Re: Best fuel stop between Anquilla to Martinique

I agree with boatman that the fuel dock on the French side is where to fuel up. Euro 1to 1 with dollars there and no issues with fuel quality. No matter which side you choose, SXM is where to fuel up...

Re: Puerto Rico hurricane season haul out/live aboard

I'd suggest you check out Nanny Cay on Tortola, or the yard in Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda. Both allow liveaboards although VG has holes dug out where the boats are strapped down securely.

Re: Puerto Rico hurricane season haul out/live aboard

Re: What is the Name of the Tool to Remove this Nut?

Get an impact socket sized so you can grind part of the sides away so it fits over the nut and grabs the sides of it. Attach impact driver and remove the nut.

I also keep my prop bare unless she's going to be sitting and then I coat the prop in grease. No. Your post does not make sense. You are comparing fruit to chemicals. Last, I learned of the marks a...

Re: Permanent Marking Pen to keep prop clean

He specifically said marks a lot black, but glad you had good luck with the red. Maybe use each color on a different blade. Wouldn't that look weird going around underwater.. haha.

Re: Permanent Marking Pen to keep prop clean

Re: Caribbean Airfares - Best Routes for Sailors
