Posting a picture of the zinc would be helpful.

Still confusled. Does "Winslet" = "Winless" = "Windlass"? If so, what a long way around the bush. Whew!

I/We still want to know what a winslet is. Drawing a blank on this one and, even at my age, I still have a wish to learn.

Me too. However, stainless is not entirely without maintenance, particularly on some Chinese built boats like ours where the quality of the stainless is problematic (more prone to oxidation than the higher quality North American stainless in our Ocean Marine davits)) and our boat has a fair...

The second one. But it wasn't Al's boat. And it didn't have Al or a bottle of JD in it. Just one poor li'l water bottle. Love the T shirt match to his fashionable cap in the first one. Man's got style.

Yes, please don't be like a member of this forum (who will not be named) who has been chastised in the past for his un-stocked reefer. :D

Good work Al!

:D

Caltexflanc, that's looks like a pretty roomy Boston Whaler 130 Sport.

:D

Too many times at high altitude w/o sufficient oxygen? :whistling:

Now there's a tip that I haven't heard before. Thanks. Will have to try it sometime. Does it work with paints as well? If I used green paint, might my wife serve it to me as asparagus in retaliation for using her freezer?

Just bought a used Yamaha 4 stroke, single cyl outboard and a used Avon 9' RIB with the idea that this package would be less weight, easier to haul and shorter on our stern davits for our canal trip this year. (Our usual dinghy is an 11' 4" Achilles with a 15hp Yamaha 2 stroke 2 cyl that we...

No valves on those sight tubes?

Or keep your boat in Maine.

That is truly impressive. Makes my two little 240 watt panels and 11.5 amps best input shrivel to insignificance. Still, with what we have we can run our little Vitrifrigo refrig/freezer 24/7, as well as keep our 680 amp hour battery bank up to snuff w/o using the noisemaker or shore power...

Hope it's designed so the crew don't do "Gerald Ford" head bumps as they move about.

I have seen those type chairs turnbuckled to fittings on the deck. Works okay then I suppose. Not my idea of a good helm chair though.

Depends upon whether it's inside or outside of one I would guess. :D But we might have two 1500 ml bottles of Bourbon (one open), one of vodka, one of rum (both open) and 4-5 bottles of wine.

Okay. Thanks. That gives me a figure. Can live with that.

Hmmm. Will have to sample each bottle and each carton of cancer sticks before we get there then. :)

I am of the old school that grew up with wristwatches as the norm and sort of feel naked without one on my wrist. I use mine to frequently check what the approximate time is (within a minute or two), without expecting it to be atomic clock accurate. I can use my cell phone or whatever for more...

Okay, thanks, we declare, they don't confiscate. Good to know that. But how do we calculate in advance what the duty may be?

Might depend on who you're with up there and what you might be doing? :D

I have been perusing the Canadian government websites as to what amount one can bring in. I understand the duty free limits. But I am confused by the available info as to what happens if I bring in amounts that exceed the duty free limits. If one has excess, does Customs confiscate the...
