I saw this post by Jon Eisenberg over at the CSBB forum (
SailboatOwners.com - Latest forum activity ) where he posts from time to time. I've actually been lurking about over there for longer then I have at sailnet so I have come to really enjoy Jon Eisenberg's posts. He is a delivery captain who has written a few articles that have been published in Cruising World and has been for many years. This post is typical in it's honesty, depth of detail and sense of humor.
Having said that, does anyone want to install electric heads that require fresh water for flushing on their boats or any of the other 'fancy' products that did not work so well for them?
Jon also posted about the recent sailboat rescue just below Block Island. He was as incredulous as the rest of us were at this story
Inconceivable, that someone would have departed Narragansett Bay yesterday, bound for Puerto Rico... (pic)
The irony is that he has taken his own 30+ foot sailboat down to the islands and seems to like leaving the NJ coast in the Dec/Jan time frame. He seems to be able to do it single handed without setting off his EPIRB.
