Hello fellow CDers

I just want to let anyone that is interested know that there is a newly added log entry to Rhapsody's Log highlighting a trip that my granddaughters and I took in the Fall of 2007.

Here is the link:

Great adventure with the grandchildren. I envy you. My granddaughter is only 3 and I can't wait to do a similar trip with her. She is a real water lover already and when the time comes I know she'll go crazy the first time she's on my boat!!

The opening aboard my CD25D above the engine is sized to fit a standard plastic dishpan. I bring it up to the cockpit to wash and rinse in salt, then bring 'em below for a freshwater rinse (well, sometimes.) I was thinking it'd be cool to have a small cooler/insulated box there - to keep beverages cool, or to grab for a quick picnic ashore - when I saw your pics, but then remembered how warm the engine room can get if motoring.

The opening outboard of the hob is sized to fit a standard kitchen garbage can. Which in turn is just slightly too large for the current size of single-use grocery bags - have grocery bags shrunk over the years?

Anyway, the point is there are cheap rubbermaid brand replacements available if you ever want to go back to the way they were used originally.
