I do not now have a wife but I do have two wonderful daughters and three granddaughters. Wile I am not looking for some one, I would not be apposed to having someone along to share the fun and the load... I don’t mind single handing but I like to have a crew. And I am easy to get along with. I don’t like smokers, not that I want to feel that way but I just can’t help it. I do make it appoint to take cair of my health and eat with that in mine.

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.

tortola is rich with diversity, while the smaller jost van dyke, just offshore and looking out and upwards over tortola is a treat, and party island for boaters.
