Re: West Marine Restructures Debt

I once ordered a length of line from West Marine. Evidently the first spool was 2’ short. They sent me a section 2’ less than I ordered, and an additional piece 2’ long! [emoji23]

Re: Lost at sea: It ain't over till it's over as they say

Hmmm…. I met him right after he bought the boat, which was basically a brand new boat. He told me he had NO sailing or boat experience. I offered to go out with him, he never took me up on the offer.

Re: Torqeedo 1003 falling apart?

Mine has always had a gap there. I asked Torqeedo about it when new, and they said it was normal. No movement though, and mine is 8-10 years old.

Re: COD Renewal Multiple Years

I renewed ours recently and didn’t have a choice to do anything but a 5 year renewal. I believe you will find that the Coast Guard is only doing 5 years now.
