Yard folks pulled this in a few minutes ago. My greatest fear is getting crab gear in your props. USCG not far behind. We have seen this boat in the past. It served the cruise ships for tours of glaciers in Tracey Arm. There were 2 of them. One of them hit a bergy (a chuck of ice just below...

GIECO dropped us this year and this required us to seek a new insurance company. All the quotes I received from our broker, Peter, has navigation restrictions, no boating above the 51 longitude line from October to May 15th. I have never came across this in all my years of cruising the PNW...

From BoatTest.com Some interesting tips and suggestions. On the west coast I believe most docks are floating. So how do you deal with a "fixed" dock? We also use the Eartec headsets which keeps the shouting at each other at a minimum...

EV Boats. Mayday mayday mayday. I have run my batteries low. My solor panels are down and need a tow!!! So what do you do? There is nothing political here. Just a little funny to think about.

So I started this thread to try and understand the "sometimes" attitude between the USCG and AUX. Plus winter is just around the corner. Every year, in March without fail I have the AUX do a safety inspection of ASD so I can get the nifty sticker to display. We always pass the inspection. I...
