    Flybridge Helm Seats

    I contacted the Selene people first They had no idea who’s seats they are. Didn’t even seem sure what brand of seat was originally used.

    Adding layers of fiberglass to deck

    Then lay on 1” of glass and let us know how that works out. Or, cut open the deck, dig the core out and lay the glass in there. :D

    Fastest drying varnish

    I always put on 3-4 coats of Cetol in a day. Of course I started with a very clean, smooth surface and stuff sanded between every 3rd or 4th coat. I like to put on a minimum of 6 coats and never had a lifting problem. But if you want a fast drying varnish, you can add Japan dryer to most any...

    How do you keep a boat in Florida?

    I know the perfect place here in FLL to do what you want to do. It’s up the N fork of the New River at a church. My 50’ boat rode out this last hurricane season with zero problems thanks to the pastors good work of moving the boats at his dock to the middle of the river for the blow. You can...

    Bahamas

    The beach setup fee is for the large charter boats that setup multiple tents and bring in multiple water toys for a beach party for their charter guests. Not for your average cruiser who sets up a few blankets.

    Avaricious Parasites, Riviera Beach Marina

    The wake rolled over your stern, went in an open door and flooded you engine space. :eek: How did all that water get into the engine space? Were the floor boards open? Through vents of some kind? What happens when you’re in a following sea?

    Oil centrifuges for main engines

    I too am a big fan of bypass filtration and oil centrifuges. I especially love fine micron filters with synthetic oil on my gensets. But then on the boats I run we might be on genset for a week or more at a time. You need to weight the cost of the equipment and installation agains how you...

    Yeah, I asked the question to get clarification as to what exactly form of emigration he was asking about. Which I still don't have the answer to. :D

    Harrowing crossing to the Bahamas. [emoji23]

    "Beating us to death" "whoa this is bad" Give me a break! ? They should rename their boat "Drama Queen". Their crossing was more like a staged "reality" TV show.

    Harrowing crossing to the Bahamas. [emoji23]

    "It is very hard to get a good handle on the seas from video shot from above rather than at water level." Just site along the horizon using your bow tail and/or flag staff as a reference as they move above and below the horizon should give you a pretty good idea of the size of the seas...
