    newbie 101

    Congratulations on your purchase! It will be a while until my wife and I can purchase (4 to 5 years probably). Exciting to see others moving ahead. We just chartered a 37FT boat and had a great time in the PNW! Kirk

    Pocket Watch?

    Nice story, thanks. Here are 2 of my pocket watches. They both have 21 jewels. The top one is a railroad watch. The second one is a World War II aviation watch used by pilots to coordinate flights. Kirk

    My niece paddling

    My brother has run that rapid. There is a rock called "the thing" at the bottom near that giant wave. If you run into it you may break your ankle/leg. There have been cases where paddlers have broken both ankles.

    Sorry Bombchelle, I got your boat mixed up with one from a different post. I was trying to do too many things at the same time. Kirk

    Got a boat, Got a Capt., Got lots of questions

    Welcome Bombchelle! A Beneteau Swift Trawler 44' looks like a nice boat with a good floor plan. Great post Phil Fill! My wife, Carrie, and I are hoping to purchase a trawler in the next year or 2. Our only experience so far has been on small deep-v fishing boats. We have spent time in our truck...

    Hello

    Hello from Idaho Cathy & David, Savannah is our favorite southern town. I was there around 1994 for a couple of months. We lived in Dahlonega, Roswell, and Augusta over a period of 10 years. We have been out west for 19 years. I always long for a trip back to Savannah. Welcome! Kirk

    Hand bearing compass choice

    Thanks for the replies. Mahal, I have used the compass on my android phone and I like it. I also use satellite navigation whenever we travel. However, I am partial to more traditional or mechanical equipment (I carry a mechanical pocket watch and shave with a straight razor). I am enjoying...

    Hand bearing compass choice

    Hello, I am new to trawlers and navigation. I am curious about what hand bearing compasses you all prefer. A lot of the ones I have seen are 40-50 dollars (like the Davis pistol-grip). Others are around $125 (like the Plath and Weems puck) Is accuracy an issue on some of the cheaper models...

    At the beginning

    Thanks for all the greetings! We have no plans to move closer to the coast. Luckily, I have a good job with good time off and my wife and I love the drive from The Snake River Canyon to the coast. We have a truck camper and there are plenty of places to visit along the way. Flywright, we are...
