    EV discussion - hate or love?

    It absolutely is an EV issue. Everyone on here is quick to point out stats about market demand and production output, gross revenue sales etc. but when you have large manufacturers essentially building bridges to nowhere doesn't that falsify the stats?? I just found it interesting and...

    Another easy and cheap way is to buy a ground loop isolator off Amazon.

    Audio Hiss

    This is usually due to ground loop. I forgot the best ways to fix on a boat, but essentially your stereo is not grounded properly. I know a lot of guys install a ground bus, but I would start with your ground wire on the back of the stereo. Also, maybe search on Youtube for eliminating a...

    @Murf'n'surf What's the difference between Skytrak and Skytrak +?? I see the Skytrak is on sale right now for $995, but the Skytak + is $2,995? I can't seem to figure out why the plus is so much better or more expensive I should say

    Got the pics of the pigs in Exumas from my buddy yesterday. Crazy.

    We hit 9 knots in that 46’ Lagoon in a beam reach with 20-23 knt winds. I tell ya though when those gusts hit with no reefs and you start eyeing that table of wind speeds and reefing wind speeds your ass puckers a little. I think the boat we had said reef 1 on the main sail at 25 knt winds...

    Inground Pool

    You know it. If I had water like you guys have access too I would. It's just not practical where we live. So I'm relegated to renting someone else's yacht....which is fine for now. Lukily I have a good friend network that love bareboat charters. My buddy that I co-skippered that Cat with in...

    Inground Pool

    Thinking about getting a few inground concrete pool quotes. Who on here has one and what do you think? Do you use it much? Can you give me approx. costs you paid? I've heard there is a large bell curve with pool use. You use it a lot in the beginning and then usage falls off quite a bit.

    Are you going to get a code zero? I found that the 46 Lagoon we had with the self tacking jib had horrible down wind performance. We really needed a code zero but it did not come with one.

    Another carbon monoxide death

    I wonder what the CO levels are in a cove with a bunch of big boats tied up all running their generators? You'd think people would be dropping like flies if this was the case. I mean I've seen a shit load of big boats tied up in party cove with everyone floating in the water and they all have...

    You guys would be really loosing your shit in my neighborhood then. After that big hail storm the roofing and car hail repair door knockers were out of control. Sometimes 6 a day. Then a lull. Then the roofing starts, and a second round of door knockers. The no soliciting signs have no effect.

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    We picked up this hybrid Volvo May 31. This screen shot is the current gas range. We haven’t put gas in this car since picking it up. The EV range is low currently cause we plugged it in late yesterday. Her commute is roughly 34 miles round trip. So a full charge gets her there and back. Based...

    Downloaded some of the drone footage I took. One of the coolest moorings was Warderick Wells. We had nurse sharks constantly swimming by looking for hand outs and scraps. There was a pretty wicked current in this mooring field. If you jumped in you'd better have fins on or be ready to swim...

    Not much care involved. It did cause the main halyard to curl around the upper shroud attachment point one time which meant we spent around 30 minutes trying to unloop it off, so I wouldn't recommend it!!
