Pulled a real dumb mistake, and hooked up the start battery on my N. Lights generator backwards: red to neg on battery. Attempted to start the generator for a few minutes, obviously with no luck.

Re: Electrical Surcharge in Marinas

This is a common misconception and it's false. Marinas do like a few liveaboards around. Liveaboard boats rarely sink in their slip. Liveaboards report problems like cords dangling in the water,...

Re: Annapolis to Charleston (ICW trip)

Very few people run the ICW at night, so your 24/7 watch schedule might not be needed. There are long stretches of very dark rivers and few of the channel markers are lit, and one can quickly run...
