Making the mounting pad for our windlass today. Then we have to get a support bracket made (might do myself out of plywood and fiberglass or may have to pay to get it fabbed out of stainless or aluminum), then backing plates (two) then the windlass will be installed! View

    I have heard people call boats a lot of things.  “A boat is a hole in the water where you throw your money” is one of my favorites, but I would like to posit another.  A boat is an emotional bank.  You […]

    True Love points South and with the wind SW in Commencement bay, this was the first time at the marina with a stiff beam wind blowing me on the dock. I had to put out my big fenders as I was bumping the dock as […]

    Dylan Lippert commented on the blog post Burning Questions | Hey dude, that’s my anchoring spot 9 months, 1 week ago

    I definetly agree that it is in bad form and possibly dangerous to hold a spot with a dinghy. I have often noticed this practice and have observed boaters setting anchor close to the dinghy (as in comments above on can anchor outside the dinghy’s swing) and were quite surprised when a 50 foot trawler [...]
