Re: Pullman Berth w/head in bow

One other advantage is that I f the hatch is over the head, it’s possible to leave it open during rain. A great advantage n a hot area where it is uncomfortable to completely close up the boat. I’ve...

Re: Using Holding tank as a water Tank?

I don't know if this is a plausible solution given the plumbing system on your boat, but could you isolate the plumbing from the tank so it only supplies a shower and/or boat washdown system and also...

Re: Sell the Wife: Off Grid/Beautiful Nature in a 7-day Starter Charter?

I mistook your title as actually selling your wife! Happy that got straightened out! I'd recommend St. John in the US Virgins as a possibility for quiet anchorages and easy sailing. You can also...

Re: California to kill rats on Farallon Islands

I have what I intend to be an innocent question stimulated by this discussion. Why are we (humans) not part of the natural world? Admittedly, our "constructions" are more elaborate than those of...

Re: Virgin Garda Yacht Harbor / Spanish Towm

It's been a good while but once when we visited the baths (and it's not to be missed in my opinion) our dinghy dropped people near the beach and one person took it back out and tied up and swam in. ...

Re: Ooops..nuclear sub hits underwater object

Maybe a bit paranoid, but if US subs follow known routes in that area (to avoid unexpected obstacles, it's possible that an adversary might drop some obstacles in the way in the hope of a collision...

Re: FJ sailboat - sail to Catalina island?

One issue I've noticed with the McGregors at the marina I've sailed out of (but admittedly, not experienced for myself) is that the cabin is pushed all the way out to the gunnels. I think that would...

Re: Do you feel guilty?

I'd take another long lascivious look, buy the first boat a string of pearls or something equivalent, apologize profusely and promise never to do it again and you'll probably be ok.

Smile Re: Leaving boat plugged in and power on when leaving boat

Re: Difference between boats and ships

With regard to subs being called "boats" deriving from "U boats" , one has to ask why U boats weren't originally called "U ships"? Perhaps it's turtles all the way down.

Re: Disembarkment syndrome, any thoughts?
