Hi Jp, It is easy to miss, as it can be somewhat confusing. You see, it's held in August at Thetis Island, in Canada, which is geographically speaking in her Pacific South West. So you see how confusing this can be? Glad to help clear things up :) Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 e

I've had 2 Raymarine products. Both were junk. The first product was 4000+ autopilot. On matter they or I did it would not steer a straight course. The unit was rated for a 16000 lbs boat. It was installed on a Pearson 28, well below the displacement limit. Product #2 is a st40 wind instrument.

Steve - Marinas aren't cheap down here. They've figured out that gringos will pay SanDiego prices, and electricity and water are meteredand extra. And many good anchorages are now filled with mooring balls, and even if you don't trust the mooring ball and use your own hook, you pay to anchor.
