Re item six. Once you are comfortable with the strap down system I would purchase a $5 ceramic knife+sheath to strap down right next to the strap downs. Cheap insurance. While the knives are...

I received my little tin clock today. It runs and keeps decent time...130 years old...so cool.

A good spot to watch the fireworks and well protected from the NW is the channel on the west side of Wards island. You get a great view of Hilton from about a mile upriver. Depth is around 10 to 12...

Jackie, I reread your post. You checked that thing out from the library?!! That is a pretty awesome library resource. Too bad they don't check out rafts, epirbs, and SOLAS pyrotechnics.

Not off to Australia yet, headed out on the 25th of July. Speaking of which, funny situation with my Brother in Law. He was an airline pilot flying for Air New Guinea for many years. The Australian...

Yea Bob, it will be a reminder that technology is not the be all and end all. I can use the reminder!

The sole proprietor of the (now closed)...

Well then. Food for thought...no pun intended.

Yep, the exhaust sounds like a small rocket motor when the thing is turned up high. I have the outlet located hi on the stern so no issue in the boat but in a marina or crowded anchorage it is going...

I installed a "cheap chinese diesel heater" (google it) last year before my trip to the TBF. Also installed a CO monitor. I used to use an electric heater when I stayed over in marinas but now I...

New sat tracking outfit. Looks interesting...and cheap. Someone's gonna have to integrate their "swarm tile" into a simple tracking device.

Brian, you could integrate one of these things into...

Well, now I am looking over my shoulder. This is the second or third boarding report. I see CG buzzing by all the time on my Delta runs so, sooner or later, I am going to get inspected. The only...

Congrats Kyle!!!

Great race, but what do you expect from a Cal Maritime alum?

Showers on the foredeck, drone flying, ships passing becalmed boats, birds in bells, hemp seeds, no wind

Now that's an SHTP to remember. What fun is wind when you can be in the middle of the...

Kyle's tracker is headed south again.

who's sailing X "bottom left" :cool:

Meanwhile, David Garman reports Perplexity is hitting 18 kts on his way down from Seattle.

A little practice I guess.

Things will be a little different this year in terms of lodging in Kauai. The Yellow House was not available for rent so the RC will be located in a small condo in Princeville. As a result, the couch...

Northwester, I've sent you a PM re inspection. We should talk.
