Re: Seek routing/weather advice Morgan City to Freeport

Aloha everyone,

We are not doing this loosey goosey. We are however operating...

Re: Seek routing/weather advice Morgan City to Freeport

Thanks for your response. You are right the boat goes fast. It is also a strong, rough weather boat. However speed over distance is not the primary issue. In addition to moderate speed while doing...

Seek routing/weather advice Morgan City to Freeport

My brother is having a custom aluminum, 50pax catamaran built in Louisiana. The boat is for his tour business on Maui. In late March we will be delivering the boat from Morgan City, LA to Freeport,...

Re: Lobster pots and ways to avoid them

Great tip Chotu. Obvious when you think about it. Obviously I never thought about it before. Thanks.

Re: Keel types

I have often wondered about the survivability of this most important piece of survival equipment in the event of knockdown, pitchpole, whatever. Seems to me a duplicate VHF or SSB unit in a Pelican...

Dare I drill holes in my mast?

Prepping for a return to the Bahamas after a 2.5yr hiatus. Removed the vinyl winch handle pocket at the base of our mast in order to clean the scrunge that had accumulated behind it. Which...

Re: Replace both air cons or attempt repair?

Re: Orcas appear to have sunk a sailboat- what now?

Spoiler Alert: my opinion may elevate your blood pressure.

I am a dedicated animal rights advocate. I never take anything living out of the ocean that I'm not going to eat and even then I take...

Replace both air cons or attempt repair?

We have two Dometic 16,000BTU air conditioners on our 2012 Leopard 39. One of them runs but doesn’t cool the air. It’s been problematic for a while and finally gave up even pretending to work.

Re: Overly Strict Marina Rules? Or Am I Just New to "Premier" Marinas?

There are marinas out there that will let you work on your boat as long as you respect their facilities and show consideration for your neighbors.

Re: On Not Wearing A PFD

Good point drawn from thoughtful analysis. Two take aways for me: (1) those that don't always or never wear a PFD have a data set to support their conclusion that the risk to their life is small (2)...

Re: On Not Wearing A PDF

Re: Thoughts from experienced skippers please

This is bad advice. Maritime law and land based law are not the same. You, the licensed captain, are liable for whatever happens, regardless. The Coast Guard could care less for any waiver or...

Re: Moving from Mono to Multi beginners (training?)

Hire the skipper for a week. If I'm understanding your post, you and your partner don't have a lot of sailing experience overall. There is a lot you still need to learn, especially as it relates to...

Re: Blue-Water Ready Cat vs. Charter Cat to Refit

Re: Russian ships going dark to avoid sanctions

This is such nonsense. As an extremely experienced SCUBA diver I learned to dive on the most primitive gear, a lot of it military surplus. I can dive safely without a submersible pressure gauge,...
