HiGeg:
Great idea!
I too agree about the heat problem. But hey, run a test. Stick a
Thermometer in side and start er up. Please post you results this
aternoon.

Ever run into a family named Miller in your town? Most the kids would
be in their 50s by now.
Bob.

Not yet Bob. We just moved to "Mayberry" six months ago. We're slowly
getting to know folks.

I'll bring the thermometer and post the results.

Great feedback....thanks a bunch!

It's misty this mornin fer sure.

Illwaco is a long ways from here. I understand it can be a bearcat to
get in and out, due to tides and weather. I have yet to attempt it
with my 25 footer. Cathlamet would be my choice if you need to moor
that far up the river. Kalama had an opening for a covered moorage
last month. I believe the rate was $115/mo.

We keep ours in a private boathouse on Hayden Island, owned by a buddy
of mine who charges me $75/mo.

Thanks Greg. My sights were more twords the lower end of the river. I
spent a week at Scooner Creek's yard and the island is a bit too much
city for me. Next time Im up that way I will take a look at Cathlamet.
Thanks for the info.
Good luck with your new spot. And I dont want to see you on KATU
sliding down some street with all that freezing rain.

In that case, check out St. Helens. Our favorite Columbia River
destination. Good food, movie theatre, shops, view of the river, and a
nice marina. I inquired last month and there was a couple of covered
moorages available.

Also measure the temperature outside the box. The temperature inside
the box probably shouldn't get any hotter than 100F. So, you can raise
the temperature outside until you get a 100F inside. Then you can
specify a maximum ambient temperature for using the box.


Great feedback....thanks a bunch!
