Re: Troutbridge - hopefully not lost

It's not over for Pete but the essential thing he's still alive and still in command of his vessel. Hats off the the NZ Maritime Rescue Service who are often out there covering a vast area of the...

Re: Troutbridge - hopefully not lost

That would be an appropriate response for normal boats.

Re: Troutbridge - hopefully not lost

I am truly worried too. Pete left New Zealand the same time as we did last year bound for Savu Savu. He was sharing the role of net controller with a number of us and it was quite a shock to hear...

Re: Troutbridge - hopefully not lost

It is helpful to know that the boat is not as sound as others. But there's a time for analysis and a time for focusing on life. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Re: Troutbridge - hopefully not lost

Good questions. Sorry, I learned this as I went out the door. Peter is the captain/owner of Troutbridge. I'm not looking for emergency response at this point. Merely to push out the awareness of...

Re: Aboard Dignity, How Much Can A Family Endure?

I've made a point of only looking at trial stats. Trial findings are heavily scrutinised and rarely do people drop out. Those that do drop out are counted.

This probably not the right forum for this conversation but who cares.

Re: Costa Rica - Reduced Clearance Feesn ?

We were there for about a month. The effort of getting in an out was worth it for sure. Wonderful country. However, if one is 'passing through' the cost/benefit equation changes somewhat.

Re: Costa Rica - Reduced Clearance Fees?

You can avoid the clearance fees by passing the country by. Costa Rica is a nice country but clearing in and out is a pain in the back side. Takes about a day each way and unless your docs are...

The World ARC leaves us 'happy cruisers' far behind in it's wake. It's fast.

Group hugs.

Big difference between grounding and putting a hole in your boat - particularly keels on which a boat can stand.
