OOPS.....I now see my error. You meant that you pull the crab pots by hand. Whew.....I thought....Gee, Sandy, you sure are lazy! --------------------------- Patrick, so you pull up 300 or 400 feet of line with a pot hanging on it by hand?! I'm impressed! I've done it a 2 or 3 times due to...

Clever!

I see. Maybe my stern rides a little higher too. The bottom of the scuppers are maybe 1/2" above the water surface.

Hunkydory, I've been using the Delorme link to follow your daily (sometimes even hourly) progress. It's like magic! I love watching where you go nearly minute by minute. I'm particularly enjoying this leg of your journey since about 20 years ago I and 5 friends did a sea kayak 10 day trip in 3...

Boris, I am confused by your statement that: "I ask Judy to set up front so that the drains drain." Did you mean that you have her sit far in the stern? My CD25 2 cockpit drains out the far aft corners of the cockpit. If I have weight forward, true there more head height, but the water in the...

Pat, what was the total amp-hours of this 2 battery house bank when new?

Big Dave, Yes, I used propane for the test (note the standard 1 pound propane bottle). Nothing special about the burner.....the typical size you find on a boat. Surprising to me is that the problem isn't too little heat to properly bake the dough, but that I have to set the stove so it doesn't...

I learned about this Swedish baking pan by watching cruising sailing videos on Youtube (Ran II specifically). It was a bit expensive but I took a chance and am very satisfied. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YLJQ5U?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I highly recommend getting this too...

Tosca is bailing 🙁. The weather was the last straw. Various commitments have been closing in on me (including a wedding, and an unexpected medical procedure for my wife that has me tied up all day today). What a strange spring we've had.....the weather can't seem to decide if it is March or...

John, I don't have a passport. I use Washington Stat'e "Enhanced Driver's License" to travel back and forth across the border. Do you know if that's acceptable for the ArriveCan form when travelling with a recreational boat?

Bilge pumps usually have multiple methods of being hooked up (along with accompanying extra wires). Look up the manual for your pump and be sure you understand how it is designed to be hooked up to the 12v system.

journey on, This "Israeli report" has caused much confusion since it was released last summer. This report ("Maccabi Healthcare Services" report) is often quoted as saying that "natural immunity" is some 13 times more effective at preventing reinfection with Delta than someone who had the 2...

Tom, medical science doesn't agree with you. It is known that the COVID vaccines increase one's protection even if you've been previously infected by the virus; therefore, the "stupid" policy is more likely to be a policy of refusing to get the vaccine regardless of whether or not you've been...

Well, I'm about to get some real world experience with a battery powered largish boat in a couple of years. As many of you know, I live on Guemes Island which is directly north of Anacortes (gateway to the San Juan Islands in WA state). We Guemanians (as I call us) depend on a small county ferry...

Gotta agree with you on that one.... :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: I plan to spend a lot of time in Canada this summer. I'm a bit afraid that latent demand is going to make it crowded up there. For the first time, I'm grateful to the non-vaxxers :wink:.
