Fiji to NZ

Haha! Good point GordMay! We have a 2005 Leopard 43 owners version. Bought it in New Zealand last July. Sailed up to Minerva, Tonga, the Lau Group, then Fiji.

Re: Hardstand support to repair damaged keel.

Thank you everyone. The yard is very accommodating. R&C responded to my email and said blocking the front half of the keel was perfectly fine. Appreciate all the input!

recomendation for U.S Bank and a rant

We have had a USAA account for 25 years, and Ameriprise investment accounts as well. Has anyone had experience with either of those institutions for long-term international travel?

Re: Who has a vacuum sealer?

There are several types of foil bags called “retort” pouches. If there is a portable food saver system that is capable of sealing them, I haven’t found one. One of the reasons I bought the VP210 was...

Re: Who has a vacuum sealer?

We re-use ours several times. As was mentioned earlier, we sometimes end up with long tails. So we seal as close to the edge as possible. When we cut that seal, there is still a lot of bag left to...
