If anyone wants a folding bike, I've loved my Bazooka bike, which is a
full size bike (big wheels, big frame) which folds down and can be
stowed in it's own bag either on deck or down below.
I've had mine for about 6 years and it's been great. So far this
year, I've got about 1000kms on it and i
Danny,
Keep the anchor dry...Vineyard Haven moorings are always available. Traffic
is tough on bikes...1, 3 or 7 day bus passes are cheap. Make sure you see
the whole island...lots of variety.

We put two full-sized bikes on board (tied to the shrouds) for our tour of
the Long Island vineyards (and other attractions) earlier this summer. It
worked well, just had to be a little more careful of snags when tacking.
We anchored in Lake Tashmoo on MV a couple of years ago - about a 15 minute
I bought a windlass and an autopilot early this spring and never got around to
installing them...it is killing to know thw warranty on both are just running
out with no use...
Thanks for the advice! For some reason the admiral is not keen on the whole
cuttyhunk thing...she heard some people at
I have 120' of chain and wish I had more, largely because I don't
have an elegant way to switch from chain to rode on my windlass. When
I come into a deep anchorage I'll circle around for ages to try to
find a spot with less than 30' depth so I can anchor with chain only.
I had to anchor in 70'
Mine's 66lbs (Bruce) and I've pulled it up by hand in shallow water
(20 feet or less), but only because the windlass solenoid had pooched
on me. For normal use though, you really need a windlass with a hook
that big.

Sailing on the US west coast and around the Pacific has spoiled me. I get
nervous if the depth drops below 30'. Puget Sound is often 300' to 600' deep.
In the San Juan's and BC waters there are many places you could sail up to a
cliff and be in 100' of water.
I read and look at pictures of t

Calypso displaces 24,000 with a significant windage (70' mast roller furling,
mainsail cover, dodger etc.). The lovely Mrs. Calypso really likes to sleep
all night. I believe the ONE time we got blown out of an anchorage stuck with
her. (Tonga, 2AM squall, different boat)

Can yoiu pull that up by hand.
Is it possible to use float and ring to pull up your anchor on a sailboat, or
do you need more speed for that to work?

On of the better books about anchors and anchoring is written by Earl Hinz;
"The Complete Book of Anchoring and Mooring". Great winter reading.
I have used several of his techniques over the years with great success. That

Thanks. This was a great help. Had to take off the auto helm post and also take
the engine end clamp off the transmission and was the able to pull both cables
up one side of the steering wheel shaft to get the clamp off. Pulled the new
throttle cable through with the old and reversed the process
Just remember that the clamp inside the pedestal holds both the throttle AND
the transmission cables on two-control systems; and in the case of my boat,
above the clamp the two cables go around either side of the steering shaft, so
you have to pull the pedestal to get the cables out the bottom.
Yup. Look for it. Removing and replacing the cable with the clamp is doable
with a bit of effort.

Is there a cable clamp deep inside the pedestal?
And is there a way to get to that clamp without dismantling the steering cables
and removing the wheel mechanism?

The winds in a category one hurricane won’t do that much. Where I live in
Southeast Florida, some people don’t even board up their homes unless it looks
like the eye is coming right at them.
I saw plenty of boats that survived category one conditions in 2004-5 without
any preparation at all.
Yes, it will; but it seems like after every storm, a YouTube video gets posted,
showing some dope's boat flying full canvas and an unfurled genoa that ripped
loose from its mooring, careening through an anchorage wiping out boats that
were properly prepared... :^(

Basic storm preparation will go a good way towards saving one's boat. At least

I'm always looking for tips! I read alot about the anchor and I know it can be

I don't plan to do too much anchoring the first time out. It is kind of an off

I saw several responses regarding the charts but none about your anchor choice.
Do you have any questions about the best anchoring set-ups and strategies,
especially for that cruising area?

Some people seem to think that if they have an insurance policy then they are
relieved of all responsibility for reasonable and
prudent precaution.
It is an attitude that needs to be discouraged.

It's amazing. Decades ago, nobody knew a storm was approaching until the last
minute. Now we monitor all the storm data them by the minute.
Here's a site that has live streaming videos from storm chasers out and about
in Isaac.

Greetings from the South shore of of Lake Pontchartrain. On Sunday, I vacated

Ditto. I swap ends also. Touche's normal dock lines use the eyes on the boat's

and are cleated on the boat with figure eights to allow for adjusting.
Crazy as it seems, there are people that cruise the bayou i
Dennis, good luck. I feel for you - we did what Joe did when Isabel came up the
Bay. But, we expected more wind than we got and moved most of the boats in the
marina (small ones came out) and tied them facing the expected wind. Mine was

During Isabel some idiots left lines tied to cleats bolted to the dock planks.
Of course the surge pulled the planks right off the dock :(
I - having learned from Hurricane David the hard way - didn't use my normal
dock lines with spliced loops. For Isabel I was able to let the lines in and
