Re: StarLink Maritime Way Over Price

So, I’m no rocket scientist, but I do have Starlink at home.

If I understand correctly, all land based service (including the 12 miles offshore and RV crowd) must go through a Starlink ground...

Re: Running backstays

As a Tayana 48 owner who has been struck by lightening, we have had no additional problems after we replaced all the electronics.

If I were you I’d be more concerned about the SS water tanks. ...

Re: An Okie going to the sea.....

Someone once told me that “in theory” a destroyer could steam up the Mississippi, hang a left at the Arkansas and be able to shell Tulsa. Any truth to that?

BTW, fellow Okie here underway on...

Re: Autopilot shelf

This. My recommendation would be to take your existing design to a metal fabricator and have them weld one using SS. You’re in Mexico. Work is cheap and there are SS welders servicing every marina.

Re: Beneteau Excess Catamarans Launched

Re: SCUBA air fills

This.

We carry two tanks and figured that wherever there is good diving there would be a dive shop to get refills. We were wrong.

Our two biggest regrets now are not bringing bicycles and...

Re: Instructions for crew - Crewing for Dummies

That Boye looks nice but pretty pricey.

I love my Myerchin. I would rate it as one of my top 5 “must haves/most used” onboard.
