    North CA moorage-tax/fees vs. WA State?

    CA or WA We have lived in San Diego, CA and on Whidbey Island in WA but after retirement, sold our house in San Diego and made Whidbey our home. We have lived aboard in San Diego for 4 years in the winter (about 5 or 6 months). Works for us!

    Seattle to San Diego and back

    Forgot to mention we had our Mainship trucked down from the Seattle area. And yes, the outside concerts at Humphrey's are close by and accessible with our dinghy. Sweet life down there!

    Seattle to San Diego and back

    Yes we got a slip fairly easily for our size. We've been at 2 marinas and both have been great. We wanted access to a pool and workout room so we are quite happy where we are. Approximately $1200 a month plus electricity. Send us a private message if you want details.

    Seattle to San Diego and back

    We live on a 41' Mainship Expedition in San Diego - Shelter Island for about 5 months (November to April) and own a home on Whidbey Island in Washington where we live the rest of the time. We usually charter in the summer for a San Juan/Gulf Island trip and have relatives in the Seattle area...

    Looking for rookie stories...

    We have lived aboard in San Diego for two years. We spend 6+ months on Whidbey Island in Washington State. So far, we LOVE living aboard! We purchased a 41' 2009 Mainship Expedition in the Seattle area and had it trucked down here. We had lived on land in San Diego for 10 years but the cost...

    Helmsman Value

    Love the Helmsman trawlers! Wish we could afford one. We bought a Mainship Expedition last year and live aboard in San Diego in the winter. So far, it's been a great decision. After owning several boats over the last 30 years, I am hoping this one will hold it's value.

    Best Weather (dry) and no bugs for 6mo liveaboards

    We live in a house on Whidbey Island in Washington for 6 months (May - October) and San Diego aboard a Mainship 41' for the winter. No bugs and great weather in San Diego! It wasn't too hard to find a marina that would take us as a part-time live-aboard. We did discover that mornings in San...

    Shipping a Monk 36 from San Francisco to Vancouver, BC

    Just had a 41' Mainship trucked from Seattle to San Diego. The boat was too high to get under some bridges in CA so they had to go through Nevada. We went through Associated Boat Transport in Marysville. They did a great job at a reasonable price.

    Mainship Door Lock Assy.

    Mainship Expedition door latches I have two flip latches (top and bottom) on the french door salon doors on my 2009 Mainship Expedition. The top latch works fine but the flip latch/unlatch on the bottom doesn't operate. I can flip it but the post doesn't go into the frame to secure the door...

    Mainship Expedition "summer kitchen"

    Found it! WAY over on the starboard side not on the manifold panel but separate and out of sight. Turns out the water line for the summer kitchen was tied to the windshield washers. Once turned on, the washers flowed like Old Faithful. No wonder the previous owner turned it off! Had a...

    Mainship Expedition "summer kitchen"

    We just bought a 41' 2009 Mainship Expedition with a "summer kitchen" (grill sink and ice maker) on the bridge. We have turned on all the water valves in the boat so they are vertical but aren't getting any water to the sink or ice maker. There is nothing in the manual about the summer...
