Our IG has cement ballast. Over the years water managed to get into it and freezing each year caused some cracking of the ply and fiberglass over it. A couple of years ago I drilled a hole from the outside through the glass at the lowest aft point in the keel until I hit cement and then...

She is. And I still have some. Well, a few.

As to Peggy's comments: ROFL! Keep them coming please. Your knowledgeable participation is edifying, appreciated and entertaining.

Been there too. But the yard did it, not me. Thread here: http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/aaaargh-16482.html

Have the same and mounted the same way. Can receive only 2 channels (with their subchannels) on our home mooring, although we can lose them as the boat swings. Luckily, one of those channels is PBS, about the only one worth watching IMHO. Don't know if a better antenna would be any improvement...

Did the same. Same result. Albeit with a Rocna.

Ditto. Except we have a queen, not a v-berth.

Hauling out tomorrow. Outside storage. Hopefully our, and our neighbors', jackstands hold should Joaguin hit downeast. The season is over for us as well. :cry:

When is this supposed to take place? Will be in western FL (Longboat Key) Jan & Feb. If it's during that time, and if Don supplies the JD, I will make every attempt to make it, even if I have to crawl cross country through alligator infested swamps.

Installed a Fireboy MA2 automatic/manual system in the engine room last year. Alarms at both upper and lower stations. Manual pull at lower station. Fireboy evidently uses HFC-227ea as a replacement for Halon. (MA2 Fire Extinguisher - Fireboy-Xintex), Which reminds me, I need to have an annual...

Yup. Bad news. Almost as bad as polyester mites.

I hear you. A couple of my favorites: Westward and Adix.

Crawling in, under, around, up and down, inside and outside our boats and our sports cars for inspection and maintenance, doing all the "honey do's" my wife has for me daily, maintaining our dirt home, it's systems and yard, playing with the dog and strenuously exercising my elbow at cocktail...

They (and their ilk) are what I would prefer. Quick, easy and no pots or dishes for the designated scullery person (me) to deal with. Unfortunately, my better half won't allow them in the larder. I get to buy and eat them only when I'm aboard by myself for dinner. She likes to cook full meals...

Oh no! Not again! Ground Hog Day, anchor version?

Been there, done that in our Halvorsen. Can be truly scary.

A modern classic anyone? Sterling 43

An excerpt from a Soundings article on the sinking of the original Zopilote: "In 1994, after their circumnavigation and a season of shooting 'The Commish', Kessler was cruising to Alaska’s Prince William Sound on Zopilote and it hit an uncharted seamount at Dixon Entrance, 70 miles west of...

I've always been attracted to Bruce Kessler's "Spirit of Zopilote". We see her often in Buck's Harbor. Appears to be a go anywhere, no nonsense, beauty in function, yet comfortable boat. Her she is behind my beer at the Buck's Harbor Yacht Club floats a couple of years ago. A friend has a...

In our local boatyard today. (A small portion of our boat just visible in the background). A little foggy this morning. An A F Theriault build. Found her online too. Pleasure Boats : Bavaria

Offense, defense, offense, defense, ad infinitum. History endlessly repeating.

Here's another one that may work around and in water. Dunno about salt water. https://www.lily.camera/

That gets my old juices flowing. D Type?

You're in your nostalgia, way back, mode today Don. Sucking me back in time too. Thanks. Any videos or pics of your racing days?
