    RTF and any others that may like Marmalade, here is an impressive redo by Dean Ford from 2014.

    Cayenne pepper in bottom paint?

    Best idea by far!

    Cayenne pepper in bottom paint?

    Read post 64. And, by the way, you are one of the exceptions I was referring to.

    Cayenne pepper in bottom paint?

    It was meant to be rude. Why would I be looking for sympathy? Nobody has been rude to me. As for the American statement, do you think it was incorrect?

    Cayenne pepper in bottom paint?

    Your credentials for your profession are impressive and all of your previous advice on here has been well accepted, but that's not what I was questioning. It was your claim that "It is only effective on animals that eat it or somehow otherwise get the capsasin onto sensitive body parts, like...

    Cayenne pepper in bottom paint?

    Stupid idea? I’m curious to know what your credentials are to make that kind of rude statement chief? Are you a biologist, a paint research scientist, or just a rude bottom cleaner (ass wipe)? Wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a geography lesson either chief, so that you would know what type...

    A lot more than my monthly moorage bill.

    Coastal Explorer - Thumbs Up

    Tracking while at anchor While at anchor and when I’m awake, I always know approximately where my anchor is relative to the boat (using CE), so I see no apparent need to use anchor tracking for myself. Of course, it would tell me where I’ve been (which, from what I’ve seen is typically a mess...

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    I found some photos. These were taken before the morning dew had time to dry.

    Finding dinghy docks

    In the PNW I have never seen any marina charge for using their dinghy dock.

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    Skepticism is good. A sample was sent, but of course, the manufacturer said nothing was wrong (at least that's what I was told). No, I'm not sure that Makrolon was actually used, but that's what he told me and that's what is on the invoice. Not near the boat so can't get a sample. But, I'd be...

    PNW GoPro Time Lapse

    We have that puppy mapped out within centimeters of accuracy! Did it with our dinghy the first time we went there.

    PNW GoPro Time Lapse

    Good question. Initially I used the battery only, but soon realized that because my trips were typically 3+ hours, this was too much trouble, so I switched to external power. Because of rain potential and the mounting system, I always use the waterproof case. However, as you may know, the...

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    Yes, now I think it's very possible. Initially, my canvas guy told me that this wasn't the problem and I left it at that. Now though, I'm beginning to question his answer, so the next question is - does anybody know if Makrolon is typically coated on both sides, or, one side only?

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    Same here. But, the reason we discounted that was why would the boat cleaners use something non-approved on the front section only at first, and then come back months later and only use it on the sides only? You would think that if they were going to clean the panels, that they would do them all...

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    Have you used the Lexan with Margard coating before, or will this be the first time? If you have and you like it, and it lasts a long time, I may just go with that. Please let me know.

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    sunchaser, No, they're not tinted. I had asked him about the coating, but he said that it's the same that he's always used, so I left it at that. I'll need to find out more about that now. And by the way, I would rather follow your travails! Ha Ha kchace, I didn't know that there were that many...

    Makrolon Failure - Any Ideas?

    I had new Makrolon installed in April of 2015 on all sides of my enclosed flybridge. After 5-6 months the forward sections began to fail. Fail means that it became somewhat cloudy, and when it rained, a thin layer (almost like a film) on the outside would become loose, so much that you could...

    Dauntless Crosses the Atlantic Again

    Perhaps as in leaving with full tanks of fuel this time? I would think that 2 basic rules of crossing an ocean would be - Rule #1. Top off fuel tanks before leaving! Rule #2. See Rule #1
