Re: FP Helia Help, please.

Re: FP Helia Help, please.

Some progress!
I popped the top off of the sump and wiped off the float switch. It’s not one of the floaty-type; its the solid state type with the two contacts. When I cleaned off the float switch,...

Re: WifFi Signal

We had the same situation as you, great service up on deck but not down in the cabin, and we tried several approaches. In the end, we settled on a cheap wifi range extender from Best Buy for service...

Re: Extra Cruising Cost for a "Big" Boat

Yep. Sails and rigging vs diesel fuel costs. You're going to pay one way or the other. Comes down to a choice between quiet travel and heeling over or roomy comfort and making so much ice that we...

Re: Extra Cruising Cost for a "Big" Boat

Re: Extra Cruising Cost for a "Big" Boat

Truth. Wanderlust ain't no lightweight. :wink:

Re: Cruising - Bahamas, the North or South - Summer of 2021

Hey Mark,

Palmetto, FL here.

June and part of July in the Bahamas will be toasty and always holds the potential for an early-season hurricane. April through June might be nicer, if you can...

Re: electronics compatibility question

You don't need to be all one brand in order to get everything talking. But sometimes it takes a little fiddling. I have a Simrad autopilot and a Garmin chartplotter and they work quite well...

Re: air conditioner discharge splash

A guy in our marina squeezed a six inch-long section of plastic hose in his a/c output so he could direct the outflow. Works great for him. Might work for you, too.

Re: Decadence

Yeah, ice. We run our icemaker two to three times per week (and never get sick). Also, an air-conditioned office with full-tilt wifi. Very grateful for what we have.
