I've been in contact and they do have the boat and are/were on it. A non boating issue came up and cruising plans were put on hold. Not sure of...
The battle for 2nd and 3rd was pretty good at the end. But the Indy finish was better. :D
Other than Med mooring, in most cases I just deploy one anchor. The times that I have used both it's not in a Bahamian Moor style. But with the...
I agree that U-Lines are not that great for use on a boat. But you just need to fold up a towel and put it unit when you defrost them to catch and...

What Pascal said. Cheesy name but good app.
"We had three bilge pumps working, but couldn’t stop the water.’’ Doesn't sound like the pumps stopped working. Sounds like the cause is...
Most likely you can not hear it. At least not very load if you have the dooor closed and your AC running. If you have a smart phone with the...
