Re: A mad experiment

Interesting experiment, I wish you the best!


However, I disagree with this point:


Too much time affects the texture. You can leave it in for five days and sure, it’s still medium-rare, but...

Re: Month 11 for a middle-aged couple on a modest boat.

That's what I did. About 20% the cost of glasses from the shop.

Re: Suggestions for next charter destination?

It's often kind of cold. We've always brought sleeping bags.

Re: Suggestions for next charter destination?

If you think BVI and Belize are at opposite ends of the spectrum, where would that put Lake Superior? On a completely different chart? :)

Re: Month 34 Expenses of Cruising and Living on the Boat

I can't imagine there are very many marinas where it's uphill on the way back! :)

Re: Dry Ice in Icebox

I didn't say it was a good idea, I just said that I've done it...

Re: COLREGS and vessels propelled by oars or paddles

And you can get amas and a sail and make them into a trimaran. You now have a human mechanically propelled sailboat. How's that fit into the COLREGs? :)

Re: COLREGS and vessels propelled by oars or paddles

The Mississippi and Lake Pepin are Coast Guard controlled waters so of course they'd follow the inland rules.

But I guess I would think that state lakes would fall under MN DNR rules and city...

Re: COLREGS and vessels propelled by oars or paddles

This isn’t the COLREGs, but it’s an example of what is used in a different jurisdiction.

I mostly keep my 22' boat on a small lake controlled by the City of Minneapolis. No gas motors are allowed,...

Re: Dry Ice in Icebox

Dry ice is great. You don't have to be quite and cautious with it as some people are suggesting. Any thin glove or washcloth is fine for handling. Bare hands are fine too as long as they're dry and...

Re: LPG outboard on small 30 ft sailboat

I chartered a boat once that came with a dinghy with a 2.5 Lehr propane outboard. I thought it was great. It started on the first or second pull and ran clean without any odor. I can't speak to...

Re: Options to minimize heeling?
