Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

How much solar charging do you get when sailing at night. My wind generator produces enough to run all the electronics including the radar and autopilot. I have both as practical, complimentary...

Re: Best heater
If you are staying in DC, I would invest in either an Espar or similar diesel heater. It uses the same fuel as your boat so you don't need a secondary storage facility. If you are passing through,...

Re: rough idle on Caterpillar 3208 Suggestions?
I would suspect that one of the injector nozzles is clogged or leaking causing the roughness at idle. It may provide sufficient fuel at higher rpms but not enough at idle.

Re: Beneteau 393 vs Island Packet 35
The real truth of the matter is that more than 90% of your time aboard is at anchor. Which boat is the most comfortable to live on. Do you plan to have company? If so, it is nice to have separate...

Re: Harbor or harbour fees
Your question is rather broad and so is the answer. It depends on the harbor and the marina. Check with the harbor master in whatever port you enter as to the procedure or with the specific marina.

Re: Salinas, Puerto Rico .. clearing in?
Since you will be sailing past Ponce, why not stop there and check in? It is an easy port to enter and leave and not significantly out of the way (perhaps six miles in and out).
