Re: Are there Lake Powell People on this Site?
I had to cancel my trip because of COVID quarantine restrictions in New Mexico. Looking forward to a trip next year somewhere-- Powell is still high on the list. By then I may even have a Snark to play with --- sailing when I'm not sailing.

Re: A lazy cruise on the St. Johns River Florida
Can't wait to see the photos. I dream of dragging my better half down some of those rivers and canals doing similar lounging.

Re: Vertical Thermocline?
I saw a similar line when I took a sailing class at Saint Andrew Bay Florida-- we popped out into the Gulf of Mexico and there was a distinct line between the fresh and sea water.

Re: Are there Lake Powell People on this Site?
I was supposed to arrive at Lake Powell last night. Unfortunately the Governor put in a 14 day quarantine requirement if you go out of state so that would mean taking 3 weeks off of work. So now sitting around the house for vacation but trying to figure out how I can "fake" raise my sail in my garag...

that picture of your boat at the dock is framing worthy!

Re: Lake Chelan to Stehekin
That would be a great place to have a Mac Round-up. Every time I think I have google earthed every lake in the country I hear about another one like this. I also like that it is long and skinny with a few stops along the way-- it would be a great week to spend there. The pictures are great-- I love ...

Re: Quick trip to the San Juans
Sounds like it was a nice trip. How did your truck/trailer logistics go? Did you use a marina and just pay for the parking?

Re: is this forum for "trailers & towing" only or can we talk about tow vehicles?
Update on the 2018 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. Did a 1192 mile test towing a 1800 pound uHaul trailer. 15.5 MPG on a running AVG of 55MPH (according to the computer). I set the CC to 78 MPH on Interstates. The Diesel definitely reduced the driver fatigue by knocking the tops of some of the medium/small hill...

Re: Are there Lake Powell People on this Site?
I booked a slip for ~$39 at Bullfrog marina labor day showing up Thurs night Sep 3 (hotel is $150-200 a night). Cavoite is that Bullfrog is mid-lake and I have at least 2 brothers showing up but they have ski boats, 1 has a house boat share as well so we have different experiences planned each day :...

Re: BBQ options
I have the original (small) Magma kettle gas grill with a mounting rod I put on the rail. I also have the extension rod, which helps, as there's no good place to put it in a Mac power sailor. But I do store it below decks, upright in a compartment under the v-berth. One-pound gas bottles next to th...

Re: Ok to epoxy parts to fiberglass hull?
Sounds like a good plan. An extra benefit was the caulk absorbed vibration and if I want, I can use a knife to remove it. That is a good point. I might do that instead. It will be in an Inspectable location so to reduce the permanency slightly would probably be a good thing if I ever wanted to swit...

Ok to epoxy parts to fiberglass hull?
I have a battery charger on the way. I want to make one of my bins under the seat as an Electronics / Power Center since I already have a charge relay and battery switch in there. Previous owner had to cut holes to mount the wood which has some of those parts mounted to it. I don't want to continue ...

Re: Just bought a 1987 Macgregor 25 HELP
I was talking to purplethunder over on Facebook. i think he transposed the year 1987--- should be 1978.
It was in discussion over there that this may be a Catalina 22. Anyone know for sure?
