Hillsmere Pond Hi, Christian- I just came back from walking my dog along Hillsmere Pond, or "Lake Hillsmere" as it's now known. Frozen solid but pretty as ever. You've always sounded like a Chesapeake sailor to me and I have to remind myself you're on the other coast :-)

Video Stills Hi, Loren. I was able to stop the video to see a the attachment points in more detail. Coupled with a re-reading of the manual, I think I have it figured out. It's pretty simple really but I initially found a box full of parts a bit confusing. I will document my installation as...

You Tube Thanks, Stefan. I'll search for the videos today. I had already contacted the manufacturer and obtained the latest manuals but the product documentation lacks some detail. Though after reading the install manual a couple of times, it's starting to make sense to me. I'll definitely...

Hi, Loren, yes that's the product. As you can see from the web site, the pictures are not very close or detailed. If you know of anyone who has one I'd love to pick their brain. Thanks!

I've just purchased a used Dinghy Tow system for our boat. It's an alternative to davits which tows the the dinghy backwards while raising the stern out of the water. The seller included installation instructions and a jumble of parts with no parts diagram. It would be tremendously helpful to...

Aluminum Bolts Edson uses aluminum bolts and nuts on their pedestals to avoid corrosion. Those bolts are available for purchase from Edson and fit the Yachting Specialties pedestal. I had a new pedestal base cast for my boat and used stainless bolts for the install and was shocked to find...

Aeropress Hi Alan- The process you describe for easy brewing is identical to the Aeropress process, only the filters are smaller and cheaper than cone filters, thus less trash. We brew a concentrated coffee into one mug, split it with another mug and fill both mugs with hot water for two...

BVI Yacht Charters We've used Sunsail, which worked out well. More recently we went with BVI Yacht Charters also out of Roadtown. Good service, brand new boat, reasonable rates.

Aeropress +1 We REALLY love our aeropress. With all due respect to fellow Ericsonian coffee lovers, we've tried just about everything on our boat and Aeropress wins hands down. Great coffee, easy to use, minimal filters and mess.
