted up and don't flush with fresh water until I...

Re: Another silly question !

Stan, the :macx: mast doesn't have an end cap, just an open hole. It has never been a problem for me here the Pacific Northwest, I did have some swallows try to build a nest in it once though.

Re: Pictures taken from your MacGregor

Great photos of the Apostle Islands HB. Places like that are the reason I want the Admiral onboard with keeping our :macx:.

Re: Farewell friends... From Mac26 to Cat36

Nice boat Paul, great photos and video, thanks for sharing. You and yours will enjoy the additional space and feel. We are getting used to maneuvering our Baba 35, docking her is not a easily done as with our 26X. I see your Cat 36 is a fin keel, she should be fairly easy for you to dock as they ste...

Re: Quick peek at my 2005 M

Hey Paul L. We keep our Baba moored in Oak harbor, its a long drive for being close by. Great marina, nice facilities and down to earth staff. Too bad Camano doesn't have a marina on Utsalady Bay, we would be at the boat daily. We finally had someone look at our 26X last night, it was nice to have a...

Re: Quick peek at my 2005 M

Greetings from another Camano Island Paul. Nice boat and great pictures. We just bought another boat during the spring, a Baba 35. We listed our 26X online, quite a few Macs for sale in the Puget Sound region currently, I haven't had any luck selling yet. Not sure I want to, I love my :macx: and wou...

Re: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Happy Holidays from Camano Island. Port Susan is rolling white with SE 20 mph wind. Metronome is currently out of service for the winter. Looking foward to spring, enjoy 2013.

Re: A Major MACFAUX MOD

The Gemini 105M and 105MC headroom is from 6' to 6'2" in the interior and 6'5" in the cockpit. I'm taller than that, have problems standing in any boat :|. I can only stand in the companionway of my :macx: under the dodger.
