Short video from an online newspaper. A Princess 45 was knocked off the deck of a coastal freighter by a 33' tall wave in a storm of the...
Meh think the underwriters would have a copy of recent surveys as well as copies of maintenance and operational procedures and other pertinent...
Bingo on the insurance company: The exact same thing happened a few years ago of the SE FL coast: The insurance company went down with Jason type...
Aye mate, I know how the Rocna works: Had one on previous boat since 2007, imported from Canada. The 44 lbs Rocna held better on the sailboat...
Aye, you dudes are all ganging up on me. What I got for anchor gear will be just fine for now. Deepest I have anchored the last 17 years was Key...
Noooo... I moved to South Florida for 2 reasons: Palmtrees and sunshine. Unless Global Warning speeds up a tad, Greenland will most likely not...
True enough, but in case of emergency I will carry a spare anchor and rode and should be able to tie them together in less than 5 minutes. The...
Possible, but there is already a splice on the rode: Chain/Line: No problem feeding manually thought, small boat, lightweight gear. True, can't...
Funny you mention that, the boat came with 300' of line and 15' of chain. I cut the line into shorter sections: 300' in the bottom of the locker...

No.. Rumor says he ran up on a reef at a good clip with no insurance. Hope it is all wrong.
Hmm, yes. 59 and change. The young girls of course (and Judy) thinks I am only half that. 90's be nice, unless I have to wear diapers and...
No firm info yet on what caused the crash. Based on 500 year technology one could speculate that the reef was not marked, or if the reef was...
Amen Bro: I don't leave no dock without no Paper Charts.o_O It always is but guys get complacent. From my observations, the most successful guys...
I have heard of reefs in the middle of nowhere but never met one. Where was this?
Rumor says there is no insurance. Spencer Jr. was driving. Experienced guy but perhaps one gets complaisant? On a $6. Mill boat there should be a...
Aye Capt. J, you are kind of right: Smarter may be the correct description, but not the happy description: Back in the day when I sailed in all...
