Re: round the world with long-term "charter"

You’re also missing a major point of scheduling - trying to be in the right place at the right time to pick up “passengers/crew” - whatever you want to call them - is pretty close to impossible if...

Re: Aqua Signal Waterlogged

You are 100% correct about my assumption and I sincerely apologize. We were subjected to several in the Bahamas this season so my aggravation should have been directed at them. I guess I just proved...

Re: Aqua Signal Waterlogged

Yes - but you can use another strobe for those situations. You are annoying as hell in an anchorage.

Re: Cruising Customs Paperwork

The Bahamas requires that you fill in the make and registration number of your dinghy, as well as the make and hp of your outboard engine (if you have one on it). All done when you fill out your...

Re: Newbie Here - Hello!

Two birds? Have you checked with the Caribbean islands to see if you’re allowed to bring them in? A lot of them have pretty stringent requirements for importing animals.

Re: NY to Bahamas - First Time - Offshore

Sorry, but in what world does a CS 30 do 600 nautical miles in 2-4 days? And that’s leaving from Norfolk.

Re: Starlink Internet

One drawback to Starlink is that when you leave your boat to go ashore, you have zero phone and internet service. So saying that Roam is considers for the “land” for the RVers makes sense. But since...

Re: 12 Volt portable refrigerator/freezer

Here’s another vote for the Whynter brand. Used to be available at Home Depot and Amazon, but haven’t checked lately. We have been using the 85 quart freezer for 6 years and love it. Half the price...

Re: Gray water holding tank

Not sure if you can get this product in the UK, but I highly recommend dumping about a quarter of a cup of Zaal Noflex Digestor in there - that stuff is amazing. Peg Hall recommends it for black...

Re: Chesapeake to Northeast Caribbean Rally/Flotilla

Nothing saying you can’t follow along without officially being part of the group. You would just need to make your own reservations. You can stay at the departing marina and book a spot at the...

Re: DAN Boater Membership / Insurance

Cannot recommend DAN insurance highly enough. Our first year of full-time cruising, we were in the Bahamas (Exumas) when my husband had a severe bout of colitis. The clinic in George Town was great...

Re: Abaco Bahamas first time

Weather will dictate everything! I second everyone who commented on the Whale Cut - you need two very decent days to get there and come back, so if you want to do No Name, Manjack and Green Turtle,...

Re: Cleaning a stain from Vinyl

One of my go to fixes for stains is boiling water and oxyclean. But I’ll admit that I have never tried it on vinyl so definitely do a test patch first (I also don’t have the cardboard box that it...

Re: Ensenada to San Diego - check-in procedures?

Seems to me that you would use the ROAM App, no? That is how we check back in on the East Coast.

Re: Need USA Professionnal Skipper!!!! To help a Family!

At the present time, there is no way you can enter the US by boat. You have to have a professional captain deliver the boat FROM CANADA to the US. You, on the other hand, can only get into the US...

Re: US ports open for sailors crossing from Med?

I don't believe that the US border is open to recreational boaters by sea at all. Our friends are in Canada now - right on the border of Maine, and have been denied entry via ROAM (an App which you...

Re: Current conditions in Bahamas

SORRY! Meant to say that the average curfew is from 10 pm to 5 AM. Not all islands have curfews though - mostly just the bigger ones.
