Cruisers in Annapolis area
Hi all,
I am interested in meeting up to crew on daytrips or short 2-3 day sails. Experience is with warm water sailing, but would like to make new friends and meet people in the area.

Hi Kirsten, I'm not in the Annapolis area, but at the head of the Chesapeake Bay. I just hauled my boat yesterday and winterizing it now. I do sail in Annapolis and belong to a yacht club. During the season the season. I'm all over the Bay. My boat is a Gemini Catamaran. 34'. She is overloaded to even the Direct Tv. Drop me a line sometime and still interested, think of me in the spring.

HI Joe,
Thanks for your reply. Think of you in the spring? Somewhere in the world it's warm. I'd love to hear more about your boat. Annapolis just because it is probably the closest point on the bay to where I am. I get down to Solomon's sometimes, and when I really need a fix, I'll head in my car back to where I used to live in DE- Lewes Cape Henlopen. Thinking of heading way south after Christmas for a week or so.

As you took notice of the sump below the engine does not drain to the bilge. My understanding is that it's designed that way so as to prevent…"
Bruce Bogdanoff replied to Christopher Gaver's discussion Single bilge pump and standing water in engine compartment in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"The boat has two bilge pumps, one electric and one manual. On my 40, I replaced the original pump with a Rule 2000 and a check valve. The original pump would always lose its prime. The engine bilge does not drain into the main bilge in case of an…"

Single bilge pump and standing water in engine compartment
I'm brand new to this group and almost a new owner of a 2008 Beneteau 43. I have spent time reading nearly every discussion and post in this group in preparation for making the offer and understanding the boat. It is clear that this group is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help. I hope I don't overstay my welcome with questions...Here is my first one and it came up during the pre-purchase survey. The boat had antifreeze (winterization/pink) in the bilge beneath the engine and then it…See More
