Are you implying that in this situation a nylon rode would be better than an all chain? If so, I'm interested in learning why. I realize that it may be a long explanation and don't expect you to spend a lot of time explaining it to me, so is there somewhere on the internet that you know of that...

Benicia is normally full, especially for your size boat. As for end ties, there is a very long wait list.

Yes, plenty of malls, Walmarts and K-Marts around! I thought you were looking for the big city type of shopping and entertainment when I said you need to get closer to Frisco.

Mark is correct. Except that none of the marinas with easy access to the delta have anything remotely close to your entertainment and shopping requirements. You'll need to get close to Frisco for that.

I like 'em too. Unless they're directed at me, of course.

Where is it at now?

Sounds like a missed opportunity for a securite call. He didn't miss anything. The freighter passed through a couple of hours earlier. He is asking for future reference, and it's a good question.

I don't understand. If the boat is already owned by a customer, how do you give him a discount off the purchase price? What am I missing?

You can buy fixtures (with bulbs) that comply. However, the LED replacement bulbs themselves are not certified (even though they may meet the requirements) and the honest LED websites state this, and go on to basically say use at you own risk. marinebeam.com has good LED info.

If you have energy consumption issues, probably so, as every little bit of savings adds up.

Wait a minute - did you buy this boat sight unseen? Did I miss something?

Seems as though you clicked on the bogus "You Have 2 (sometimes 1) Private Messages" ad.

It gets much better, as in a close, exciting race. These boats might as well be doing time trials. In case anybody has lost perspective on what close racing is and how bad this has been so far, NZ beat ITA by over 5 minutes. At these speeds, that is equal to almost 20 minutes in the old...

Go KIWI's at least on Emirates Team NZ - there is a Kiwi on pretty much every boat in the field which is a sore point down under. They say that if they win (which is very possible), they're going to change the rules back to where they were - only nationals on the teams. No more hired guns. I...

Bay Area Comcast - channel 186 COZI I don't think anybody here can be a bigger cup fan than me, and I'm sorry to say, I don't think these will be good races. I've thought this since the 2010 cup. They weren't good races then and these probably won't be either. These boats are just too fast...

Yikes! Another boat from Roche Harbor burned and sank the same day! This happened about 10 miles from Roche Harbor. Boat burns, sinks off of Swartz Bay - Victoria News

Now that, they would understand. Maybe.

48' DeFever birthed in Canada? Poor Jan! :) Jack Webb? As in Sgt. Joe Friday? :)

Power boat. And, most will ask about the length as they're interested in the size. That's about all they're going to understand or care about. For the non boating public, weight wouldn't mean anything as they have no idea how to translate that into size. Trawler and weight = head scratching...

Pretty sure it's Royal Navy. Sounds a lot like the USN as well.

There was a boat show at Roche several weeks ago. Almost all were new, or almost new, OA's. The smallest, if I remember correctly, was a 72'. There was definitely a new 85'. Was it the same one? I don't know for sure, but it would be odd, I think, to have two new 85's in the PNW at the same...

It appears to still have "Ocean Alexander" written on the transom, so it probably hasn't even been sold yet. There are always a lot of big, newer OA's there. The "poor bugger" may be a dealer.

Oops! I forgot the smiley face! :)

No apologies needed as I wasn't offended. I guess I have trouble discerning poking fun and personal attacks sometimes. For my benefit, would you please require everyone from now on to add smiley faces if they're just poking fun? That way I'll know for sure what is what. Ha Ha!

Yes I did. In the hopes that maybe some of the garbage and sarcasm around here might subside. But, I won't hold my breath.
