... so they took one of ours :esad: Little did they realize it was the one that got banged up and was a real bear to adjust because it was no longer round :egrin: Oh well. For 1/10th of a second we considered the possibility that it came loose on its own and just blew away during the...

I read an article in the Daily Breeze this morning about a search being called off for a missing sailor. I looked into it a little more and found out it was one of our sailors from Pacific Singlehanded Sailing Association. Thomas Kirschbaum is the owner of a 26' Int'l Folkboat "Feral"...

After sitting for about 2 years with diesel fuel biocide and additives, I hired a diesel mechanic for preventive maintenance which included: Adjust the valves, check the injectors and generally inspect the motor. Afterwards, the motor in neutral spins to 2,900 rpm but only 2,200 under load...

I just heard from a man who lives aboard his boat on B dock at Cabrillo Marina that his two neighbors lost their boats at the West End on Sunday. Both boats were at Catalina Harbor for the weekend and left Sunday afternoon. One boat - a Fuji 32 I think he said - lost power and the woman...

Hi there. Haven't been posting for several months, mainly because I go through phases on the internet, and this has been my "I am tired of B-boards" phase. But also because I have been busy procrastinating on boat chores, and sometimes actually accomplishing some of them. The one that turned...

Hi All, We were out yesterday sailing & on the way home I glanced at the engine panel to check RPM, temp, oil pressure and charging. I did a double take because at first I noticed the tach reading only 5000 rpm, then I noticed all of the other gauges were dead. Silly me - I thought well...

Just a quick email to say I have returned from a fantastic trip up in the San Juans and Gulf Islands. This may be better suited for the for sale/wanted section, but the bridle ripped off my zodiac sending it and my new 15 hp engine off in the abyss. We were sailing across the Straits between...

Those handheld Gps I'm interested in a GPSHandheld, last Fall a review was done of GPS handhelds, by Practical-sailor. In summary, does anyone know which of "those" handheld "mappers", B/w or color are better in daylight or sunlight?? The article's conclusions? I currently subscribe, but...
