AlainP Funny you should suggest that as I was also going to ask, soon, What weather map people were using. This may be the answer but I'm not there yet. The reason I brought up Wavve is that I keep seeing adds for it and I would like to have a backup for Aquamaps. When I was on the St Johns...

I use Aquamap. I joined and am still learning to make routes up. When using Aquamaps It really sucks with trying to know what land area you are near. Tho you can see yourself on the map its often not possible to clearly see adjacent town names and Highway routes. This often makes me keep...

Is anyone using the Wavve Boating App on their iPhones for planning or navigating? If so what are your thoughts?

I know, just jazzing you. I hope you're off to other places and will stuff that old Penguin with more cool photos. Really enjoyed the lake Powell photos as that is on our list.

You're doing fine Colby. This conversation started a good bit ago, while you were doing a photo blast of the upper costal west. So initially I had posted some line of questioning on where I should mount the Drum Winch. I did decide I will put it exactly where the forward bow cleat is. Dr Bob...

Thank you everyone for discussing this subject and for giving me the confidence to move forward on this project. For most projects I can make up my own mind but this requires major changes and, my dread, holes drilled into Thistle's hull. I hate drilling new holes in an otherwise perfect boat...

weaker looking

overkill?

Plus in addition to all your comments earlier in the thread Bob asked if I was using Spectra or Dynamo. I believe that the concern was not so much when anchored but rather during long term wet storage in a slip. With this scenario the dock lines might be adjusted so that the line passes more...

I'll check that in Chapmans. Thanks so much.

It's been 25 or more years since I picked up a mooring and it was at Keyport Yacht Club in Raritan Bay, NJ, from an Albin 29 sailboat. I can't for the life of me remember how it went. Do you always carry your own harness or do most harbors provide them? Do all morning balls have a clevis/shackle...

Sound advice and simple.

Thanks for al the answers. IMO these boats don't impress me as being the best choice a permanent mooring boats. No real reason they shouldn't be its just that they're pretty easy to put back onto the trailer. I guess I agree with Bob that the Item I was thinking of were called 1/4 round rub...

Foggy, I had a pressurized alcohol stove and it was cranky. Advised by other boaters not to use it on board I soon sold it. But the stove I have now is non-pressurized, easy and dependable, and cooks like a dream. I just have no Idea how much fuel it consumes. Thanks for the heads up.

Cool and easy Idea for a funnel. I won't elaborate on a few I made as it was a long time ago and they worked terribly bad. I'm so glad you have documented this whole process well as it will serve so many owners going forward.

That is great advice. I'll check the extinguishers on board and make sure they're approved and if not I'll add the proper one to the kitchen area. Thanks.

Yes I agree. It is a two burner and I've been only adding a few ounces at a time and it completes my meal. I like cooking on these stoves.

Might I use these instead of chocks? RUB STRAKE HALF OVAL HOLLOW BACK STAINLESS STEEL (316)
