They banned me, I requested that the threads be deleted but they ignore me. At least I was able to have the search results in google deleted on my name.
The whole reason I was close to shore is because every thing was failing, this was a decision I made trying save the rigging and sails ... the was an offshore breeze that night and we had up to 30 knots of wind. I based this decision on my experience ......
this is true, I was crew, but was the most experienced on the boat and holding a USCG credential .... if I could turn back time I would have not done this trip on this boat, I should have listened to my gut and told her the boat is not sea worthy ......
I am a delivery captain, several times I have had to tie up to pilings, I bring an 8 foot 2x4, hang the fenders on the side of the boat, then hand the 2x4 on top of the fenders .... allows one to tie up to pilling's with no concerns
I have not figured out the following two things on this boat:
1) how to get the ice maker working? Nothing on the manual for this ....
2) how to pump out overboard? The manual does not relfect on how to do it .....
Any help greatly appreciated.
