In the English Channel it would most likely be too deep. But there are many area's like Bahamas Bank or West coast of FL, where 15 miles offshore...
I know you can get a 6 pack at 18 years old. However, I'm pretty sure you need to be 21 for a USCG 100 ton Master. And, I'm pretty sure the...
I ran a Grand Alaskan, I was NOT impressed with the build quality albeit it was an older one. Typical Taiwan build quality quarks......fuel...
Also Captains are looking for insurance that covers them running a myriad of various yachts.
The Awlwood from Awlgrip is a very good product for that as well and durable.

If you go from Oswego, ny to Troy, ny or NYC, it is 20'6" minimum clearance, but usually there's another foot or so.
These are a lot of the same stops I use, except I would skip Savannah and substitute Hilton Head as it's a MUCH shorter run into the marina....
I agree with this. I also would leave the batteries in the factory location right now. You lightened the motors but also sounds like they moved...
See if you can find any oil residue anywhere. If all of the Freon leaked out, you should feel the oil around where the leak is.
To be honest, if it's R12, it's REALLY old and if the sight glass all of a sudden shows no Freon/oil at all, it most likely sprung a big leak and...
