Go to the Customs dock first! Do not pass go, do not collect $200.00 ! In Victoria it's right next to the Wharf Street Marina on the south side. The closest marina (and I mean close, across the street) to the Empress Hotel is the Causeway Marina. In May, you can probably get in without a...

Now here is a fun raft up! SoreThumb: Boat Raft-up Gone Bad - YouTube

Did I miss something? Which anchors have less ability set at longer scopes?

Who bottles it? You? This whole time I thought you meant store bought bottled water.

BandB, As much as you post, I'm surprised you haven't noticed thread creep on almost every subject around here. Better get used to it instead of getting upset, or whatever you want to call it.

I have red lights and I don't have to put my hand over them to see which is lit, even in bright daylight (I also have a buzzer). And, I sure as hell don't want to have to take the time to dive into the engine room to determine what the problem is. I want to know immediately.

After now understanding that your communications with the dock master (new or old) were through e-mail, my opinion has changed. E-mails are so impersonal that I think you definitely took it wrong(ly).

New dock master? What happened to the old one that this thread is all about? Did you manage to get him fired?

I've been following them for some time on their website as well as youtube. Their most interesting video is them riding out Hurricae Sandy - 2012-10-28 Riding out Hurricane Sandy at Anchor, Deltaville, VA - YouTube

Boomerang, I agree with you. It's a serious business and a simple point you were making. And, it amazes me that some people either don't get that point, or, simply want to argue semantics just for the sake of arguing. Which makes me wonder what their point is.

Along with Tony Fleming's videos, this is my favorite. Before the Operations Begin - Television | NZ On Screen Someday...

If he gives you plenty of time after the inspection to explain and show everything he found, then I don't see a big problem. This is what Schmidt did with me. If he doesn't want to be bothered after the inspection either, and wants to give you a report on a piece of paper only - big problem...

After reading the original post, Damselfly may, in fact, be looking to only crew on a boat down the ICW (with her captain), rather than owning, or looking for one.

Where exactly is your area? That would be nice to know for reference. Then it would be helpful. And, cardboard over a license plate? Where in the hell can you get away with a warning on that?

For what you're looking for, the Strictly Sail Pacific (some powerboats too) boat show in Oakland (Jack London Square), April 10 -13 will be much better. 10-20 times the vendors compared to Trawler Fest. And, it's much closer for you!

Princess Louisa Inlet. The mist is from Chatterbox Falls.

Rock that wouldn't come out easily. I finally used a trip line.

Schmidt and List both have great reputations. If you're not getting responses, or, are declined, that probably means they're too busy with their regular customers (brokers). If you're using an experienced and locally known broker, have them call on your behalf. Brokers have "pull". I'd be...

Very plausible reason for improved performance. Probably one of many. No, not the actual challenger boat. The actual 35th AC boat design, cup protocol and venue hasn't even been announced yet. Hopefully, by the end of the month. This is the first Australian AC 45, which will be used for all...

Wait a minute. This thread says you plan to launch later this year, and your other thread says you just transited the Panama Canal and are headed to the Galapagos. ??? Which one is it? Am I losing it, or did I miss something?

To show you how crazy these theories are - this theory says to do the same as post #1, but it says you will move to starboard, not port! http://www.captainhugenot.com/images/TWIN-SCREW_06-2004.pdf Which one is correct? The one that works on your boat.

Otter Bay in the Gulf Islands

If this turns out to be official and not a rumor, the official Challenger of Record will actually be the Hamilton Island Yacht Club from Queensland and not Bob Oatley himself. And, delivering the official challenge within seconds of completing the AC regatta is customary. Happens every time...
