You make it sound so cheap Christian. I'm still have the Endeavor but thought I might reach out to my Ericson friends for help with this situation. The Endeavor community isn't as robust or helpful. Even still I'll still respect you all in the morning! I've entered the fifth stage of grief and...

My sounder flew the coop recently and I have a Datamarine DX-104 transducer of unknown provenance as part of the original installation. I'm looking for a Datamarine Corinthian Depth Display in a sort of try-before-you-buy situation so that I can avoid another haul out this season. If it works...

Thank you for the invitation Mort. We will do a trip down to Biscayne Bay this year and if the timing works out and we stop over in Boca I will send you a message. Rick I thought I was a pretty good boater before I started training with Tow Boat U.S. The CG Master class I took for towing...

Thank you! Thank you Tom, I'll definitely be lurking on the forums from time to time because I'm sure I'll have some cross-over questions. I'm sorry we didn't meet up more often Jeff. Good luck on the new boat purchase. I'm sure it will be beautiful. It's nice having something a little larger...

The last six months have been intense for me. In that time I've gotten a 50 ton master license, sold Patriot, moved across the country, gotten married (!), bought another boat, and started work as a professional mariner full time. The new boat, an Endeavor 32 I purchased from the Chapman School...

I'm leaving Los Angeles in a few months to attend school in Key West for a marine engineering degree and I'll be putting Patriot up for sale later this week. As some of you know I took an ugly duckling and, well, didn't make her any prettier but invested lots of time and money into her systems...

Thank you Loren, I'm very familiar with his site. It's an amazing source of information. I never thought to ask him but that's a great idea.

See you there!

My girlfriend and I are planning some big changes for the near future which unfortunately includes selling my boat and pulling up our stakes in Southern California for a couple of years. Each of us has been nurturing a desire to do some cruising and together that dream seems so much more...

Pick up the So Cal guide from Charlie's Charts I caught Captain Holly's presentation on cruising the Channel Islands at the L.A. Boat Show this year. This guide has an incredible amount of information on anchorage conditions, weather, dive spots etc...

The idea was to use snap shackles on the finished product. I like the triangle because it's easy to swing my legs out if I need to get up in a hurry, say, at anchor watch. Most of the support is at the hips and trunk and it doesn't feel claustrophobic.

Best video ever.

I had a triangular shaped piece of duck cloth left over from the riding sail and flopper stopper projects and decided to put it to good use. For the attachment points up top I used coupler nuts and eye bolts on top of the factory nut which holds the cabin top grab rails in place. I only see...

+1 on the Catalina Direct gasket kit. I replaced all the gaskets and rebed the frames with butyl tape and I haven't had a leak since. The frames were originally bed to the hull using closed cell foam tape which has certainly compressed and become useless by now. The previous owner was very...

That's right Jeff, we met last year. I paddled over to Eddie's MacGregor for a bit while you were still on your way over.
