Re: Delmarva peninsula circumnavigation

I would sail south down the Bay, even on a north eastern wind, and then wait in Cape Charles until I had a southern wind to go off shore sailing north along the coast, with the wind from the south...

Re: Thinking about buying a Shannon 43 Fixer Upper

The Shannon 43 is a great boat. You can get a wealth of knowledge from Bill at the Shannon boat builders located in Bristol. He has a really nice 43 cutter about 15 years old for sale now and...

I don't like seafood one finds in mass retailers either, but I love most seafood I catch myself. It is like picking a fresh tomato out of the backyard garden or buying a tomato from the store in...

From the description of your location, it sounds like a proper anchor for you is going to be so buried by spring you will need a tug boat to retrieve it. Nothing makes the nerves go crazy like a week...

Re: Marina on east coast

Deltaville, VA might fit your needs. There is a West Marine store there, several boat yards and several yachty marinas too. Sailmaker and canvas shop there also.

Re: You'll Think I'm Crazy

Sounds like you need to go sailing now, living on a boat shouldn't be all about working on her. Go sail to new anchorages and then do some more work. Don't worry about what you don't know, the boat...

Re: Help Buying a 34'-35' sailboat to live in longterm

Not many 34' boats have 6'4" headroom. I once bought a Morgan 34 because it was the smallest boat I could find which had 6'4" headroom. They stopped making them in 1969 I think. The 1970 35' Morgan...

Re: What happens to all the wannabees?

William,

There is an old joke in the sailing community. "There are two kinds of sailors, those who have run aground and lairs."

Re: Propane Outboards

From all I have seen and read, it seems like a propane powered outboard is a great idea inside the US. Outside the US, there seems to be some serious problems with obtaining fuel, so maybe it might...

Re: Advice

The best way to learn to sail is to learn to sail a small boat, like 15ft. If you can sail a 15ft sloop in any weather, then you can learn to sail a 45ft boat very quickly.

Re: I've had enough!

I would go with the ketch. Wind is free and not taxed. A trawler would consume a lot of fuel and that fuel is heavily taxed.

Re: New to Live aboard life. Looking into it.

Matt,

My advice is to not go into debt, buy a boat for cash, even if you only have $2500. You can live aboard many 22ft pocket cruisers. Bank all the money you can each payday, and enjoy each day...

Re: Following Seas Dangers?

I enjoy a relaxed helm. If the helm is not relaxed, then I reef. I would rather go two knots less than haul speed with sails reefed than two knots over haul speed and no reef. It is like driving 60...
