Surf Sail is spot on. Whether or not there is a mandated inspection, or anything for that matter, ultimately one is responsibility for ensuring one's own safety.

On a different note, today there...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Hi Surf Sail. There is a not a lot of hard information about this but there are a few clues. Nikki said that they have been in daily contact with the Sheriff's office and other agencies and salvage...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

Nothing on GoFundMe in the last six days. I also checked on Facebook and can't find a page for them either. Roughly two days ago I found a page for Tanner and messaged him but I have not heard back...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

This is true, however we must remember that is true whether the book is an e-book or a hard/coft cover book. This is also true for websites. As one of our presidents said, "Trust, but verify!"

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

You are correct that this is off topic. As I mentioned, without knowing what they did and why, there is no point on discussing the merits of books versus using a search engine.

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

From the various articles and interviews it would appear that they did spend some time outfitting their boat but so far I haven't seen any details of what they did or what they contracted out, nor...

It is interesting that you commented on this. In land navigation, there is a similar phenomenon when hiking, especially in areas will few distinctive landmarks. People tend to walk in a circle when...

Re: Another Keel Lost; Another Capsize

I recall a post by one or more who live where this happened. They both said that in addition the buoys possibly moving, the sand bars are constantly changing. In a case of moving sandbars, the...
