Re: Winter over in the Bahamas?

They might, but when you check in, they'll spend more time getting an inventory of your firearms and ammunition (they assume Americans have some). Check in at Spanish Cay and it's a bit more...

Re: I Broke the Law Today!

So somebody explain to me why it's bad to give a thirsty potato a drink once in a while.

Then somebody explain to me why a creature that lives in salt water, must drink fresh water, is tasty and...

Re: How cool is this? Sailboat drones....

The irony of our navy going back (even in a limited sense) to sail driven vessels makes me want to giggle.

Re: How cool is this? Sailboat drones....

Damned skippy! I'm driving a Hatteras right now. :-D

I just love the idea of a big cat swanning into a crowded anchorage, backing the sail to stop, coming to anchor etc, in total silence except...

Re: Beating Home Alone and oh so Slow

When motoring I almost always leave at least a partial main set. It stabilizes the boat so nicely and lets you use less fuel. The only time I'd strike it is if I was going to just bash into the...

Re: Beating Home Alone and oh so Slow

A gent from down under once told me that a sailing voyage description should sound like this: We went, it was nice. We had a good time.

In other words, wait for the weather to be right or go...

Re: Sailboat for a few years in the Caribbean for two

I don't know. I think most any boat has a chick magnet hidden away somewhere. A boat has been involved in almost all of my successful......efforts in that arena. :cool:

Re: Sailboat for a few years in the Caribbean for two

I owned a Hunter Legend 37. It was a great bay toy and weekender. Fast, roomy, easy to handle and lots of luxury stuff. It would have been fine doing coastal cruising with a good weather eye, and...

Re: Just How Big is Too Big?

Seems to me there's no hard limit as long as everything works. It's when stuff starts breaking down that it gets ugly and beyond a certain point it's gonna be tough as hell to get anything done in...

Re: Any Young Cruisers Setting Out Soon ?

Yep. It's a trade-off like any other. Go now, go small, go with what you have on one hand, versus go later, and later, and later, and possibly not at all, but if you ever finally do it, maybe in a...

Re: Any Young Cruisers Setting Out Soon ?

I took off for a year at 40, and figured out I was in the wrong kind of boat for my style of cruising. Wish I'd taken off earlier because I could have done my course correction earlier.

Go now. ...

Re: Mass Robbery in St. Lucia

Oh it's clear. Living on a remote island has costs as well as benefits. The choices of who to trade with are smaller and you might find yourself in a spot where the best deal available is to kowtow...

Re: Mass Robbery in St. Lucia

Just gotta ask yourself one question though. If the islands would be better off without the cruise ships coming in, why would they jump through their arses to make it happen and why do they keep...

Re: How to not look like a Gringo.

I think the consensus is that you shouldn't try not to look like an American, just to never be the "Ugly American".

That means dress modestly in decent plain clothes.

Re: Davit and dinghy selection

If you're doing davits, you want a Rigid Inflatable. AB makes a really light weight series of hypalon tubed, aluminum hulled RIBs

The RIB is the work horse of the mid sized sailboat cruising...

Re: Looking for Gulfstream Crossing Buddy - 5/14/13

In a 29, I'd always be prepared for weather on the stream to toss my plans in the circular file. Schedules kill more boaters than anything except peeing over the transom while drunk.

Galvanic Isolator buzzing frequently but intermittently?

When connected to shore power (50 125/250) I get an intermittent loud buzzing from my galvanic isolator. Still buzzes as I turn off breakers, all of em. I think I'm picking up current on the ground...

Re: Sailboat Seized with Guns in Tulum, Mexico

What's wrong with an AK? Seems like that'd be a natural choice for repelling boarders. You can make a lot of holes with one pretty fast, and it's quicker to reload than a shotgun.

It's not like...
