  • Buying Belfort Instrument DigiWx SHIT?
    Belfort’s BIGGEST LIAR: [link]

    Belfort Instrument Company’s Ty Burton has "been out
    to the site 4 or 5 times to try and fix the system." How
    many trips does it take to fix a Belfort DigiWx?

  • Re: My big boat project for the week.
    I have discovered that wood = rot. I can no longer abide wood at all.
    Even for decoration wood is untenable. So, I’ve been slowly replacing
    wood with plastic. I’ve only got a few sticks of wood remaining on the
    outside of my vessel. I have plenty of wood inside the accommodation
    where it doesn’t get wet so it tends to rot much more slowly.

    You’re lucky that you didn’t have my anchor neighbor from Antigua to
    distract you. Those big fenders on he foredeck can catch your eye at
    some critical juncture and make a botch of the whole project.

    I’d respectfully suggest that if you are going to paint the plexiglass

  • My big boat project for the week.
    As a live aboard sailor, I do all the maintenance my boat
    might require. This week’s project was not a difficult one.

    About a year ago I made a rain fly out of Plexiglas which
    fits atop the aft end of the companionway sliding hatch.

    Many modern sailboats, probably because of the necessity
    of getting a GRP deck out of the deck mold, are built in such

    I find nothing comforting about those busy places. Give me an
    out of the way anchorage where only a boat or two a week might
    find their way to and I’m a lot happier. I’m thinking of going off to
    the Double Breasted Shot Keys on the Cal Sal Bank one of these
    days because they are uninhabited and almost unfrequented.

    You should walk the walk and come on down here to the Carib. There
    are serious cruisers here from all over the world in boats almost as
    small as yours.

  • Re: Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on, revisited – Part 2…
    It never ceases to amaze this sailor how *cruising* has
    degenerated into a never-ending pursuit of a mechanic
    and/or mechanical parts.

    This pursuit always comes first. So, why is cruising still
    called cruising?

    It should be called "Systems Maintenance on the Go."

  • Hurricane Canoe Tarp
    Boat and canoe blind and tarp are available in many colors, shapes and
    sizes. Material for these varies from canvas to poly tarps. Our boat
    tarps are available for large and small boats. Many people boat for
