As I have mentioned previously, the Admiral has been selected for a job in Mexico. We will be in Mexico for at least 5 years. Her job is in Mexico City; we are tentatively planning to keep the boat on the Pacific side, probably in Barre de Navidad but the specific location could change depending...

Hello, I remember awhile back seeing someone post pictures and an explanation of how they built ductwork over cruiseair output vent on their stern salon AC unit. I think the intent was to repipe the airflow so that they could either have it come into salon, go out through the wall into stern...

Well, I am officially convinced that PropSpeed antifouling for metal works! We applied it to our shafts in the spring of 2005.

Had an interesting weekend. We spent a couple night anchored in oyster bay. It was fun for the first day... I dove the boat. Never saw so many barnacles. The 2"prop shafts were 4+ inches in diameter all the way from the prop to the point where they enter the boat. Props were also covered...
