Trying to figure out eats for the weekend. Camping in Annapolis Friday till Monday, on the road working. Trying to figure out if we can do the blue crabs now. Not sure what the local deal is during the winter. Either way in town for foosball and good eats over the weekend. Any recommendations...

I have gutted my princess range down to just the oven for new galley countertops. The stove portion is in pieces. I think the only parts of value are the burner coils (240V, not 120), knobs, and cutting board. As usual, all are free, just pay shipping. Also I am doing a trip up 95 this month as...

How accurate are these? I'm not so sure. Both my engines got flagged for x, y, and z earlier this year. Changed oil to mechanics recommended Chevron Delo 100 (had been using the NAPA oil) and took samples 35 hours or so later. Most of that time ran at 1800-1900. Suddenly they are "healed and...

Now I won't have to apologize for what I said when we were docking!:D:D:D

We plan on keeping Esperanza until we simply can no longer use it. That could be a lot of years if we remain lucky. I hear more and more about parts availability being an issue. We have an account set up for the boat and I'm wondering If it makes sense to track down and purchase all the parts...

I know there was an issue with the site a week or 2 ago. When it came back ever since if you click on the random images at the top you get database error page. Been waiting patiently for it to start working but still not. The first thing I do anytime I log on is view the many awesome random...

Not thinking about it, going to add one. Ran the boat inland to get away from the storm to a spot that has no dock power. Something is going on with the pickup on my existing generator where it’s getting air in the Racor and seemingly starving for fuel. Running only one AC was going well until...

Every single time we have a trip some tropical BS flares up. Spring, Summer, doesn't matter. Was just looking a day or so ago and all the X's and storms clearing out and not coming anywhere near us next week. Now theres a dang disturbance coming right at us. We are heading south as it heads...

I have seen many threads on needing to find insurance. I currently need to have 1M liability for our hurricane hole marina. Existing policy wouldn't go that high. Tried an umbrella but apparently I own too many dangerous toys. Was trying the umbrella thing through my commercial business broker...

So on my other thread it was revealed that I actually did have a heat exchanger coil problem going on that needed to be addressed. But then more issues with the salon unit tripping out even though we had raw water flow and the HX coils cleaned. Was it tripping on high pressure?? No. Got a set of...

Can they be replaced? We are suddenly having issues. Definitely not a raw water flow issue. That has been ruled out. Plenty of flow in and out. But the coils are not doing their job. Hot all the way around. I did a rinse on all with 50/50 muriatic acid and water. Lots of green crap came out. But...

I mentioned this in the South Seas thread. South Seas is a good option due to docking arrangement, golf cart availability, and could they use the business. I had later dates but wife changed my mind (😂😂😂) to Labor Day weekend. They are only $2 a foot now due to the situation. We will also be...

Just the marina. They have grills, power, water, access to the beach, and golf cart rentals (to go into town). No pool. Bubble room and a few others are open. They say every week more places are opening up. $2 foot plus electric for now. We are adding this into our trip this month and should be...

Heading on a trip next week that will bring us to Stuart. Any recommendations on fueling up over there? We are headed to Manatee Pocket area.

So, does anyone know if it was in fact closed? We are supposed to pass through on May 24th, 2 days after it is supposed to reopen. Also if anyone knows how difficult is the Old Roosevelt bridge to get an opening. Looked it up on Navionics and the rules look like many reasons not to open.

Recently we got our ER cleaned and painted including engines. Goal besides looking good was to easily see and clean up any leaks of any type. Just cruising around locally slow towing a dinghy a brownish water that is very salt appears in the center bilge port side (dry area). I had seen it...

I’m not really sure what they are called but it’s a weighted mat to step on when boarding. It came with the boat but we never use it so would rather give it a gone. Located in Madeira Beach FL. I travel the east coast a lot so could meet at a highway somewhere. And of course the picture is...

“Opinions” on oil change intervals Yeah, I’m asking for it. Opinions on hours to change oil and on Detroit’s and Onan generators. Capt Dave did the mains every 50 hours. Genny I’m not sure, but probably the same time as he did not anchor out like we do so genny matched hours on the mains. These...

After much work we were able to use our 46 today locally to anchor out and visit our Elks lodge. Now back at home thinking what a grand vessel. So much history. 40 years old and many memories from the day she left the factory. Our 34? Even more memories. Both had lives before we acquired. I’m...

Every picture I ever uploaded is small and if you zoom in it gets blurry. Yet I see other posted pictures that start out larger and nicer. What's the trick?
