    How to best get my GB 36' Classic from Anacortes WA to Portland OR

    If you time the bar crossing for high slack it may well be like a bath tub. Go Neah Bay to Greys Harbor. High slack only. Exit Greys Harbor most any time and then time Columbia Bar for high slack only on your first crossing. Do not attempt it any other timing on your first crossing. I've been...

    CE4 Video Input for WiFi Cameras

    Ok I'm still confused. If these cameras use an IP address, is it not possible to connect them to a standard desktop computer? What happens if your internet access goes down at home? You still have your cameras working with connection to your WiFi and desktop. Correct? Never had IP cameras before...

    CE4 Video Input for WiFi Cameras

    Thanks. Now could you repeat that in English?? I have learned from CE that the video input requires cameras that support MotionJPEG format or MJPEG for short. The Arlo cameras use proprietary protocols that only work with their software. So that's out. What I want is to use wireless battery...

    Travel Warnings Issued for Mexico

    Ok I get your issue. However, let's not describe this as "Mexico" but rather specific places in Mexico. If you take the Mexico approach then you better get out of the US and go to Bhutan cuz you have a greater chance of violence here than in Mexico.

    Harrowing crossing to the Bahamas. [emoji23]

    I've had my 60 ft pounding through this same stretch with spray over the top of my flybridge enclosure many times. The gorge can get very rough indeed. It can be a wild river ride through here!
