Re: Dinghy Cover 8-9ft

I'll go $25. Shipping will be about 6 bucks, they're pretty light.

I really don't wanna toss these, they're brand new but taking up space in my already small garage.

Re: Tragedy Strikes.

You guys arguing about CAP isn't contributing, please get back on track or take it elsewhere.

This isn't about you, it's about Gil, Dagny, and what we can do to help.

Re: Norfolk VA to Deale MD

Leaving it on the hard near Hampton Roads is a realistic and possible bail out option. We'll play that by ear, but I'm 99% sure we're dumb enough to beat north into anything short of a nor'easter.

Re: Norfolk VA to Deale MD

Thanks for the heads up. We plan on sailing only during the day as we're novices. But we're also stupid former navy buddies, so we may sail at night if we start feeling sporty.

Luckily I do have a full cockpit enclosure, otherwise I'd be making other warmer plans.

Re: New to sailing and new to live aboard

I pick up my new (to me) 34 ft Hunter at the end of this month and I'm living aboard.

Just dive in. Just do it. Otherwise you never will.
