Re: Ideal Windlass Model CHWSO

VERY salty indeed! My favorite comment that someone made on mine: "That's not just equipment, that's infrastructure!"

IDEAL does full rebuilds, even replaces the enclosure with a more modern...

Sitting up watch at night. I have a Newporter, with the huge Cleopatra lounge in the cockpit - so when it's cold, I'll be propped up against the taffrail, bundled up, scanning the horizon...

I suspect this was a misunderstanding somewhere along the way.

Marinas all over the state and indeed the country are being forced to be ADA compliant. It seems to be restricted to when they do a...

I think condemning skipper or vessel preparation is ridiculous. Hundreds of miles offshore, no power, taking on water: you call for assistance. Having the equipment to summon rescue was preparation....

I love having the iPad available as an auxiliary chart plotter. It's easy to see, handy to have nearby, and is great for monitoring your progress. I use iNavX and MotionX GPS HD for US Coastal...

Re: Dock Walking

I just want to say that I *love* dock walking - and I've always called it that, too. Not sure where I got it from. Most of the marinas in Marina Del Rey have their docks behind gates, so aside from...
