    Fears of a major medical emergency

    I just went to a class run by an ER doctor and it was interesting because he contacted the Coast Guard to ask their opinion of things and they said they would rather be hailed for a non-emergency than for someone to be afraid to call them in an emergency. Let them be the ones who decide if you...

    States as Food!

    They totally missed NY. Yes, Buffalo is the home to great wings but there is way more to NY than that!! Come downstate and you've got the best pizza, bagels and egg sandwiches in the country bar none!!

    Long Island intracoastal

    LOVE the Connecticut River - especially Hamburg Cove. That's probably our favorite place to go!! I was just talking to my husband and if you went around the South Shore of Long Island, there are places where you can cut in and out and probably be fine depth-wise (after all, the ferries come in...

    Long Island intracoastal

    With so many great places to go in Long Island Sound, I'd rather go that way than to have to worry so much about the depths. :)

    Long Island intracoastal

    Most of that area is really small boats - day boats and small sailboats in the deeper areas. LOTS of fishing and I don't think as much transient kind of set-ups.

    Long Island intracoastal

    It looks like you are: FACT SHEET-Long Island Intracoastal Waterway, New York - Federal Navigation Channel > New York District > Fact Sheet Article View I have no idea of what the South Shore waters are like other than I know they are very shallow when we've driven over the bridges. You can...

    Long Island intracoastal

    What intercoastal are you talking about? If you are talking about coming up the East River where large barges traverse the waters, there is no problem. If you are talking about Long Island Sound which is miles across and significantly deep, you will have no problem. We live on Long Island on...

    I hate boats!!

    We were at the same boat show (and we're neighbors!) and fell in love with the Kadey Krogens. SIGH - I wonder which kidney to sell??

    Suggestions for what to look at?

    Thanks Ron (hey! we're neighbors!) A friend of ours has a Hatteras and it's a very nice boat but I'd definitely want some upgrading if we went that route! :)

    Suggestions for what to look at?

    We really thought about going but we couldn't get off of work and we're not THAT close yet to picking up our new boat. We're just more doing research right now and trying to find what boats to look at. But I can safely say that Krogens are SOOOO pretty and they caught my eye really fast. :)...

    Suggestions for what to look at?

    Thanks Bayview! Yeah, fortunately with having been sailing/cruising for 22 years on two boats (Tartan 33 then the Catalina 42), we already have some ideas of things we like and things we don't like. When we go on a boat, we immediately think of things like you mention. Fortunately, what you...

    Suggestions for what to look at?

    Hi all! I'm new to this forum and would love some input. Hubby and I are sailors, currently sailing a Catalina 42 MkII three cabin and really loving it. We are getting to the point in life, however, where a trawler is in the future and so we are beginning to do our homework, seeing what we...
