Correction $300.million. Sorry

:banghead:you’re worried about cigarette butts thrown overboard:banghead:How about the millions of gallons of raw sewage coming out of Tijuana river that closes San Diego beaches for miles. Come on!

San Diego gets my vote. Some of the best weather in the country year round. Low humidity, low bugs, not much rain except winter. temperature Generally nice on the coast but can get hot inland in the late summer. No hurricanes.

Was trying to stay away from fins, not only because of maintenance but also crab pots and such.

I’m looking into installing a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer in a new Fleming 65 ( soon to build). Plan to cruise San Diego to Alaska many times in the future as I have done in the past. Has anyone here have experience with gyro stabilizers? Cost is not a factor at this moment. Are they a pain to...

Why? You obviously had problems with your Volvo engine. Would you say that about all Volvo engines? Just curious.

As a kid growing up Chicago , I could eat a Chicago hot dog (Vienna beef) for every meal if my parent’s let me. Instead I got Coco Puffs and a hard boiled egg every morning , the coolest thing about it was watching my father pull out the egg out of the boiling water with his bare fingers. In...

Kapn. I’m somewhat like you in that I still catch myself thinking comic books are 12 cents and Ice cream cones are 15 cents from the 60’s. I now pay $4.50 for one scoop of ice cream. In fact I can’t even find the cent sign on my I pad. I don’t mind paying a premium for MAN parts, I just don’t...

I just talked to Fleming and they said they also have Man 1000hp and Cummins 405hp and maybe able to work with me on other engines. I like the idea of cruising at 10 knots (smelling the roses) it’s economical and the top speed of 18 knots to scoot out of the way of things. I don’t know much...

I didn’t want to muddle the discussion with the boat builder. It’s a Fleming 65. Top speed of 18 knots and I’m thinking a cruising speed of 10 knots. Thanks to all that responded.

I’m very interested in a 65 foot boat that has twin Man i6 800. I know they are made in Germany and are popular with buses and trucking, but that’s as much as I know. How is their parts distribution in the U.S.? Are they slow and expensive like Volvo? Can your average mechanic work on them? I’m...

My memory just kicked in, I tried many years ago to make bread but it turned to be more like burnt hardtack and I was flogged for it.

My wife does a lot thing better than me, she's the Admiral and I just row the boat.---yes dear--

Now a days you can't give peanuts to kids, shouldn't serve eggs or butter because of cholesterol,no eating of beef because cows fart and bad for the planet, bread is bad for you. Fish have mercury and soda makes you fat. Coffee,who knows what it does. Oh well I'll just sit in the bilge and eat...

I'm not into diet fads or low carbs, I'm normal weight and don't have diabetes and 68 yrs. Infact I love my carbs, bagels, rye bread, white bread, French bread,pizza--- All bread. I eat about 10 meals a week with bread. Would love a bread maker if I had a wife that would use it. I buy bread at...

Soon I'll be on my way from San Diego to Vancouver. Which marines in San Francisco do you like the most? Which ports or marines on west cost are "must stop over places". It's been a few year since trawling this way.

https://www.qualitynylonrope.com/blog/difference-between-nylon-and-polyester-rope/ Here is one current answer to nylon vs polyester rope.

As you said the post goes way back. The research paper goes back to 1982. I've had been in the plastics industry for 40 years and a lot has changed. Like night and day. Would like to find current research.

BanbB sounds like a lot of water any idea how much? Maybe with the Admirals boat washing we're about the same!

I'll also be adding a new water filtration system. Any thoughts?

I will be on west coast of Mexico for the next three to five month and I'm wondering about fresh water. I want to plan on staying both on the hook and small/ large marinas. It will be myself, the Admiral and maybe my daughter. I have a 400 gal. Fresh water tank but love using fresh clean water...

psneeld You may have a point. But I use high quality rope both Samson or New England for dock lines and not the Walmart special. As they wear I will use them else where. Just peace of mind at strange docks.

If your Dock queen Any rope will do.:banghead: But if your a traveler only the best lines will do.:socool:

Steve. No dealers in USA -- shame
