    Traveling West Side of Lake Michigan - seeking advice

    Update and thanks. Completed the 500 mile trip w/o incident. Great advise on the winds - if they are coming from the south (blowing “up lake” from south to north) there will be stacked swells 4 - 5ft and if wind is over 10 knots, white caps on the swells. Good idea to hold up for a day or two...

    Nordhavn vs Fleming vs Kady Krogen

    … Just going on what the guys at Burr told me when I was shopping and seeing the many 55’s in their trust… we are looking to get “comfy” with the Bahamas first (so current boat will do) … Fleming may be on the horizon and a 55 won’t get us to the BVIs as well as a 58 (yes that whole trip could...

    Nordhavn vs Fleming vs Kady Krogen

    Been on both. For me, Fleming. 1) Flemng 58 is a a world cruiser, the N59 is a costal cruiser 2) Interior pilothouse on the Fleming 58 is a nice place to work, the N59’s interior station is just that - a seat in the saloon to drive from 3) The lines of the Fleming are more classic (of...

    Adding chocks for tender to sun deck top

    Phil Fill - good idea on the surveyor method, and the stud finders. Non invasive. Old Stone - the top is about 3.5 to 4 inches thick. 5200 is great stuff, but bolts and 5200 would be less worrisome in a seaway. Definitely plan to goop up any holes liberally. Would like to find the ribs so...
