"Hello Randy,
New to the group, going through the posts, I have come upon this thread. I was considering tinting my windows of my Beneteau 43 with a darker tint, but I really like your idea. So I will copy with…"

- About Me:
- I left Sarasota, Fl with a partner in 1996 for the keys in a 35' Morgan. Stayed around the Keys until February, 1998 when we crossed over to Bimini and down the chain. I bought a CT47 in Grenada and sold the Morgan. My partner got tired of the life in 2004 and left, leaving me to singlehand for the next 3 years until I sold the boat in early 2007.

- From Florida through the Bahamas, Turks & Caucos, DR, Puerto Rico, Virgins and down the island chain to Trinidad and Venezuela.
- Looking to:
- Hopefully meet someone who wants to go cruising full time. I would love to go back out again, I missed the Western Caribbean and I've heard it's great over there.

"Larry good luck. And remember to use the KISS Method when troubleshooting. Keep It Simple Stupid haha. It’s an old and basic concept that dictates you always do the easiest and obvious stuff first. Then if it doesn’t fix it get more…"

"Sounds like you need to give that windlass some TLC. I used to clean and apply a light coating of grease to all the surfaces in and under the gypsy. It remained smooth over a 10 year period. Five of those years were spent cruising full time on the…"
B43 Windlass Drainage
Doing some maintenance on my B43 Quick Antares windlass this year. After removing the windlass, I knew instantly that I should have been doing this at least ever other year. The windlass was preforming weak and slow with a noise which made me think the motor brushes or a bearing was going out, thus the reason for removing it.What I found upon removal was a tremendous amount of salt and sand on the top part of the gearbox, literally packed in. Upon cleaning everything up, luckily all bearings…See More

How are you?
I was wondering where you went! I miss seeing you around in the islands and Venezuela.
Since you left the cruising community has changed a lot. Most of the people you knew have gone back home. John and Brenda are headed back this year and Dick and Jo have put the hook down in St. Thomas for the summer where Jo found a job with Budget Marine.
As for me, I got tired of summers in Trinidad am at this moment in Bermuda on my way to spend the summer cruising in New England. I won't stay state side though. I will go back down in the fall.
Best Wishes!

I found a Boat that I may get. an Islander 34. Just a basic boat will take some stuff to make it a cruiser but the price is right and it lloks good in the pics.
I may go to Los Angels to see it in person soon.
Want nto go cruise a small boat?

Its a small virtual world, you contacted me on Fitness Singles. I am not active on the site and not able to respond there, but thought I recognized your pic, it seems I found you. I am new to seaknots, but I like the idea. I share your passion for sailing, This last spring was my first experience in the BVI on a Beneteau 46. Loved it look forward to more. I am in the final years of my working career, and working on getting the sailing kitty well stocked. I would enjoy hearing more from from you. Rod
Please review my info, and if interested, I cand send more info to
your e-mail.
