Mostly I just adjust brightness and contrast for my taste, and crop when necessary.

This one is much better and has much better software than the SCSI scanner I had many years ago. Yes, I expected the graininess from the Ektachrome 125 and 400 slides. However, I also have some Kodach

I use an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. it has carriers for several size negatives and slides. Does a pretty good job, though the resolution is not as good as I had hoped. Their scratch-removing

I used Cetol on the toerails of my SeaPearl. It was before they had the "clear" stuff, so the orange-ish tone was the only downside (if you don't like the color). However, it held up way better than v

On the floorboards of my Adirondack Guideboat, I decided gloss varnish would be too slippery, so I tried the satin varnish. I read all the info about degradation, so put 2 coats of gloss varnish down

A couple years ago I started using Aquapel on my cars' windshields. Same concept as Rain-X, works as well, lasts a bit longer, and easier to apply IMO.

I've sailed a C-Lark. I wouldn't even THINK of trying the R2AK in one! I wouldn't even try the PT-Victoria leg in anything predicting more than 15 kt or 4' seas...

Trailex SUT250. I have one that holds my Adirondack Guideboat and my kayak. Can be configured to hold more... Trailex trailers are aluminum, lightweight, and versatile. Only downsides are cost and ass

However, the MinnKota props are also designed to be "weedless", so they may sacrifice some efficiency to do that...

30# thrust MIGHT be enough, in calm water and wind. I'd go for 40-50# thrust, if you think you might need it to fight upwind to get home...

I used a MinnKota 42# thrust trolling motor for my 21' SeaPearl (~1500-2000# loaded). It was plenty for getting into and out of the harbor, or for a couple hours of cruising at 2 kt. A Kipawa propelle

There's a LaQuinta and one other next to the Deschutes brew pub on the south side of the river. I've stayed in both.
