Re: Favorite Dinghy Accessories

We laminate the registration with one of those home laminators to make it waterproof, then store it in a pocket of the under seat storage bag.

Re: Cruising Guide Recommendation - Florida to Maine Outside

Thanks for these tips. Air draft is is 73 ft 1 in, Draft is 7 ft 0 in. Rather limiting for most of the inlets in Florida and Georgia it seems.

Re: Cruising Guide Recommendation - Florida to Maine Outside

Thank you. That makes sense, but everything we’ve found is about the ICW, which our air draft prohibits. We need to sail outside, but want to know all the places to tuck in for breaks and/or weather....

Re: Transfer Starlink Dishy

Thanks. I read that bit. It covers one owner getting rid of a dish and a new owner signing up for a new service. Again, my question is whether, as new owner, I can transfer an existing service to the...

Re: Transfer Starlink Dishy

That's my understanding too... that the dish is tightly associated with the account and it's not just a swap. Seems like the best option is to swap dishes. I was hoping to avoid it because the new...

Re: Transfer Starlink Dishy

Thank you. It’s clear how to create a new account on a dish somebody transferred. In this case, we already have an account associated with our own dish. Can we disassociate our account from our...

Re: Diesel in Fresh Water Tank - The Cardinal Sin

Thanks. Plastic unfortunately. I've heard about natural solutions by which microorganisms are introduced into the tank to "eat" the residual diesel. Not sure it's something you can find off the shelf.
