Hi Pascal. Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely look into temp sensors for the ACs. I am always worried about the sea water pump...
Thanks for the response. The SENA and Eartec are the two that look good on a search. I like the idea of a headset vs handset when docking and...
Well, we have a 50 ft Viking Princess that I put about 2500 hours on going from the Chesapeake to Florida and back 4 round trips and maybe 25 or...
We just took ownership of a 2006 68 ft Viking Princess. The boat is near immaculate as it was a great lakes fresh water boat most of its life...
I’m a little late to this discussion, but I have thought about this quite a bit and looking to our next step up it comes up again. There are some...
I was not endorsing his use of a bow thruster while under way - I assumed that experienced captains such as yourself would know that. I was...
While the waves seem to be pushing the boat around more than I would like for a 63 ft boat, I think the main problem is he is doing a horrible job...
I agree very much with your sentiment, we use to cruise all up and down the east coast and Bahamas on plane. Now, I do all of my cruising at 7...
Well I guess there is always some risk when you leave a boat unattended in the Bahamas. I have done it several times (7-8 times) in Marsh Harbor,...
It sounds like Exuma Yacht Club is not an option for a 1-2 week stay. Cave Cay is just too far unless you have a plane. So Emerald Bay seems the...
Cave Cay marina is nice and clean, but as you say, there is nothing there. Maybe we spend a night there - can we get from Rudder Cut Cay to the...
I dont have my charts with me - which anchorages at Lee Stocking are accessible and protected? Do the protected looking coves on the west side...
Have not given previous thought to a water maker as our current boat is 50 ft and space is limited, but I could do something in the lazerette. We...
Pascal thanks for providing such nice, useful Exumas information. I am planning this summers trips. We plan a few weeks in the Southern Exumas,...
In addition to the above advice regarding state permits and federal pelagic fish permits. Yes we often fish while island hopping for tuna wahoo...
Pascal, are you sure about what you are saying about Galliot cut? My Explorer charts and Exumas guide both warn about Galliot being similar to...
Pascal you were definitely right about Rudder Cut Cay. Highlight of the trip - anchored multiple nights solo in the large cove around the point...
I have a 50 ft Viking Sport Cruiser flybridge with a 15 ft beam. We carry an 11 ft 6 in Achilles with a 30 hp Tohatsu and a Euro helm. I chose...
That looks very similar to my Icom. Icom is an excellent product. Mine is now about 14 years old and still works perfect and holds a charge for...
I guess without being explicit, my implication was that he should expand his search - while the Ferretti is a very nice boat, there are other...
