Not certain if sarcastic or not....but I'll go on record that North-Up simply suits the way my mind works. I had a shift prior this last run...
I like this route as well. Only traveled it once, but it would likely be my return path if making the trip again. But that's coming off the east...
Glad that you stepped down. No need for being on top of that soap box to begin with, as in doing so you're not much better than those with the...
The use of 5200 is pretty much a no-brainer. In addition, thinning the first coat of an epoxy complete with a light application is a very good...
The rough finish on your surface could be old paint, but it could also simply be a lack of sanding between early coats. The first coats will...
In addition, the run and planned stop in Key West gives you a lot of time to shake the boat out, confirm your burns and speeds, and to play with...

You ask the questions, and I'll likely give you the answers. I know these boats almost as well as Burger. Your windlass is an Ideal, and there's...
Keep me posted with your timing if headed off shore. I'm in Sag Harbor right now, and I'll be headed out around Montauk around 10/20 and headed...
Your cruise is 10 knots. Enjoy it. 11 is available without stress, but the fuel begins to burn exponentially, and the engines feel the effort....
They'd have a tremendous little run buying back their fleet from the 60's and 70's, refitting them to modern spec, and re-issuing hull numbers....
If the Smart Y is Charles, it will ONLY work if both legs of 50 are in phase. The Hubbell will work on one leg, and if the phasing is wrong on...
Very, very similar to the Burger that got me hooked, a 65' 1963, originally Flying Tiger. [ATTACH]
Don't accept this process as legal advice. You'll want help in preparation of the MOA, any Affidavits for the entity such as approval to enter...
You need a Registered Agent located in Delaware as the agent of record for the entity (such as LLC). YOU can still manage the entity, essentially...
