Charts distance are standard.. not. The ICW is statue and of shore are Nautical..

In the US we seem to be very sensitive to racism to the point in the housing listing, We don’t have master bedrooms anymore, it’s the primary bedroom. We’re not sure how to refer to a transgender, nor are the Olympics… but this is a transitional phase. Terms will be defined over time to...

I agree with the need for good communication but I’m confused with your over and out comment. Taking on ham/HF OVER implied you stopped talking an d was standing by to receive while OUT implied you had completed your conversation. OVER and OUT means your completed your final comment and the...

Having lived in Southern California, 6 miles inland without a/c in the house I’ve had issues with electrical outlets corroding, fixtures corroding and electrical panel CB corrosion.. same thing in So Florida, though in south FL I had A/C. All the boats I’ve had required regularly maintenance...

Reminds me of my old Chrysler, left side both axle nuts were left hand tread. My twin Yamaha has counter rotating props but are right hand. Good luck

Paper charts are great for overall planning, not necessarily detail such as shifting sands. Think in line of printers vs electrical documents. Each has its advantages

There are taxes for boats in Georgia more than just registration. Friend had his 29’ boat in a inclosed storage unit north of Atlanta and found a impound lock on trailer for failure to pay personal property tax on $100,000 boat. More than $1,,000. For boats (or any personal property...

Totally agree with his statements? ?

Here’s a website that may help you but learn why sometimes a product is built for marine use. AC Residential is different than Marine AC. This may help you understand why it should be Marine Inverter. Maybe a sign when using inverter : “ No swimming within 100’ Dangerous Electrical...

Probably meant to say Billionaire’s

Same Harbor different rock... rocks 2 boats 0

Here us a Nordhaven for crossing. Adding windows protection covers for crossing among other things. On some if ny boats I’ve glassed in forward windows and replacement panel windows with port hole windows to handle breaking waves in inlets. https://youtu.be/dM4NLuNmZOQ

Some example of boats rolling on waves about as big as their beam. https://youtu.be/ENHn2hZ4vmI. https://youtu.be/6dXrLkzuwBc

This couple gas fine tuned long distance ocean crossing. The offer a lot of information on their site. The extensive list of videos is very interesting also. https://youtube.com/user/DashewOffshore

You should not request a bridge opening for items that can be lowered such as outriggers, antennas, Bimini tops etc. Failure to do so can result in fine when an unnecessary opening is done. Of course the bridge tender assumed you would lower your antenna and its not his responsibility...

In the South when the hurricanes are headed towards shore the Big Ships head out too. So how small of a pleasure trawler would the PNW boys head out in 90 kt winds with 30’ breaking waves? ?

I bought a set of Sena on eBay that claimed only one pair worked. Opened up earpiece and found a bad wire. Noted that the battery had its specifications on the battery and were available on Amazon. Very simple to replace if one has a pencil soldering iron. Not like iPhone battery replacement...

My co worker was flying over to Hawaii ( corporate jet) and assisted a pilot needing a communication relay that he was going to ditch. The pilot was ferrying a Cirrus. Many different YouTube posts, here’s one. https://youtu.be/ditPzT-VqVw

They were called that not because of the V tail but because a higher percentage of owners who crashed were doctors because they had the money to buy them but failed to know their limitations.

Maybe you already have these links http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS51.KLWX.html http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/raw/fz/fzus51.kakq.cwf.akq.txt PredictWind app. You mentioned 4’ rollers, with the Chesapeake very shallow think you find mire chop than ocean rollers.

My 2007 Garmin dome radar has tilt but not a separate knob you may be familiar. Not good for finding TRW tops though, more of initial set up.

OP was concerned about basic navigation. Guessing your boat and course you plotted with current charts will be just fine. Just guessing if you look at your wet compass while secured to a fixed dock and take a reading the night before you depart and compare readings the next morning - hopefully...

OP wanted info on a USB GPS connected to iPad. I don’t know any devices this or why you want to. Now this may be an option for a laptop or PC. I have flown around the world on corporate jets utilizing iPads for enroute /approach charts with bad elf GPS. Bad elf can drive to five Bluetooth...

Unsinkable is a good quality To some a 21’ Jon boat would not be a ocean going boat, but this one crossed over to Europe. There’s a 11 part series on Prime Video titled “I Am Second Voyage”. Smallest powerboat crossing the Atlantic. They set a world record. But also hold a record of going...

While Windy may be helpful guidance for some offshore sailing, I haven’t seen any be accurate for predicting winds inside of Hurricanes or Tornados. If it’s forecasted to be blowing 150+ I know my boat isn’t big enough.
