Re: If you could establish residency anywhere....

I disagree. My experience is it takes no time at all to develop a satisfactory social circle in a new place.

Re: If you could establish residency anywhere....

Consider also to not establish residency and to not have a US passport. The US is the only major country to get its hook into you for tax based on citizenship, but just about all others focus on...

Re: Leaking Lewmar "Ocean" Hatch

Dockhead, I’ve struggled with hatch leaks too. In my case a mixture of cracked seals and leaks through the acrylic and leaks through the lid to frame seals. I tried to replace the seals, but it is...

Re: Starlink

I got mine in Guadeloupe on a shore based subscription. I changed it to a continental subscription. They are charging me €60 per month. No at sea use though, which would be much more cost. You can...

Re: Deck color

I am soon to rip up my old teak deck. I have made the difficult decision to paint the deck. I will pick a pure white for heat reflection and get darker sunglasses to suit. Awlgrip G8001 from memory,...

Re: Dinghy garages. Pros/cons

I want a fast and powerful dinghy, with range at speed so 3.6m upwards. 30hp min. Electric is not an option, though the dinghy choice is not something I expect difficulty with. There are a few...

Re: Dinghy garages. Pros/cons

Yes, you are right. Can’t be worse than davits. Actually I’d probably use the foredeck. The trouble is that screws up the self tacking jib and visibility forwards, but with a small pole to act as a...

Dinghy garages. Pros/cons

I’m looking at a replacement boat. Many candidates have dingy garages for decent sized dinghies, say 3.6m. I’ve no experience of using one. I imagine it could be a handful or downright unusable in...

No. It’s a dangerous job, not to be delegated. IMHO.

Re: Reasonably safe Crypto funds when traveling.

Sure, but what makes you think crypto and Bitcoin is the answer?

I don’t think it is. Hard assets are the answer and if you can find some that yield an income as well as protecting your wealth...

Re: Mast Climbing -- Best Practice

I go up on the spinnaker halyard. A figure of 8 attached by a carabiner to the bosun’s chair for comfort and to a climbing harness as a back up for the bosun’s chair. I run two dynamic climbing ropes...

Re: Basse Terre - local knowledge appreciated

I’m there now in rolly deep water, well away from the chaos that is Deshaies.. Customs is closed until Thursday. A container office by the fish dock. I can’t say I’m worried.

Re: Basse Terre - local knowledge appreciated

Thanks. I just arrived to clear in. If it’s not possible, I’m moving on to Pointe a Pitre to get my Starlink. Woohoo!, It’ll be OK there, a really big marina. I doubt the officials will be upset at a...

Re: Is 6hp outboard enough power?

With a 3.6m dinghy I have a 30 hp engine Fromm Suzuki. It’s just enough.

Re: Basse Terre - local knowledge appreciated

I’ve been into Basse Terre, a bit of a tumbleweed marina.

A few years ago when Pelican was closed due to the owner’s holidays I managed to check out at the police station. Maybe that’s an option?

Re: SC1 generic energy recovery watermaker preservative

Well spotted. But as a non-chemist I'm not confident that's all there is to it? What are the remaining 65% of contents and is it the case that only the potentially harmful contents have to be listed,...
