  1. I was typing a response but CD beat me.
  2. Meanwhile https://www.thepost.co.nz/politics/350242260/caught-out-cameras-boats-reveal-massive-under-reporting-wildlife-deaths
  3. You are allowed to turn starlink off
  4. I veered off the dock in Noumea after a few celebratory drinks. Everyone thought it was deliberate so no harm done.
  5. Not sure such a thing exists. Best I can come up with is one person came up with the idea and it was adopted.
  6. I had a failure last week. Not a yanmar. Replacement $1250. Gut with a workshop repaired the old one $30.
  7. BTW we wmt dinghysploring up the river over easter, didn't see anything to get excited about.
  8. I think that if a boat has decent mooring cleats and serviced through hulls nobody has any right to complain. I also hate the idea of an insurance company telling me what I can and can't do. e.g. leaving the pacific after October. That's my decision.
  9. Is this where we are headed? House Bill 4844 would be a brief addition to South Carolina law, requiring that owners who want to anchor in the state for more than two weeks pay for insurance to cover salvage costs if their boats sink:
  10. So maybe it's a sailboat
  11. Very few boats have left our river
  12. Don't have a chat plotter as this works just fine. Also Don't bother with a speedo anymore, speed is on the phone too.
  13. I went to Fiji and back using an android phone and mariner mx primarily and navionics occasionally. Had a tablet as well but phone was more convenient.
  14. I waste far too much time looking at this
  15. Waaaaaaaa. We were going to get off the mooring for the first time in aaaages.
  16. Hull is balsa cored so what youmight end up drilling through that
  17. Ok, might need a professional opinion to know for sure, but the rust you see could be from 50 yrs of condensation. They weep a lot, if anyone knows a solution to that one I'd love to hear it. Sounds like a nasty job , good luck.
  18. I see Sail GP as akin to professional wrestling.
  19. What is your objection to reproducing the original, they are well proven. In fact why are you wanting to replace them?
  20. Nice, I loved the old paint job.
  21. Oh I remember that one from when I was a teenager racing dinghies at Onerahi.
  22. Just went by, they haven't drowned yet.
