Re: Blue Sky Solar IPN ProRemote Display / Processor

correct me if Im wrong, but that's not a MPPT charge controller, it's the monitor for the battery system, right?

Re: What Kind of Yanmar Engine Is this ?

I'd suggest you swap it out for a two cylinder engine, you'll want the power and thank me for the suggestion in the long run. It'll ultimately be less work than fixing the one you've got I suspect -...

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

A good question - how about we do it here? What determines a junky boat? What determines a derelict boat? What are reasonable limits? Who inspects?
Well folks? This is what we're here for...

Re: Tobermory to Killarney Anchorages

ADMPTR, for the route you want to do, Club is the most convenient. And your six foot draft will get in easily, there's up to 15 feet inside. (Another CS36 just did the ICW with six feet, and depths...

Re: Living Aboard in the Winter

note to 'self' - buy bilge pump, float and install for days over 80:)

Strato - I used a Mr. Buddy briefly and I concur. However, there are portable 'ice hut' units with an oxygen depletion sensor,...

Re: North Channel Anchoring

Absolutely Dave, but the OP's boat is small. I'd hate to send him out of the islands to Gore Bay unless he needs provisions, etc.
If you do get to Gore Bay and need advice, talk to Ken, at Canadian...

Re: Tobermory to Killarney anchorages

ADMPRTR - that's an area I've sailed through many times and with your CS 36 (love the boat, looked for but couldn't find one years ago), you'll easily make Tobermory to Killarney in one jump. The...

Re: North Channel Anchoring

Hi - beautiful area, definitely one of the best in the North Channel, and very protected in the Whalesback. Bear Drop Harbour, opposite John Island, is a beautiful harbour, depths at around 10 - 12...

Re: North Channel Anchoring

btw, there is a group of trailer sailors who cruise the North Channel every season. I don't have contact information for them, but a google search will likely turn up information on them.
They...

Re: North Channel Anchoring

Canadian regulations are quite strict in regards to holding tanks and the use thereof. And if you're caught breaking them, the penalties are quite severe.
Rest assured, if you pump overboard or...

Re: How to Get a Sailing Yacht to the East coast

Re: Living Aboard in the Winter

Rather than an expensive heater, go to Northern Freight, and look up ice hut heaters. For $120 I bought a propane heater that works from a 20# tank. Has an oxygen sensor to protect you, but if I were...

Re: The Marine iPad . . .

Re: The Marine iPad . . .

my .02 cents worth - I've seen on many sites information that, when I got to the area in question, was totally wrong. Why? Because that information came from an inexperienced recreational boater,...

Re: North channel anchoring

In the North Channel, and the Cruising Editor for Waterway Guide for that area, and was a charter captain up there for years. There are hundreds of protected anchorages, esp for a small boat such as...

Re: Canadian-Built Bluewater Boats ? Headroom ?

Don't know that particular boat, but do know Jack Pady and you can trust him to be honest. Good man in the business.

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

My thinking has been, for a long time, to use a rule that works well on land. If your neighbour's house is a dump, you complain, the city looks it over and, if justified, issues an order to clean it...

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

There's always going to be a few of these - so I think we have to look to the greater good. Sure, we don't want to encourage people to be bums, but some will be, and their leavings are what we are...

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

That's essentially mooring fields on the water, not the best solution and not one at all, cf St. Augustine, for the people we're discussing here, i.e. the mentally ill and substance abusers. And,...

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

Missed commenting on that point - rather than 'approve' a boat, their responsibility is to identify marginal or problem boats. In other words, just because they don't identify a boat as a problem...

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

I see your point, but we aren't going to change what's happening that way. And there don't seem to be enough public facilities to deal with all of these people. Plus, as noted, some are mentally ill,...

Re: Anchoring and Cruisers' Responsibilities

I've seen that in smaller anchorages, but not in larger ones actually. Perhaps the west coast situation is different.
Charleston, Beaufort SC and NC, Hampton, Norfolk, Annapolis, etc., none of these...
