    Suspicious Seller

    It was a rhetorical question. I tried to find a report mechanism on the site to alert the moderators but couldn’t find one. The seller is Bill001. I apologise to Bill (even though his gmail starts with Chris) if I am wrong. The internet has made me cynical.

    Suspicious Seller

    I have been approached by a new member, via PM. Zero posts, just registered, who has the exact thing for sale that I’m looking for. Member details show city as New York, State as Alaska and country as Canada. Should I be suspicious?

    Starlink RV is now Starlink Roam

    My account is the Roam account. It was shipped to Miami but I use it on my dock in part of the Caribbean where Starlink is not yet available as a residential product. I received this today. “ As a Mobile (or "Roam") customer, you are now able to opt-in to purchase Mobile Priority Data for...

    Starlink offshore

    What speeds are you getting in Antigua? I live here and would seriously consider getting it as a home install.

    New flooring complete

    They actually sell rolls of the border strips separately. You can choose the colour of the outer edging of the border strip too. I’m buying the light grey for my flybridge floor which hopefully will cover up the visible signs of the git-rot/epoxy strengthening work.

    Replacing an inflatable with something bigger?

    I have a 12 foot porta-bot. It’s one of the older models so a little unstable but I think the newer models might fit your bill. Mine is paired with a 4hp engine and really flies. Light enough to leave set up and hung from your davit and doesn’t interfere with docking.

    MMSI Update

    I have the Vesper XB-8000 AIS Transceiver installed on a boat that I have recently purchased. The MMSI number was issued in the U.K. but now the boat is registered in the Caribbean and the island is insisting on issuing a new local MMSI number. I contacted Vesper/Garmin and they gave me the...

    Auto fire extinguisher size

    Thanks to you all for your replies. Engines would shut off quickly after activation of alarm with the option to restart them as a manual override. I’m looking into some auto closing engine vents to prevent the gas escaping and oxygen coming in. I believe some boats come with this as standard...

    Legacy Harbour Marina, Ft. Myers, is destroyed.

    Sorry to hear about your boat. Hopefully your insurance will have it covered. The good news is that you’re safe and well - please keep it that way.
