    Other: offer - but no answer

    I would just cite the offer number, date and vessel involved. Demand immediate return of the deposit. Has the deposit gone through your account?

    Other: offer - but no answer

    An honest mistake and one the broker should have discussed with you, before you signed it. You are taking the high road, by not going public, so now just be forceful, but decent. Set up a short notice appointment with the broker and go with a written withdrawal in hand. If there is no...

    Other: offer - but no answer

    That's the key. If the offer was written Friday, I'd forego the weekend and think in terms of tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Regardless of the reasoning, the broker should know what he is dealing with and tell you. Otherwise he is not earning his keep. The longer it goes the more I...

    Very important question for me

    Is there good solid information on the engine rebuilds? Who, what, when, where, etc.?

    CAT 3208 new knock

    rob; This won't help with solving anything but will hopefully give moral support. I like your calm, through this thing; especially your clear and descriptive posts. Both your posts and ski's are easy to follow and do generate good mental pictures. I sense no frustration at either end. This...

    What type/brand of lifejackets should we buy?

    No, because I need to be licensed and there is far too much PST, GST, BS paperwork. But if we go in together and you toss me overboard, we are now into stunt territory and can write our own cheques.:socool:

    What type/brand of lifejackets should we buy?

    Excellent comment and endorsement. Not only for practicality but, spoken into the right camera would fetch you about 5 grand in use fees.:D

    What type/brand of lifejackets should we buy?

    My concern with auto inflate is that I have been known to take a dive, without forethought, in places where a PFD would not be needed, resulting in a unnecessary inflate. That means more cartridges and more dates to check. Also, a rarity I know, but capsize is not unheard of. I think, all...

    Careful there Billy, 20% of all smart phones make it into the terlet.

    Auto or manual inflate?

    How do delivery captains work?

    Yes, hopefully. Unlike heavy equipment "providers" sending someone they have never seen to bash around next to your house. Dispatchers is all they are.

    How do delivery captains work?

    150 miles on a day rate sounds pretty good to me.

    When did anchoring become so complicated?

    Yup, really. Buddy has had a Delta Fastset on his 1990, 42 Canoe Cove forever. Spends 4 months on the hook, on BC's central and north coast every year. Why change for the sake of change?

    How do delivery captains work?

    Reading Boatkied's thread about his new Seahorse 52 and moving it from Ft Meyers to Annapolis, I wonder; On a multi day delivery; How do captains charge, by day, hours, miles, flat rate? Are they regulated to maximum hours in a day? Do they stay on the boat or are you expected to hotel them...

    Going to look at 2 boats. . .how do you figure what a fair offer is?

    What an intriguing boat. I would really like to read comments from folks qualified to talk about the build quality and materials. $450,000 in work, over 6 years, redoing a lot of original installs less than 10 years old. Is this now a complete boat or an ongoing (major) project boat?

    Need advice for first longer cruise.

    Dave; You asked about running up the east side of Texada and here is why I said no; If you were going Nanaimo to Desolation Sound the east side route is a viable option, especially if Whiskey Gulf is active. However, to me, the west side makes more sense in your case. With the kids driving...

    Sun protection, what do you use ?

    Whenever I follow these kinds of discussions I wonder, as I'm sure a lot of other folks do, how the hell my grandfathers made it past 40. They both smoked, drank in moderation, never cleaned the coffee pot and everything was fried in lard that never left the pan; just got added to. No...

    9 Days On Board

    Very cool, thank you. There were lots of waving girls on our coast as well. Seemed like they only waved to loggers on their way out of camp though. :smitten:

    Sun protection, what do you use ?

    Lol. Love it. But seriously now, give us the inside scoop; will that shroud lift next spring to reveal a half dozen LNG facilities and a mountain of gold?
