High Flight, at La Push, Washington
Look for the mast...the only visiting sailboat at La Push on August 24, 2010. Actually, the only visiting *boat* at La Push that day, I think.
We didn't even have the engine shut off and two young Coasties were walking down the dock to board us. They were very courteous. Of course we allowed them to board. All was OK. We later learned that they have a safety boarding quota that they must meet. Not many vessels come in to La Push, so any new vessel is "fresh meat". They were quite eager.
Wind Walker, at Neah Bay, Washington
We met Wind Walker, a Catalina 36 Mk I, which was enroute from Portland, Oregon to Puget Sound with a delivery crew. Had a nice bottle of wine and key lime pie (turned out to be a good combination) on board High Flight, chatting with the delivery gang.

C36 150 Genoas for sale (new) - Drastically reduced prices
C36IA was recently notified that a regional sailmaker has a few 150 genoas for sale, and we are making them available exclusively to C36IA members. Here's the info:
We have five Catalina 36 150% genoas (Standard Rig) that were built as part of a production run for the Catalina factory. We are offering the sails for $1051 each, which is far less than what Catalina or any sailmaker would sell them for. That price includes shipping within the continental US.
For more info, see the Members Only section of the Ship's Store
Bobcat in Vermillion
This is Bobcat #954, docked on the river in Vermillion, Ohio. This was our first "shake down" cruise since we bought the boat in April. This was a 4 1/2 hour sail, west of Cleveland.

Into the Pedestal We Go: Replacing Steering Chain and Wire
By Nelson Lee
This project came about because it seemed time to replace the chain/wire in the Edson pedestal steering system on my 1991 C36. Although I am not the original owner, I had a nagging suspicion the chain/wire was original. I’m sure of that now.
