Re: First, and possibly my last, boat

Carlton, ignore The trolls on this site! Some people just can’t resist being negative. Think all your comments are reasonable, although, I would suggest, before buying, get some actual experience on...

CBP Roam

Has any one used the CBP ROAM app in the USVI’s? Will be returning from BVI to USVI’s and it certainly seems like the way to go to get through customs.

Re: Preventer Rigging -- Lessons from the Platino Disaster

Just curious, I assume they were reefed, but how much? I wouldn’t have much sail up in 48 k.

Re: Guidance on becoming the best sailor I can be

I agree racing a small boat as a beginner at 61 may not be the best way to go assuming your goal is to basically cruise. If you could crew on a 30 footer, you’ll get better experience for what you...

Re: sailing downwind without a kite or pole?

Re: Budget Be Damned

Interesting evaluation. Thanks for sharing. Wondered if you could share your reasons for exceeding your budget. Unforeseen events, miscalculations, or other? Anything you would do differently?

Re: Bringing own provisions to USVI

Actually, believe it’s a TSA restriction. I think what you are referring to is for carry ons. You can bring almost anything food wise if you check it and a lot more than few ounces. The only reason I...

Re: Bringing own provisions to USVI

Thanks for replying, we chartered out of Nanny Key last fall and had a wonderful time. It may of been misleading of me in my wording. We were kind of blown away at the COST of things like steaks,...
