Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

I wondered about this as well, Mark.

I was thinking specifically about Abbey Sunderland and her RTW quest a few years ago. If memory serves, she had sailed some distance from Marina del Rey...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Hawai'i might be a better choice, minaret, but the truth is that from where they'd gotten to, there are almost NO good options, and it is for that reason that Eric could well decide to abandon Rebel...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

I'm down with your suggestion, sww914, but my fear is that Eric is too responsible to just abandon Rebel Heart to the wind and waves. He will more than likely open the seacocks after they've removed...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

I hope that Sariah is wrong and that Eric doesn't choose to abandon Rebel Heart, probably scuttling her to remove a hazard to navigation because he's aware of his responsibility. There's very little...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

In early January, Charlotte and her sister Sariah outed their father on Charlotte's blog for molesting them when they were adolescents. They have many siblings, and one sister and one brother...

Re: Fair Value Price

A seller has no use for a survey, certainly not post-sale. Surveys are bought and paid for by buyers, hoping to find out if it actually makes sense to go through with the deal. My rule of thumb is...

Re: what a mess: zenamaran

Today's 'Lectronic Latitude carries an interesting article on the loss of Zen II with, perhaps, a little more compassion than that shown in this thread by some. Here's a bit of it:

I wouldn't volunteer the information he's requesting until he had provided a full explanation of why he wants the info. You paid for the survey - it's your property. If your broker has a copy and...

Re: Prevent and alleviate heat stroke in dogs naturally

Timely advice, lucseawalker . . . thanks for posting.

One of the dumbest things people do to "help" their dog cope with the higher summer temperatures is shave them down. This is absolutely the...

Re: The Flying Hawaiian

The July Latitude 38 is now on the street. If you can get your hands on a copy and turn to page 81, you'll find a nice story about the Flyin' Hawaiian. Though the story is somewhat dated, now,...

Re: propane tanks replace or refill?

I don't know either, Mark. I believe that it was just that one manufacturer who got on the watchdogs' sh*t list by cutting corners in their manufacturing process.

I don't think you'll find that...

I'd suggest you ask other cruisers who are there, but many of them choose to head up to the Gulf of California for the hottest summer months. One who hasn't done that, though, is CF member zeehag....

Re: Where Does Ballast Differentiate From Displacement?

That's just a typo, roverhi. KD knows that the ballast on her E35 Mk II is 5000 pounds. https://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=1708

Well, the hull had better weigh quite a bit less than...
