Re: Annapolis Boat Show-April 28 – 30, 2017
Hey Walter, We have now moved from MS and are now living in DE. We are only 1 1/2 hours from Annapolis so if you guys decide to go just let me know and I can help you with accommodations if you want. Sure would be nice to see someone from the old NC group again. Hey Vic, Bob, Eric, any of you guys g...

Re: Real rescue with 26X
I think I wrote this up for the Board once, but it won't hurt to do it again. I used to keep my Lifesling II ready for quick deployment until I figured out you can only throw it about 30 feet. 6 knots is 10 feet per second, so if you can't deploy in under 3 seconds you won't get the LS-II to the PO...

Re: Charleston, SC Advice Wanted
I have sailed with VK Maynard and you can leave your truck and trailer there for the whole weekend. It is a great place to sail with lots of history and touristy things ashore for entertainment.

Re: Still sanding
Try hiring a high school kid that needs to make some extra money for the prom. That would definitely be less labor intensive for you.

Re: Gas Can Question
Boat, I have the same problem with mine also. :x I am here to tell you that there is a solution to your problem. :wink: I learned that if I only fill my 12 gallon tank with 6 gallons, then healing (leaning) the gas does not leak out of the caps.
