Re: Stus-List Could this happen at your yacht club?

Definitely not here in Vermont. I've heard that gators won't eat sailors because they're too tough, that they focus on mega-powerboat folks, who are said to be more tender. Ed On Jul 28, 2016, at 12:00 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > From: "Dennis C." > Date: July 28, 2016 11:49:13

Re: Stus-List Could this happen at your yacht club?

Nope - too cold in the winter here for gators. We have pelicans this year and a stray manatee or two sometimes, but they usually vacate the area and head south for the winter. AFAIK gators are not that mobile. Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com Coquina F

Dennis maybe that's the same gator that was in the water in that photo of Touche' you posted a while back :) Nothing like that at my yacht club. Though we do have a family of beavers living in the marina. Fortunately they are not chewing down trees and building dams across the channels :) Ch

See ya later alligator. In a while, crocodile. There is often an alligator in a pond in a dog walking area in front of the marina where I bought and keep a boat on Merritt Island, FL. Good idea to keep your toy poodle away from the edge. At least most of the people there are savvy enough abo

No Gators here - but whales. That's what we are seeing. Never seen so many, so close as this year. And well inside San Francisco Bay. Can't think of a more beautiful sight: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Humpback-whale-sightings-in-San-Francisco-Bay-7463063.php On Thu, Jul 28, 2016 at

There have been dolphin as far north as Annapolis, but I've only seen photos. The 2 most dangerous creatures around here are sea nettles and drunk powerboaters. Joel On Thu, Jul 28, 2016 at 2:24 PM, Ian Matthew via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > No Gators here - but whales. That's

Stus-List Cabin sole screws

Stus-List Cockpit Shower on 30 mkII

30 mkII owners...do you have a cockpit shower? I would like to put one in the aft cockpit locker on the stbd side (next to the helm seat). I am planning something on the cheaper side (white plastic RV type?), that I would mount inside the locker (I.e. not cut a hole in the fiberglass) and just open

I made one from a 2.5 gallon garden sprayer and a kitchen sink spray nozzle for my previous boat. Just pump it up and spray. Maybe that would work for you instead of a more permanent one. Dennis C. On Thu, Jul 28, 2016 at 2:41 PM, Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > 3

Re: Stus-List Cockpit Shower on 30 mkII

I mounted a hot/cold shower on the outside of the starboard locker in place of the ac receptacle which I moved to the starboard coaming where it's easier to plug in the shore power cord. It's out of the way under the helm seat, but when you come back from a swim and climb the stern ladder it's rig

Re: Stus-List Could this happen at your yacht club?

Locals in Florida know you do not swim in freshwater anywhere, except for shallow springs where you go tubing. Alligators are everywhere.  If you go to Shark Valley in Everglades National Park, you can find dozens of them sunbathing along the 17-mile bike path. Most will let you stand nearby so

One of our young engineers claimed to see one at our impoundment in So. IL called Rend lake.  He got laughed at quite a bit and earned the nickname "gator."Some months later a ranger saw it; a 3 footer.  Don't know if they caught it or just let it die during the winter.Probably a pet release.He
