Don't know if they really qualify as a flying bridge.
Have never run from up there.

Like the looks of your boat, Ted. ... I've only "ridden" on top of my pilothouse while in the berth. Having spent nearly two decades in an open sailboat's cockpit, feel I deserve the protection/luxury of a pilothouse.
Hi Mark,
I see a lot to like about your boat too.
Same "ride", same idea.
Did my cockpit time trolling for salmon, commercially, none
on sailboats.
My weather is probably more likely to inspire "indoors" operation than
yours.
All good, enjoy.

Not too sure, Ted. Much (50%?) of my time, I've only one pilothouse door open or closed.

for a further 2-3 months of winter, yes, and expect a warm spring.
today there would be nice to go to North Baltic Sea right now medium-wave exceeds 8m 26 feet, and the individual 14m over 47 feet.
we have only to coastal waters, so the wave of mid-term can not grow long. Finland meterelogi wave of light hit the office runs out of scale 8m. Data enters the sea buoy
stanchion is displayed dimly meter scale

Ted: Here is your Okisollo when there was a fly bridge. Looks good, don't know why it was removed.
That picture does'nt look as stubby as the one I saw previously.
I think it was taken off to make the deck-house look more like it did when
she was working as a tug towing log booms.It would also reduce windage
and top weight, although she carries a lot of draft and displacement.
I found her to be quite comfortable and not at all scary in 4 to 5 ft
confused, breaking, following seas (did switch off autopilot). Think
Kelsey Bay area with 25 to 30 knot Westerly against the tide if you're
familiar with that area.

You could move here and I'll subcontract part of my 550 house letter carrier route where you can appreciate briskly invigorating -17C mornings. Here's me when I came home for lunch

Takes a special kind of crazy for that kind of cold weather, IMO. Murray, you are a beast!
However, it also takes a special person who can stand 118F. I'm from south Texas and I couldn't take that.

My wife wouldn't argue with you on that point, especially since I actually get energized by it.

Hi, forward to ask whether you have out there familiar with the sauna? room which is warmed to 75-110C °, and then swim to roll on ice or snow.
cold and hot variation may really feel that to live in, the blood flows in the veins soar and endorphin makes one feel really good.
so in Finland, (not all) but the sauna is almost in every home.

Don't listen to Keith. It is all lies! The PNW and BC only have two nice days in the summer and they are separated by weeks of cold drizzle. Winters are wet, dark, windy, and while not extremely cold, they are extremely unpleasant. Green mold and moss grow faster on the top sides than the grass and barnacles grow on the bottom.
This is the worst boating weather in North America unless you really are a sick bastard that likes cold water, cold wind, and dark skies most of the year and then simply cold water, cold wind, and long gloomy cloudy days the rest of the time.
Save yourselves and avoid boating up here.

Tough bug!-17C yesterday morning and +2 this afternoon...even saw a small bug flying around today
Your near full face covering, polar explorer style, is extreme but obviously necessary.
34C in our part of Sydney at 2pm, will likely peak higher, but not the 41C several days back. A sea breeze keeps temps down in the east, compared to the western suburbs the breeze does not penetrate can get very hot.
forum staff:
Not that it really makes any difference to me, but I think
your post counter is afflicted with a stutter.
In this thread I have posts #63, 65, 67 and 71.
They are all counted as personal post #502
Good forum, I obviously enjoy it, just don't post often.

Ted, Past posts do not show your number of posts at the time they were posted, all your posts show your present total posts.
I think I understand what it should be, but.....
take another look at those posts (page #4 ?), all 4 of them are listed
as being post #502.
I think this "stutter" has happened before, but didn't search it out.
This time the posts were reasonably close and could all be seen.
As I said, doesn't really matter to me, but the count might to someone
else if it happened to them.
all respect

It's not a stutter. It's not a mistake. Post count is always current. It changes on all your posts with every post you make because it's not part of the post, it's part of your profile. All elements of your profile update with any changes on every post.
48c is what my veterinarian surgeon wife calls 'puppy & kitten drowning weather'. Terminally unacceptable.Hit a record today 48c @5pm
