we'll see if Hermine pees in my soup, anybody know a good tie-up restaurant on the west shore (say between bay bridge and Baltimore). That usually persuades my crew to get out and sail. I saw a bunch in Magothy on google.

we hope to be in Rock Hall this weekend. the forecast just changed from sunny to 30% chance of rain, so I need to hide that from the admiral :^) Probably not more than daysails but RH does have bars!

still on the hard and another 2 weeks at least, y'all have fun.

There are two E27's in my marina in rock hall (including me :^)

Right now we are on the hard in Rock Hall but should be in the water 2-3 weeks. Maybe on your way back?

Every time I open one of the storage areas that open to the inside of the hull I see a lot of red dust. I finally got a good look when I removed the galley cabinet to re-do the AC wiring. It looks like there was some sort of foam-backed vinyl covering the inside of the hull and the foam has...

When I did a mast-re-wire, the best method I found was to connect a messenger line (1/8 line works well) to every wire that comes out of the mast and make sure they are all long enough to reach the mast base. Then you gently (or violently, depending on your conduits) remove the wiring through...

you should check out Catalina Direct (https://www.catalinadirect.com), used them a lot when I had Catalina. They carry a lot of Universal parts

long first account SO, we've had our new (to us) E27 for a few months now, had a few sails and scrubbed the inside pretty good. It was time to move to a new marina, the one she was in when I bought her being mostly a wedding venue with a porta-potty for the boat owners and no facilities for the...

I actually made it to Galesville with the kids a few weeks back. Other than my horrible docking (missed the slip, had to park at the end f the dock and do the walk of shame :^), we had a great time at Pirate's Cove. I think Rock Hall is next.

the admiral has vertigo and gets easily seasick. Her solution is "steer or sleep". If she steers she is OK, if the sleeps she is OK. Otherwise it depends on conditions. I grew up on/near the sea and nothing made me seasick until I started diving off North Carolina. A few long boat rides at...

Before we move our E27 to NJ, I wanted to do a day sail from where it's at (Kent Island). I know that are a is full of destinations but I'm not sure if I want to brave downtown Annapolis on a new boat on a weekend. Some less-hectic place with tie-up and eat restaurant or dock would be great...

first sail in new boat the new crew may just work out

Enjoy your new boat. We just ought a E27 at Kent Island and it is moving to NJ as soon as I can figure out how. Sounds like we'll be crossing each other!

thanks all for the welcome. @kari, it was strange. I found the grop and asked to join. since I was granted, the page has disappeared. @willy, how is Forked River? I am new to the area and picked Tom's River because it was the most reasonable drive (~1.5hrs) to a cheaper marina. Any...
