How old is the boat? Chances are that windlass is no longer available. Just fill the old holes with epoxy, drilling new ones is no big deal and...
fuel has gone down a bit but retailers can’t lower the prices until they sell what they have bought at higher prices. Not an issue for land based...
I was aware of the 6 year replacement recommendation but not testing every two years. Sound a bit extreme... hard to believe Cat can’t make...
Cat had an issue on the original C32 aftercooler design and came up with a redesign. I ve been running a 2009 84 Lazzara with C32s for almost 4...
The death rate is not 2%!!! A few studies have been done here in the US showing far higher infection rates with people showing little or no...
Turning the Tide is a must read for anyone who loves the Exumas.
I m sure it goes on but the show focuses too much on the drama queen episodes just like BD focus on the crew drama.

They re up 50 cases (positives) and 9 deaths I believe. Almost all in New Providence except a handful in Grand Bahama. Also one death in BIM and...
I hate the words “trade wars”. Standing up for your country, for your economy, for your workers isn’t a war. We can’t accept that our goods get...
