  1. Canada and the United States have the best Coast Guards, bar none. During storms and emergencies they are they to help us. Canada and the United States' men and women of the Coast Guard train and work together in bordering waters, and they back-up each other in times of emergency. May God bless and protect each and every one of you, and your families over this Christmas season and the coming new year, regardless of race, religion and political belief . . . as you have taken care of us. Thank you and safe boating to all
  2. Actually, it's NMEA, not NEMA! CudjoeDon THANKS It's just ben one of those days . . . bet I even mispelled my name
  3. Had exactly the same result . . . seems that if there is not a great big commission and next to no work required, most brokers are non-responsive and unwilling to do any work. On the other side, I do not know what percentage of buyers are serious or not. Either way brokers are not responding if the boat is less than $100K or more . . . that is my experience during the last 18 months or so
  4. Was down in Virginia Beach over 2 weeks ago and spent a week helping Dale who is doing the electronic install - - - I then came back to Canada and dale continued working on the elctronics making sure everything was working great For those who do not rememeber it is Furuno NavNet3 system - - - one 12 inch display - - - one 8 inch display - - - digital fish finder black box - - - 12 kw radar - - - AIS system - - - Sirus weather - - - two Icom M604 VHF - - - auto pilot - - - new 23 ft antennas - - - a couple of other minor gadgets - - - and then I reached my electronics maximum budget for a few / many months - - - time to get fishing We decided to go the entire DEMA 2000 route and not 183 . . . so there was a learning curve Well I just talked to Dale and everything seems to be working - - - just a few minor glitches (talking to Furuno) and trying to connect to an older transducer until I haukl the boat and get a new transducer Hope to move the boat down to Pirates Cove this weekend Yes we took pics of the install . . . and will take more pics this weekend . . . and will post the entire trip

  6. Power Yacht was kind enough to send me this picture of an 38 footer like mine that he saw in Malta . . . there were only 13 made While I do not like what the owner did to the aft bulkhead of the salon, we all have different tastes, it is interesting to see that (i) flybridge has remained the same (ii) the blue color is like the color combination we saw of Chevy products (the Corvette and the Belair for example of the early sixties) Thanks Power Yacht for sending the picture
