Michael Teaford replied to Derek McCrea's discussion fishing on sailboats??"Fishing while underway is by dragging a float or handline w/ a tuna jig or plug. Bottom fishing is done while in the dinghy. This is the way in the Pacific, should work in any ocean. Hand line is 70' 220# test w/ 10' 100# test…"

"Thanks for your feedback--that is what folks have been telling me, but I have still stuck to watercolors mostly, more a hobby than to make a living. Honestly what has been the best is commissions of my subjects where customers send me a photo, ie…"

Most marketable medium????I have reached a roadblock with my goals as an artist. My main medium for many years has been watercolors. I have created hundreds of detailed watercolors in the right sets, colors, and styles. Recently I have had a challenge when being accepted into the art print market. For example I go to a top print manufacturer that has 100,000 or more images they use. I type in "watercolor" in the search box to get an idea of the market. What came up was a whopping 6 watercolor…See More

Peter Hollings replied to Derek McCrea's discussion Most Marketable?"Hi, Derek,
I suspect that the reason people prefer oils and acrylics is that the colors in those media are more intense. I am not saying that it should be that way, just that it appears to be so. I notice in your watercolors a great diversity of…"

- Hi Derek,
I am soon to be retired after 38 1/2 years. I got drafted in 71, entered basic at FT Ord in 72. Been to Iraq twice,Mosul region, and Afghaniatan once, was pretty much from end to the other there. My body is shot, my mind is burnt out, I am definately ready for setting the clock to Island Time. Maybe we will get a chance to hook up on my way down. Leaving around 9 Oct down the ICW, I have 30 days leave to get to southern florida. I'll plan on spending a night there on the way down. Jeff

James Taylor replied to GaryG's discussion Cockpit latches problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"B43 #19 has had similar issues but easily resolved by;
1.) adjusting latchhead to proper position then;
2.) tightening backing nut.
Have not had to do this with middle seat but there is a backing nut on latch. You have to be a contortionist…"
James Taylor commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"I have no idea!
Maybe you can call Beneteau with your manufacture's Identification Number and Beneteau can give you the hull number."

James Taylor commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"They changed the site about a year ago and dropped the hull number entry for logging in.
Their pricing is fair on some items and outrageous on others but overall I think Beneteau pricing is "good". Staff is very helpful and shipping is…"

I checked and the Beneteau 43 is a Oceanis series boat in the US. The B43 on Beneteau site is the Beneteau 43 Oceanis series boat. Give them a call for further confirmation. I think the first year is 2008 and last year is 2011 for B43.
