Re: Catalina 470

Ahh, yes, these are crazy times for sure! It's difficult to know just what to do. We really didn't want to be stuck in El Salvador. It seems like many governments are unsure of what policies to...

Re: Catalina 470

I would really consider Mexico. We're in Chiapas right now and I don't see them closing the border to cruisers. It's really not that far. Just stay about 15 - 20nm out to avoid the long line...

Re: Catalina 470

Man, good luck. We just arrived in Chiapas (Mexico) from El Salvador. Hope you make it before Mexico decides to close.

EDIT: Just saw you're heading out into the Pacific. That could be another...

Re: Fresh water to blue water cost estimate

Why would you buy a Hunter to cross oceans? That's like buying a Mazda Miata to haul loads of dirt. And saying that you can "cross oceans on anything" is just dumb. You can do it on a surfboard,...

Re: Planning cruising and savings

My situation is probably a bit unique. I will be turning 44 this Summer just before we leave. I will have a nice pension which will start at 53, so I'll have to make my funds last as close to 9...

Re: Planning cruising and savings

I think a lot of it has to do with how badly you want it. I'd rather live to a meager budget than wait and gamble with health. Of course you need some money for expenses, food, etc., but figuring...

OpenCPN Not Finding Toughbook's GPS

I have OpenCPN installed on my Toughbook CF-30. The GPS is working on COMM3, but I'm not able to get OpenCPN to find it. I have the baud rate set at 4800, which I think should be correct. I was...

Re: HI->Tahiti Dingbats found after 5 months

The first clue of their cluelessness was when they said they encountered a force 11 storm on their *FIRST DAY OUT*. I'm guessing forecasts are over-rated?
