Re: Tying stern-to to shore

Sounds like med sailor has a peculiar degree of expertise in this area, much the way from the sound of it to how I got mine....

Re: Painting Question, if I may?

Bite the bullet, and do it right. Take off the old crap, put on proper marine paint - Interlux one or two part coatings, and they have superb support and videos to teach you how it's done. By the...

Re: Tying stern-to to shore

Sounds like you're heading for the North Channel. I worked as a charter captain for Canadian Yacht Charters there for a number of years. In most cases, 150 feet of line will suffice, and it should be...

Re: Politics and Moderation

I honestly don't know whether to answer this, or suggest it goes to OT/Pol. I will say that there is nothing political in either the url for my blog or facebook name. I try to make a point - don't...

Re: Politics and Moderation

Thanks Smack. I just think that this forum is too important to its members to be 'misused' by any one individual for his own aims, particularly when it involves running down the site as was done in...

Re: Politics and Moderation

Since I was the person who posted the information that got the uproar started, I should explain. I have watched Jeff Seigel perform his little act on several different forums - the passive aggressive...

Hey! It's Cuba. You can believe that sign!
I'll have to check out Hemingway's place on my next trip.

Some good laughs in this thread... Having recently been both a sinner and a saint in the mods' opinion in a controversial thread, I truly appreciate how they handle difficult issues here. Compared to...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

That was my impression of the SYC Dave, but I wasn't willing to state that here since I was only observing, not involved. Glad to hear someone is taking up the challenge. Can you give us more info on...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

I met someone in Nyack NY who had done the race, and met Fidel at the supper afterwards. The story was fascinating, but I can't recall it well enough to tell it here. Sarasota Yacht Club has tried...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

The casas have to be licensed by the government, and they are eligible for better food rations since they serve tourists. I've never heard of one that didn't live up to decent standards, and I'm...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

My understanding is that the OT forum is tasked with this - so TAKE IT THERE! I want to talk sailing.

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

A Canadian got into a car accident, I believe someone was injured, and it became quite a complex situation despite the young man being there legally. I believe at one point he might have been jailed...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

Some of you people need to take a reading comprehension course from what I can see here. Did I say anything about prices in Cuba? No - and did I say I was trying, did I even infer that I was trying...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

Jon, things haven't changed...much. The officialdom is still there, but only the initial visit is lengthy. The subsequent clearings are generally one or two Guarda who take a quick look in the boat,...

Re: Will USCG fly over Cuba airspace?

@ blowinstink - I've tried really really hard to keep this on sailing, and the potential of chartering in Cuba. Sorry about what's happened here, since it seems some people want a fight.
