Re: What a way to wake up. 150m dredger right beside us.

Just move!!

They’ve got a job to get done for the good of the port and the ships that use it.

Don’t make their work any more difficult just because you’re anchored in a designated anchorage....

Re: Dismasted at sea in the Bahamas, now what

Don’t accept that from the insurance company!

They took your premiums, they can pay for a new mast.

Re: Cutting acrylic for portlights

LEXAN will bend and will NEVER crack. I have not had any issues with it yellowing, scratching or crazing- despite what all the experts here say.

Re: Cutting acrylic for portlights

Use LEXAN only

Cut it out with a jigsaw by tracing the old ones.

Install with 3M 5200

It’ll last 10-15 years

The controls on a J-Boat I owned were located down around my ankle.

When docking, I’d go barefoot and clamp my toes around the end of the throttle/shift lever. It was quite effective.

Re: Did I have to give way? Plus short-long blast.

I CAN NOT believe what I just read!!!

I read the OP and I’m ASTOUNDED that someone who owns a 40’ boat, doesn’t know to keep out of the way of a cruise ship.

UNBELIEVABLE !!!
