Re: mystery boat?

Wallace Island being right above the top of Puget Island and right at Cape Horn, it would be very windy and with large waves in the late afternoon on the North side of the island. Probably less dramatic arrival to overnight on or anchor near one of the islands upstream of there. Having said that, I’ve only motored down that way now twice in 25 years…

Good to know it's out there, as I was thinking of the backside of Wallace Island as an anchorage and I'd hate to meet that on the way to Cathlamet!

Using OpenCPN
Trying to delete just the Big attachment, I managed to delete John's whole message! <sigh> Here it it is, for posterity, minus the file, which is now here:
http://www.coots.org/Tides/ -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [oregoncoots] Using OpenCPN Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2021 09:09:07 -0700 From: johnacord <jcacord@...> Reply-To: oregoncoots@groups.io To: oregoncoots@groups.io Of course if you can find another Harmonic file..... https://flaterco.com/xtide/files.html#harmonicsfiles <https://flaterco.com/xtide/files.html#harmonicsfiles> The file is in a compressed folder so you will have to extract the file itself. I've attached the file, hopefully it will get through(big file). Also on the page is a list of all the stations. Lots of them! Once you have the file it is just a matter of adding the file (dataset) in the Tides & Currents settings. If you leave the original file you will have a lot of duplicates, so you will probably want to remove it. Removing it does not delete the file, just quits using it. With Android you may want to copy the location of the original file; my file manager would not see the file location. Attached is a screenshot of tides for Portland area. Several more than what came with OpenCPN. :-) John A. -- John <jkohnen@...> Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Re: Using OpenCPN
Thanks, John! I had trouble unpacking the .tar file from the XTide Web site, but the .tcd file you attached works fine. I just removed the harmonic file that came with OpenCPN from the choices in the config menu and added the one from XTide. :o)

We don't have much storage space for files, photos and attachments from groups.io, so I'm gonna delete the Big file you attached. I've put it, with a more descriptive name, here: http://www.coots.org/Tides/ I didn't have any trouble finding the harmonic file directory on my ancient (2016) Samsung tablet. In the internal storage: Android/data/org.opencpn.opencpn/files/tcdata OpenCPN opened to the directory when I went to change the harmonic file it was using, but I may have accesssed that directory sometime since I installed OpenCPN...

I just wrote to Allen this morning asking about using Cathlamet as the weekend site. That way, anyone who couldn't or didn't want to make the trip from Portland could still get together. I could see two or three days each way. That's why I was researching Wallace Island Slough. Or Crims Island Slough. Or? Any interest in that scenario? Mark

Re: mystery boat?

Back in college a buddy and I were visiting Vancouver. We went to Husong and Larry’s for cocktails and a late lunch. There was a strong East breeze and the Corp had released a bunch of water out of Bonneville. There was a push tug with three barges that pretty much was stalled there pushing current for the three hours we were there. Was going to be a long push up to Lewiston at that rate!

Yep, and the two side streams of water from the barge. It made me wonder why they cut the barge image when splicing the aerial photos.

Ordering Parts and a Solution Coming !
Thanks for the common sense John. Since I have the upgraded cores now, and really don't need the other stuff, I can get off a lot cheaper and still have the right core, brushes, etc. When I get the much less expensive seals, seal parts for the refitting I can proceed. New ply/poxy reconfigured motor guards I upgraded are under way, looks like better turning and less drag, You didn't see the big holes I punched in the first guards, which made burbuling aft, but did help turning radius. Parts should be here around the time i'm ready to button it back up, for another six years.

Re: Coots and the Toledo Boat Show
The booth would just be for information about the Coots and the TSCA, and outreach to the public. I've helped man a booth for the Puget Sound TSCA, Coots, and I think, the PT Pocket Yachters at the Port Townsend Festival. It was fun, in small doses. <g> We'd have to arrange shifts.

We try to avoid contentious "political" subjects here on the Interweb group. I know, it's crazy how much stuff is "political" these days <sigh>. It's difficult to discuss such subjects civilly online, so please don't. As Graybeal mentioned, it's a lot easier to talk about contentious subjects in person, around the (nonexistent in these dry years) campfire. Thanks for your support for the Coots chapter of the TSCA becoming a sponsor of the Toledo Boat Show.

Re: Using OpenCPN

From John's link about tides;
It is possible to add/modify Harmonics data. First get the latest version, might be V10, and then add a line for the new location into the section of that country into the file HARMONIC.IDX Reading the HARMONIC.IDX, it is a text file of locations. One should be able to add entries. I will give it a try and see if it works or if it breaks it :-) John A.

I would also welcome the chance to be part of a closer connection between event and community and sponsorship.
And while I also see the relevance of the health of the planet to ourtdoorsmen and women... it's also true I'd rather err on the side on 'no politics' in our group. Around the campfire... that's another question <G>

TSCA and Toledo show
dan mulholland
John, I think TSCA joining to sponsor would be a good thing.
About the pulp mill- it is owned by the Koch brothers:
The Koch brothers work against limitations on greenhouse gas pollution.
The Toledo mill is the 6th largest industrial emitter of CO2 in Oregon. It emits, (2015 Oregon DEQ) 554,000 metric tons of CO2 that are classified as "biogenic", or from the decomposition of natural materials, and 335,000 metric tons of "anthropomorphic" emissions,
or from burning fossil fuels. I'm guessing it's mostly methane (natural gas), since there is a major line going through Toledo.
Compared to something more relatable, burning a gallon of gasoline creates just under 20 pounds of CO2 emissions when burned. That's about 9 kilograms. The anthropomorphic emissions are 335,000,000 kilograms per year, as a metric ton equals 1000 kilograms.
Dividing the emissions in kilograms by the CO2 emissions caused by burning a gallon of gasoline results in a "big number', the equivalent of about 37 million gallons of gasoline.
Industrial emissions are a relatively small part of Oregon's emissions; transportation fuels are the largest category.
More than steam is coming out of the stacks.
Dan
