Subject: report on dry run of West Coast July Cruise
Harbors (Catalina) - Dana Point - San Diego.
We departed San Diego (Chula Vista Marina) at 5 AM Friday will full fuel,
full water, lots of food and toys, and no working autopilot. It was to be
our longest passage to date. The hardest part was getting out of the marina
and through the south bay channel in the dark. I was looking forward to a
sunrise on the water but we never saw one, just endless grey skies and dark
water. We saw lots of dolphins and bait fish and even saw barracuda leaping
out of the water in the Pt. Loma kelp, but we didn't have time to wet a
hook. We were looking at a 7 hour trip at 12 knots and we were not stopping
unless an Albacore jumped in the boat.
We actually made 12.5 knots most of the way, at 2200 RPM on the twin Cats.
We pushed it to 14 knots once in the lee of the island because wife and 1
child were seasick - I wanted to get them on land. We discovered that my
wife steers better than I, and it is very hard to hand steer for more than 2
hours or keep it within 10 degrees, and that the longest passage seems short
if you can sleep a lot. I always start and finish and she steers the middle
while I sleep or play with the kids.
We were lucky and arrived at 2 Harbors by noon, it was a beautiful sunny day
and we got a mooring for the 3 day weekend! It was very crowded but fun,
and the kids loved playing on the beach, dancing every night with
glow-in-the-dark necklaces, and hiking the island. The water was 62F so
swims were short. We went fishing one day and so we burned off a little
more fuel than I would like so we wanted to fill up before returning.
Diesel at Two Harbors (or Avalon ) is $2.35/gallon!
So instead we came home via Dana Point, it's only 42 miles from Two Harbors,
and fuel was only $1/gallon (I pay $0.85 in San Diego). We put 179 gallons
on board. Dana to San Diego was 56 miles and then 12 miles to Chula Vista
for a run of 110 miles today. We left Two Harbors at 5 AM and were in the
slip at 3 PM. We cleaned up, unloaded, washed down, and were eating
California Rolls and Goyoza by 5:30 PM. We were able to run nearly 15 knots
coming home, with a quite strong wind and waves behind us all the way, still
at 2200 RPM. The wind blew us into the slip so hard after we were in and I
jumped out to help tie up I thought I left the drives in forward gear
somehow!
We had a lot of fun and now a run of 40 to 50 miles seems easy.
Another thing I learned is that if you have the power to run at 12 to 15
knots it's hard not to use it just for range and mpg. Obviously, when we run
from Two Harbors to Santa Cruz Island via Santa Barbara Island, it will be
different, we will need to conserve fuel. But we didn't really need it
today.
West Coast Cruise
Please join us for a totally unofficial and 100% fun cruise July 12 - 25.
Come for all or part! Families with kids wanted. We will be having a
birthday in Emerald Bay (Heidi will be 8). Trawlers, sailors, or row boats
are welcome (actually, I've never been aboard a real cruising sailboat).
We will meet in Emerald Bay July 12 through July 14. Fill up with that
expensive fuel and to Coaches Preitos on Santa Cruze Island July 15 - 19.
Ventura Harbor July 19 - 20. Marina del Rey July 21 - 22. Dana Point July
23 - 24. Home to San Diego July 25.
By the way, we are cruisers, and fisherman, swimmers, hikers, a happy family
on the water, not a gold plated yacht nor a boat full of wild yahoos.
Hope to see you there!

Subject: RE: Your 40' Tolly
Based upon your comments below, I would suggest that a Tollycraft is NOT
what you would want. Tollycraft is not a trawler in the sense that most of
the folks on this list view a trawler. Actually it's not a trawler from my
viewpoint either. The Tollycraft is a planing hull design. It performs
awkwardly at anything below 6 knots and usually runs up to a maximum speed
of 25 kts. It is a very heavy design for it's style and so most Tollys get
very poor fuel economy, especially with gasoline engines. Our 1973 model
with twin 440 CI gasoline engines gets about 1/2 MPG at 15 kts. If you true
desire is to putt along at 6 - 8 kts and get good long range fuel economy
then the Tollycraft would be poor choice.
The Tollycraft is a heavy, Pacific Coastal Cruiser and is very seaworthy and
seakindly (compared to more modern designed, comparable vessels). It was
designed to run in the Pacific Coast in tough weather conditions. It is
ideal for us because we are not retired and because we have to get back to
work each Monday morning, our cruising range would be very strictly limited
at 6 - 8 kts.
'But in the Seattle area, a Tollycraft at speed makes the whole San Juan,
Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands, etc accessible even on a normal
weekend..... if you can afford the fuel. For example we are going to make a
fast dash from Portland, up the West Coast for the Tollycraft shindig in
Roche Harbor in a few weeks. 2 days up, 2 days back (weather permitting)
plus time to snoop around a bit. We have to do this on a 2 week vacation.
You can't do that with a full displacement boat. (many would argue "who
would want to?") But we can afford the $1,000.00 in gasoline this will cost
but we cannot afford the additional time.
When we do retire, we will be looking towards a more economical, long range,
single diesel design. I just read Beuhler's new book and now I'm all
cranked up about Diesel Ducks. Hope this helps!

Subject: No more GM / DD 2 stroke diesels
surprised to hear that Detroit Diesel ceased commercial production of all 2
stroke based diesels as of 12/31/98.
DD will still make some of these to fulfill military obligations. They will
still make parts to fulfill military and commercial obligations and there
are still some unsold new models in the distribution channel. But no more
new commercial production.
So, that's the end of an amazing era. All the "Screamin' Jimmies", all of
the 2/71 - 12V71 that were made and are still used. I think George Buehler
mentioned in his book that there were 3 million of these out there in the
world.
Does that mean the end of 2 stroke diesels worldwide?? Or are there still
some being made out there at other manufacturers?

Subject: Re: Oil Changes
a bypass filter is used and the oil is not changed for long periods of time.
To keep this short, sludge is caused by contaminates in the oil. If oil
change intervals are extended for any reason, formal oil analysis is
necessary. That analysis will tell you when to change the oil because it
will determine all of the contaminates, including those that can cause
sludge.

Subject: Marguerite Northbound on the ICW -- Memorial Day
know all about this place. For those of you that do not it best to let your
imagination run wild. No not really... Coinjock is know for very large
steaks in the restaurant; fly swatters and cheap fuel although today not as
cheap as Alligator River Marina. It is just a long dock with fuel pumps,
powers, cable TV and water. Not much else. We arrived here around noon
after a sloppy crossing of Albemarle Sound. Wind was from SW which gives it
the longest fetch of any wind direction. Blowing up to 20 mph so the seas
were 2-3 but on the back quarter and beam. So in Marguerite that means lots
of rolling. Put on the autopilot and just sat back. Except for crab pots
which I had no problem avoiding( they are part of cruising folks. Get use to
them!!!) I hardly touched the wheel.
It has been a very full week of relatively short trips each day. Made for a
very easy time. Beaufort to Oriental NC. We tied up at Whittaker Creek
Yatch Harbor... a Boat US Marina and a great rate for the night. This is
sailing country and we certainly could tell here... only about ten percent
of all the boats here were power. The docks are adequate and facilities
great!! They had a car we could use to go to town. The surprise of the day
was when someone came knocking on the boat. It was a fellow Trawler List
member who had tracked us down to meet and greet. His name was Fred Peter.
He and his wife, Jan, sailors now, trawlers owners in the future, took the
afternoon to drive around Oriental and find us. Great fun and we really
enjoyed the visit.
Thanks Fred and Jan.
From Orient we ran up to Bellhaven, staying at Dowry Creek Marina. What a
great facility. Pool and a great dock. They too had a car we could use to
go to town for dinner at the Helmsman. Outstanding food... we both had soft
shells and they tasted great!!! In the a.m. it was off to Alligator River
and our fueling stop for the trip. Well worth holding off. Fuel was 59
cents per gallon. We stayed over night at 50 cents a foot. Had a great run
up the Alligator River Pungo River Canal. Saw a fantastic looking bald
eagle!!!
For you computer fans all the marina we have stayed at this past week have
dedicated lines for computer users except for Alligator River Marina.
Tuesday it is off to the end of the ICW and Norfolk and the Big "C". We are
looking forward to it. Has been a great time and we have meet some
wonderful, wonderful folks who use the "ditch" to move back and forth. For
those of you who ask why not the Great Dismal Swamp route, we are saving
that for the trip back.
Cheers to all,
Marguerite
