Come on by Moss Landing Sven, I highly recommend a stop off in Stillwater Cove. The Elkhorn Yacht Club has a cruisers group go down there once a year. My wife and I will be racing our 1981 E38 Lela Margariete this weekend in a local Double Angle Regatta. The finish is in Moss Landing and the...

Combi Unit Stuff Harold, I might be interested in your combi unit stuff. I have a 81' E38 with the original combi instrumentation. The sounder has been on the fritz and I was just logging on to do a little research. Do you have a working wind instrument for the combi? What year is your E38...

Paths have crossed (I tried to post this on your blog but found it much simpler here) Mark and Vicki, I'm almost certain that we crossed paths on your way down to Stillwater Cove. My girlfriend and I were sailing north bound from a great Labor Day weekend 2009 with a group from the Elk Horn...

We think we found our un-invited guests If you are noticing these tiny brown bugs....(This guy is under a microscope, actual size is < 4mm) They feed on mold, mildew, and other nasty things. They are pretty harmless but gross non the less. Here is more about them...

He did do a tap test on the deck but no fancy tools were used just a mallet. Some of you Northern California people might no the name, Joseph Rodgers. He...

Does anyone have any experience with these moisture meters or what type to purchase. I have looked online at about a dozen ranging from $100 - $500 and they all claim to do the same thing. This seems like a great investment as I have a few other questionable spots that I don't want to drill into...

What is involved in metering the area for moisture? Is this simply the process of checking the core to be solid? I do want to make sure that these cleats are very secure.

I'm not sure what or who a real Rube Goldberg is but I really like the double bow roller setup. The posts and chocks have been used to guide the rode onto the cleat. The pins also have a section of pvc tube that goes over them to act as a guide roller when deploying either anchor. I...

I got the photos working.....I think Here are a few more
