Re: Composting Toilets - Tell All

Yes, we are definitely happy with our dry head, but I like people who are trying new options to the same old wet system. Just looking at the marine head from different angles is good.

Re: Pacific Seacraft 34 Rain Dog is For Sale!

Re: At anchor

Yes, I'd be really curious to hear. I'm just starting to research stability. There is a street smart sense of what is sea kindly but the actual logistics of why has been fascinating me lately.

Re: At anchor

I've been studying this ever since we went cruising :-). Location is a big deal, even just a few hundred feet can mean a nice comfy spot while others further out are rolling.

Sailed a 27 to Mexico and back. They are fantastic sailors, once you figure out how they like to sail. Love the quality, love the boats.

Re: Any Photographers with DSLR's Around ?

Yes! He, or rather they, are my one of my favorite sea critter(s). Once, out in the Atlantic , I saw a large adult beat to weather in a rather rowdy sea. So beautiful.
Glad you like liked my pics.
