Layout is not only a personal choice but IF you are considering living aboard, then it enters the realms of climate considerations. Most boats are not designed to be a heated live-aboard in northern regions, in which case your decisions to layout must also place a huge consideration on how well...

"It's funny how people without credentials always want to argue about the worthlessness of credentials. You go ahead and hire a burger tosser if it makes you happy. Just don't complain when it bites you in the a.." Could not have said it better myself!

What is TOS... sorry....

So long as you receive no compensation for your "advise", unless you go out of your way maliciously and intent to cause harm can be proven, no way do I see advise freely offered to be "actionable". As for clueless advise, we all know there are plenty of that online and I think you as a...

Maybe the name is scary to some folk..... Not everyone knows that ALL boats are a torture of some sort.... ;)

I've been broadcasting onboard webcams as a way of sharing our surroundings since 2003. As we near our 33rd year as full time liveaboards and decades after living in sunny places, we are waiting to be icebound in Ontario Canada for the 4th wonderful winter season since moving up here, with plans...

Anyone with ideas for simple, self built and installed oil / coolant / tach gauges? (Perkins 6-354M - original gauges suck) Simple engine, have a good alarm system, so I want to keep sending oil press and coolant temp numbers to 2 simple panels and/or even a tablet??? Lots of options I think for...

Lehmans / Mr. Bob Smith!

Pay no never mind to the "geezer" card, LOL, bunch of jealous captains, that's all. Besides, "retirement" is not an exact term. My mate and I "retired" before we made 30. Then we worked our way around the continent running boats and diving commercially. We are still doing it now, (well, for the...

Never underestimate another boater's arrogance or just stupidity, never assume that a sailor is not also motoring notwithstanding the lack of a "steaming" light on his mast, never take your eyes or your radar off of a sailboat in such closed quarters; expect it to jibe into your way! Learn to...

Wish we could turn back the time - let us pray for better days in the USA.

After two decades in the south, we just love the change of seasons now...... :)

With Labour Day gone, the quiet times are upon us in Ontario Canada. Soon all the boaters will be gone, boats hauled and the marina, the bay is all ours. We are the only liveaboards N of Toronto and we are totally self sufficient, although we do take hydro power from the landside...

Thank you. I am passed the time I can edit, I think, so I will ask to have it removed.

Is there no way to edit or delete one's post? I posted twice by mistake, how do I remove one?

Galvanised steel CQR copy from a respected Canadian manufacturer - only down a couple of times; like new. Location: Bobcaygeon, near Lock 32 of the Trent Severn Waterway. Sorry, no delivery south of the border but I can drop it in Toronto...... :) ... $175.00 CAD

For Loopers and those of us up in Canada on the Trent Severn Waterway, here is our new livestream webcam at Lock 32, downtown beautiful Bobcaygeon: CruisingDog WebCam

With all due respect, you need to be more careful regarding where and what you are reading. Moisture metering devices have been employed as a tried and true, accepted instrument in our industry for nearly three decades! (A new devices currently being developed is infrared thermography.) As with...

The one I am referring to is the one in my post, which is the edited version of the original posted by JCDSAIL - do you not see it in my post?

Yes, the keel is hollow unless someone had poured in concrete. There is usually a falso sole over the keel sump. Water ingression is common and if the boat has been in northern climates, then laminate fractures due to winter freeze exacerbate the situation. Someone had already said this and it...

And so it will be at $130K, LOL should be around 75K and maybe they'd get some bites..... :rolleyes:

Nice. Very interesting. I would have two questions though: One trivial; what's with the rope lights in the enginebay? And another deadly serious; I would have to know who designed the bow bulb. At that waterline length, it can be a pitchpoling killer in following seas, even if it was properly...

Here is Wendy, getting better over the years, but I only have time for 15 pics right now...... :flowers:

Ten hours in not an issue if your dog's diet is controlled. Dry kibbles? Like, forget it! Need a lot of dehydration to keep it working. The dog's diet is your answer! The raw diet is ideal, as it has liquids and solids in a perfect proportion. If you can, get the dog going on the B.A.R.F. diet...

Yes indeed, sure is nice.... :)
