Unfortunately they aren’t everywhere. If you see birds or floating debris worth a drive by. Some years offshore was hot other years it was all near coast. Good luck and smooth sailing.

You should be in likely albacore tuna waters. What water temps you seeing there?

Do you hoist the sails for a bit of a boost, take some load off the engine and to soften the roll?

Do those also work at anchor? I think I read somewhere that they do.

You can’t secure a 38’ tender on a 96’ anything other than a barge.

That makes sense!

If you can afford a waterproof drone then that is a great option for a boat. My first drone was a mini with all the bells and whistles. It still went for a swim when I decided to fly in wind conditions that were challenging for a small drone. Wouldn’t have been a problem on land but my boat was...

I didn’t get the galv vs ss debate My understanding of the original post was that both chains were 10 mm ss. One being long link and the other short link with the short link breaking completely and only some welds parting on the long link but the links didn’t open up. I wouldn’t buy any ss chain...

I think we all have to get used to the idea of more frequent and more severe weather events. Governments ( all governments all around the world, not pointing any fingers here) mostly think in short term cycles and are controlled by vested interests who want the status quo. Even if the whole...

Mantus anchors sells a small scuba tank just for such situations as you mention. https://www.mantusmarine.com/mantus-scuba/

I can attest to the boarding and dye tablet. Boarded in Key West last Feb, dye tablet drop in toilet. The crew on board their RIB watched for dye as the toilet was flushed.

He may have been totally exaggerating although that’s not how I read it. I do agree with you that Russia will continue to press until there is pushback.

Puh leez! Ya might have to get Maverick up there, inverted, to let them Russkies know what's what

Can you tell me the distance between the slides? thanks

We looked at 4 LRCs 2 yrs ago. The one in Hampton being the last. It was a short inspection. It was full of mould and I had to get off there. Pretty disappointed with all 4. I love the boat though. As far as options go I would prefer one with the day head and the 6-71s.

Where are you planning to do the work? Inside a shed with overhead gantry to lift and hold the "lid" after it is cut off? Outside, tarped over, with jackposts on the sole to lift the lid from inside? What will be the area of the lid and how much will that plate and stiffeners weigh? Can the...

I keep mine on kayak holders clamped to the outside of the bow rail. I can get them up and down myself when help is not available.

Dock or mooring whips would work. Store bought can be a little pricey. May be a good DIY project.

That is good to know. I am somewhat underwhelmed with my M2. I will be calling them to see what we can do about it. I hope I don’t already have the new improved version. Otherwise I think I will be looking at replacing it with the M1.

This topic recently well covered in following thread...https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/nordhavn-vs-fleming-vs-kady-krogen-48256.html?highlight=Krogen+Fleming%3F+boat%2C+Nordhavn%2C+Kady

Hi Peter. My renewal with Pacific Marine Underwriting just came up. I expected a premium increase but did not expect them to NOT cover any named storms at all. This is a change from last year where deductible for named storms was 10% of Agreed Value. Also, last year's policy made no mention...

Prop dimensions should be based on WOT, gearbox reduction and shaft size. A prop shop will be able to calculate best prop for you.

Last summer I saw a sportfisher on the ICW called "Deplorable".

YIKES! Make you shudder to think what could have happened.

I'll bet that was a talk to text glitch, LOL.
