Out Of Here

Sad to say I will be off the air for an extended period after 5-10-13.. No problems and my experience here has been near perfect. While I realize that this is just the Internet, the players are...

Re: 700% increase in Insurance!

We survived "Katrina" in the Oak Harbor Marina, with only cosmetic damage and no water in the interior. We provided Allstate with photos before and after, showing how we prepared and the result. 40...

Re: 700% increase in Insurance!

Hi there Joe. We have a similar problem with Allstate, and Boat US is even higher. Last year the policy more than doubled. As a result we cut the coverage in half and retained liability in order...

Re: Real life playing out one of my ideas.

May be much more to this than we will ever know. I know a few people who have messed up in the drug area and still have their children. I, for one, do not trust this government at all and would not...

Re: Headed North...

Gary, Never give up, we all, at least those of us who are getting up there, have those same feelings after a long pleasurable but difficult sail, especially on the return leg. You sounded so very...

We went through the exact issues after "KATRINA". We had the bronze eyes which we removed and used in new stainless tubing, the old having been bent. Our eyes were held in by what is called Roll...

Re: Raritan "Cricket" Head

Thank you Jeff. I have been looking for a while without success. Hate to give it up as I am space challenged in the head area and the Cricket fits nicely. It still works but I know that it is old...

Raritan "Cricket" Head

We have one of these old Crickets and need a rebuild kit. Raritan no longer supplies the parts so we are out of luck there. Hoping someone out there has one on their, no longer needed, shelf. Any...

Re: Every day's a good day in Paradise...

Re: Old woman and the sea
