Re: Our new to us boat is in the yard

Hey there! I hope you will enjoy and care for Serenity for many years to come! I was cleaning out a room in my house and I ran across an asymmetrical spinnaker for the ole girl; I didn't list it in the ad because I could never find it. I'll try to ship it out to you this week; spinnakers are fun!

Re: Suzuki DF50 corrosion

Same problem here. Couldn't clean out the old threads enough to get a new one in. The new one went part way in and snapped. Plugged another new sensor into the harness and tucked in in behind everything else. Problem solved ? :?

Re: Miami to Bimini--Advice/tips???

I am planning on sailing my Mac 26M from Miami to Bimini on May 25 and back on May 30. Does anyone have any advice or tips on such an adventure? Stay in North Bimini. South Bimini has some really nasty problems with the no-see-ums biting at dusk and dawn and the nets don't seem to stop 'em. North B...

Re: New Glass2 on Knot Shore

Bleche-Wite tire cleaner will take the polyglow off with a little brushing. I made the mistake of using that hiders crap on my Serenity and was not happy at all with it after the first month ... ***EDIT*** Even eaiser, but more expensive, way to remove all traces of poliglow-- WD40 and a bunch of ra...

Re: Florida to the Bahamas. The plan...

I'm game for the Bahamas or Tortuga. Have made the crossing to Bimini and back once back in 2009. It's no big deal as long as your smart and go with a group for safety. The Conch Cruisers are still there but not really active. The group I went with is the last group from the Conch's board that got t...

Re: Cabin steps addition to Billy's AC mod

Who is this Billy and how do I get him to build me one ? I've been trying to figure this out on my own all year but I guess I really should just ask!! Does anyone have a pattern for this that I could cut myself ?

Thanks,

Re: East Lake Toho new arrival with questions

Herschel,

You wouldn't happen to have VHF on your boat would you ?

I just replaced my antenna and need to test it but that requires someone else at a given distance on VHF, too.... Can you help me ou ?

Re: East Lake Toho new arrival with questions

Welcome to Saint Cloud! I used to have a slip in there for my :macx: , too. Odd, that Diana lady kept telling me there were no slips available-- must be she's still friends with my ex-wife :? You can get fuel straight across the lake at the East Lake Fish Camp; just aim for the 2 trees that stick up...

Re: Suzuki Outboard DF50

The bottom one in the photo drains the cowl so water doesn't pool around the engine should it get in there somehow. The upper one is the water 'pee hole' which should spray water when the motor is running. If it's not, pop the cap off and wash it out or blow it out (when you pop the cap off and the ...

So long, it's been fun!

Despite being able to keep the boat, the wife and attorney made sure the judge ordered me to pay the ex-wife what is coincidentally that exact value that she placed on the boat in her testimony.
