Re: Are you responsible for removing your boat from land from a hurricane?

Re: Laura Dekker's Guppy destroyed on reef

Does not seem to hold true. From Robin Lee Graham's Dove I and II, They had to sell the cars to pay the bills at the end. Tana Aebi's Varunna, even Don McIntyre's Buttercup - which was one cool...

Re: Cruiseair AC Not Blowing

Call Dometic. They will give you the procedure to test. The motors do go bad. Before ours went completely out, you could start it by hand and it would continue spinning until it finally gave up...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

The Pinellas Sheriff frowns on the idea of anyone going out there trying to mark the wreck.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

NO. CG has nothing to do with it. They will save you, and they will maintain aids to navigation. They don't recover vessels or even tow unless it is to save the vessel from peril, but they are...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Read through their Go Fund Me, it is on there in all fairness.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

I have doubt that Go Fund Me cares. They are leaving the money in there to extend it as long as possible as donations continue to come in. All they have to do is press a button and all of that...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

I think the odds have gone from 50-1 to 100-1. Someone posted this and tells a story of a person who may have no issues walking away from a debt. The IRS and Sallie Mae will eventually get their...
