Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"Ron, Welcome to the group. You will enjoy sailing. Now is the time to be sailing not rehabbing or updating. We leave a clipboard in the cabin and all season long we make notes of things that need to be changed or fixed so when I pull her out…"
Jim Ashworth's blog post was featuredAnew sailing year
Another year has passed. We were one of the lucky ones who took their boat away from the shore the Saturday before sandy hit. We brought her home to sit the winter out in the back yard. I hope we get some nice weather so I can get some work done on her before the season comes. I will keep everyone posted as we progress.

A short clip of Keyport Harbor and the preparation of laying out the mooring balls.
Jim Ashworth posted a videoI sit down along the bay thinking about the coming season and how much we really enjoy ourselves on our boat sitting out on the water. This short video is the Keyport mooring field which is usually full of sailboats. There is nothing, not even a boat in site. Sure it is depressing now, but in a couple of months, it will be a different story. After the season gets going, this area will be full of sailboats. All of us with that million dollar view. The video ends on the Keyort Yacht Club dock.

Jim Ashworth replied to Jim Ashworth's discussion Finding treasure in the group Everything Pirates"This past summer I continued the search. I was finally able to find the small island off Treasure Lake which is not an island any longer. There is an area that on an extremely low tide may become an island. We call this a sand bar…"
Jim Ashworth replied to Andrea's discussion How did you name your boat?"We named our boat Lil Provo. We have traveled the Caribbean for years trying to find that perfect little island. Our favorite place is Grace Bay on Providenciales. On the island they refer to it as Provo. Providenciales is…"
Jim Ashworth posted a status"August 28, 2011 we were hit by hurricane Irene. Our home and business were both flooded. Lil Provo made it through without a hitch."
Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"We have a '78 22' with shoal keel. So it sounds like the deck to you as well. I guess I'll have to try to find someone that can go below with a wrench, while I unscrew things from above.
Thank you."
Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"Oday Owners Help- While sailing I have been having some water end up on the cabin sole. I open the inspection opening to the bilge and it has minimal water. What would cause water to come in while sailing and high enough to only make it…"

Carien du Plooy said… Hi! Thanks for the friend invite. Seems that NJ has quite a few sailors. I'm currently still living in London, UK, but hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll be in the States (Jersey City) for good by the end of summer 2011. Have you got any nice plans for Xmas?

Bruce Bogdanoff replied to sam's discussion water in sump near shaft packing gland in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"My hose clamps also needed tightening last year after I overheated the engine after an impeller failure. I assumed it was because the hose expanded or the clamp was not tightened properly when the boat was built.

water in sump near shaft packing gland
I recently found water in the sump aft of the engine under the packing gland. Of course my first suspicion was the Volvo gland, but turns out that the water was coming from the entry to the water lift muffler. Tightening both hose clamps stopped the leak. I had never checked those clamps before as they were a bit out of the way, but I suggest that its worth the effort. I found that the aft wood partition on the engine compartment was easy to remove / replace and enhanced access. Took the…See More
Sailing on . . .
Metaphorically I am sailing on. My life has taken a turn down a new road. To encompass all that is going on Sea Knots might be limiting. Then again, the transition to sassea.blogspot.com is like sailing upwind against a current. It is as confusing as learning to sail. You might remember those days. Learning the foibles of a foreign language. Multiple meaning words like tack and phrases like 'fall off' were a bit mind boggling.Perhaps there is a closer resemblance to transiting from Sea Knots…See More
