Re: Tropical Storm Sally

Bayou Chico. Skanska keeps a large compound there. That is where they have moved them in the past when storms are threatening.

Re: Tropical Storm Sally

It seems most people in Pensacola took no notice either. A few hours before the storm hit we checked several marinas that have no protection and they were pretty much full. The construction company...

Re: Bread Making on board

The no-knead breads are excellent but have a bit of a learning curve. For sure worth taking the time to master.

For kneaded bread, like Zanshin I knead in the same bowl I mix and proof in. I like...

Re: best cruising grounds for vegans?

I would think the opposite is true. People in poverty seem to eat mostly veggies and grains.

Re: Economy fuel polishing

That is crazy. I just bought 2 service kits for my Racor 500s. The new ones are cheaper than the service kits.

Re: How much to pay for someone else's improvements?

I don't think that is quite right. Money dumped into a boat can increase its value. The question is just by how much. If you look at a 1988 xyz 36, some will be listed at $80k and some at $120k....

Re: Brazos River gates

Not sure I get the question, but normally they are open and you just drive through. They are only closed when there is a flood.

Re: Kedge: Danforth HT vs. Fortress

Thanks for all the input. FWIW, I will never stow this anchor. I will keep it rigged as a stern anchor. So stowability is not a factor for me. Just price and strength. Sounds like most people feel...

Kedge: Danforth HT vs. Fortress

Curious what people think about a Danforth HT compared to a Fortress for a kedge anchor?

The weight advantage of the Fortress seems compelling if you have to dinghy it out. I wonder if the HT is...

Re: Worlds best city to start sailing and purchase blue water boat?

There are a bunch of marinas in Malaysia right across the border from Singapore that might be worth a look. Great schools, great location for excursions, worlds best airport.

Re: Best quick connection, nylon to chain

I would use a screw-gate carabiner. Just make sure it is stronger than the chain. It would probably be best to have a shackle on the chain already and use the carabiner to attach the thimble to the...
