ran to point sur with my neighbor jeff and his daughter sandra. i was going to take the kayaks but the weather was looking too rough. figured i would at least put sandra to work. she makes a great skipper. the water started out lumpy with an easy 10 knots of wind. just...

they would fit just as well on a 228!

sean and i did. we stayed out in deep water. the four kayakers were able to get into the kelp, around the wash rocks, and fish areas that boats will not dare enter. there is absolutely no beach access for them. basically, no one has ever fished these areas before, and they are only 25 miles...

meet your deckhand, sean! with flat seas predicted, the plan was to mothership four kayaks from monterey to point sur, 25 miles away. ok, two to starboard. two to port. lots of gear. the weight limitation to my boat was of concern, so i ended up running with...

last week i went through all of the electronics on the boat and ran the engines for about 10 minutes each. i also wiped off a couple of layers of dust. after all, it had been sitting idle all winter. everything checked out fine. so yesterday when i tried to hook it up to top off the fuel...

we typically launch out of half moon bay, santa cruz or monterey. rarely we will launch out of oyster point, buzz by san francisco and head out under the golden gate bridge. seas run 2 to 8 feet every 6 to 12 seconds. winds typically run 10-20 kts from the NW with a 1-4 foot chop. oh, and...

personally, i think it's way underpowered. i just checked http://www.gradywhite.com/258/ and it's rated for 350 hp. i had engine trouble last year and had to come back on a single engine. luckily it was down hill all the way. the single 150 worked great getting me home. northern...

this was a typo, right? you mean a pair of 150's, not a pair of 115's. alan

i actually sat and read chapman's, cover to cover, over a month and a half. well, i actually skipped the the sailing section.

hi, ed! the faring block is 21 inches long and holds a 1 kw transducer. there is a 1 inch hole in the hull to hold the tranducer itself, then a single bolt through the hull that screws through from the forward end of the faring block. looks like there is plenty of 5200 gooped on as well. the...

oops, you're right. it's 9.5 versus my 8.5. i was initially worried about the 150's as well, but my 258 seems to have plenty of git up and go! alan

the trailer is a pacific. i launch of of several harbors. frequently i have current going one way and winds going the other. makes for an interesting landing. the side bunks help tremendously. most of the time i have to line up as straight as i can, dead stick onto the trailer to see if i...

i have a 2005 model grady 258 with twin yamaha 150 four strokes. works fine. don't know if that helps or not. alan

yeah, it was cold and foggy. if their rear curtain had not been zipped down tight, i'd bet they would still be alive.

yeah, junior reporter that didn't get the name straight. he heard "grady white" and wrote down "grand light." the boat was well known to those on "F" dock at the harbor. http://cbs5.com/local/capsized.boat.coast.2.876367.html

the harbor at half moon bay, california, has a pair of reefs just outside of the jaws. they are clearly marked with buoys, lining up from bottom end of the southeast reef to the top end of the northwest reef. between the two reefs is a gap of about 100 yards providing safe passage. when the...

had a couple of people ask, so i thought i'd post this. the fish cleaning station that i have mounted on the back of my grady 258 is a 31 inch magma bait/filet table and it comes standard with a single level lock mount. i tried using the single mount and found it to be a little bit...

got a pm last month from a guy named ted (aka stickfish) on the ifish.net board. he was asking about fishing options in the san francisco bay area. i figured that this would be the best bet. welcome back, gentlemen, to the "triangle of death!!!!!" meet stickfish! he was...

took the boat out for a quick run down the coast yesterday. been trying to schedule a day on the water with these guys for the last 3 months and finally found a date when everyone could make it. my crew was made up of 3 dads from the local elementary school (doug, jeff and eric) and an 8 year...
