Regarding the results for boat ages, there is a sudden drop off at 30 years, so what happened 30 years ago that there were suddenly fewer (new) boats being bought??

Lovely!!! you'll have to raft up one day - our names match.

As before IT, If I'm pushed I'll do it now, was intending to start doing things to the boat around the end of this year.

I like the composting one because it is cleaner and simpler. Maybe explain that to the family. How many times does one have to spend a beautiful day anchored in paradise disassembling a bloody toilet to think that there has to be a better way. my wife hates the old one as much as I do.

I still think the airhead route is the way to go, you can ask me again in a year or so

Viewed objectively there is nothing more absurd than the usual sea-going toilet of the modern production yacht. What expense and engineering, what a profligate use of space and materials, what a baroque concoction of pipes and valves and pumps and skin fittings, what a sop to over-developed human sensitivities, all for the purpose of transferring a small amount of matter a distance of about twelve inches, from here on the inside of the hull, to there on the outside of the hull. -- From Mingming and the Art of Minimal Ocean Sailing by Roger D.

Finding the opportunities to have a "nap" is a very important and sometimes problematic part of cruising with kids.
-
When Nancy was about 9 she asked if she could have a go at rowing the dinghy by herself. Mum and Dad wanted a nap so I said OK if she stayed tethered to the boat. When I came back on deck she was a few hundred yards away, she had taken every piece of line she could find sand tied them all together so she could row a bit further. Took me most of the afternoon to re rig the boat.
-
We used to get underway very early (4-5 am), leave the kids to sleep, sail the days distance by midday and mum would take them into town/to the beach/whatever while dad had a catch up nap and we would swap p[laces the next day. You are right, do less sailing and more time with other activities.

Christmas/New Year cruising - where are you off to?
Black Panther replied to Mothership's topic in MarineTalk
That Tom is a good man, he saved us a couple of timers. Just arrived at GH after a delightful few days coming down from Opua. Xmas dinner in the house then down to the boat and see which way the wind is blowing. -
It's nearly Xmas, go for the 9.2, all it is missing is a dodger and an oven.
