Wecome! We are in Stuart.

I have displayed a public route on the screen and now I can't remove it from the screen. Any suggestions about how to remove the on screen display? Thanks

When I had a sailboat with cable controls, I was docking moving slowly forward towards another boat. Getting ready to backdown towards my slip I began to shift into neutral and the shift lever came right off in my hand. I hit the boat in front of me. Anything can happen when least expected.

Bump. $900

How about working from the outside and banging it back in then go to the inside and bang it back out. Keep working it in and out in both directions until it loosens enough to pull it out. Lube it real good with grease or WD-40 as well. Just a thought.

when I clicked on an icon that appears to be the location symbol I receive a message that says GPS unavailable. What does that mean? I should note that I am using an iPhone.

All I can think to add is "You don't know and you don't know you don't know." I wish you good luck, seriously I do.

There are people that can repair that hole. Research leather repair.

A beautiful morning on the hook at Hobe Sound, FL.

I will turn 82 in a couple of weeks. As long as the body holds up, and the mind is acute, I have no intention of giving up boating. We liveaboard and boating is not just a lifestyle; it is our "life." I have two friends at the marina that are livingaboard, one is 94 the other will be 95 in a...

I've been using Silk Guard with every strainer cleaning for 4 years. My slip neighbor who turned me on to it has been using it regularly for 15 years and has never needed to Barnacle Buster his A/C system. And his pumps have never needed replacement. He has a 52' Maritimo. My chiller system...

Well I did when my windlass failed.

I just renewed online and had no difficulty. Multi-year renewal was available online as well. I already had a pay.gov account so maybe that's why. You may need to setup a pay.gov account first.

We are totally safe

The NY Post reported this and also stated that the U.S. government has listed it as a no travel warning. I have not verified this.

As far as I know, it's illegal to use home heating oil in a diesel boat or car. That's why marine fuel is dyed red. I could be wrong so check it out.

I have had a 36 and a 46 GB, There was no shower sump in either boat. There was a small Rule float activated bilge pump in a small depression in the shower pan itself. When the pump was activated it pumped the shower water directly overboard.

Great

After you click on desktop, then select one of the topics to read, and it should go back to a desktop view.

Up at the top should be a tab labeled "Forums." Click that then you should see a place to click desktop view. BTW, you will get familiar with RT's humor.

FYI, the admiral once dropped a diamond ring down the galley sink. Thank goodness for the trap. Don't leave home without one!

Many OAs were powered with Volvo engines. Not an engine I personally would like to have.

While learning my new to me boat I discovered a Fortress FX85 anchor in the "bosun's" locker hidden under a pile of old fenders. It was in a damp environment but as best I can tell the anchor is unused. It is rated for boats 59' - 68'. The anchor alone at WM is $1,600 and the Stowaway bag is...

Don will be missed. Condolences to his family.

On my boat the idle rpm drops by 100 rpm when I engage "slow" mode. The concept is that the boat moves without an abrupt motion when gear is engaged for close quarters maneuvering.
