Re: Anti-fouling for prop and bow thruster

Re: What Did You Think Was Going To Happen?

We were anchored in Hyannis harbor last summer. I was woken by the sound of a freight train going by, right over my head. We were in the middle of a squall that was recorded with gusts to 62 knots. I...

Re: Solar Panels and Seagulls

Re: How do people connect the anchor line to the bow?

I'm a light sleeper, so the rode jumping over the bow roller drives me crazy. It takes a little planning, but I attach the anchor directly to a bow cleat, no roller involved. So it goes from the...

Re: methylene chloride to remove interior paint from hull

As a few have mentioned it's a matter of rate. Put it on and scrape it off when you see it reacting, bubbling the surface. Repeat as needed, without letting it linger more than necessary. It's a real...

Re: Suggestions for an effective bird repeller

The Gull Sweep is very effective, and with the daily wind on Buzzards Bay the gulls would need to duck at about 120 beats per minute. Remember they are bird brains, and haven't figured it out for...
