Re: Stus-List Stereo finally works
Sounds like a fine solution. 1/1 review said the transducers are not reliable and gave a negative review. 2/7 worked for him. I would think the quality of the sound would be greatly influenced by the material it is mounted in. Fiberglass works well as a speaker cone? I wonder what the high end would be like. Bass would probably do well. And if anything else was mounted loosely it would add a bit of extra percussion at resonating frequencies. Seriously though this is an intriguing alternative. I'd like to hear how it goes.

Re: Stus-List Swapping coasts and Bops
Out there I would prefer a fixed keel. Don't most sailors? I consider a swing keel to be an East Coast necessity. Do many sailors have swing keel models in the PNW? As we know, that blade is heavy and takes some effort to manage. It's worth it to be able to traverse so much of the Chesapeake that would be too shallow otherwise. (And to keep the boat in 5' of water). In the PNW I would think we'd just leave it down permanently and it would eventually get stuck like that if we didn't make a point of raising and lowering. Are there shallow bays where it would come in handy? But you do have a good point and perhaps we will ultimately do exactly that. We will see what kind of offers we get. However I'm hoping the difference between 6 and (6+x) might be workable (depending on the value of x) if we can end up with a boat that is better suited for that area. Additionally in the equation: Admiral Bop is keen on moving up three feet (or more), and we have friends there who expressed interest in co-owning a sailboat when we get there - which might make that three feet more important as well as affordable. And because we will be downsizing the house, upsizing the Bop has a certain balance aspect in the larger sense -which almost makes sense. Can you approximate the slip fee for a 35-38 in Puget Sound? We might end up in or around Edmonds. Ron On Aug 12, 2014, at 1:56 PM, Martin DeYoung mdeyo...@deyoungmfg.com wrote: Ron and Lisa, First off it is rarely clammy in winter, just cold and wet.

Re: Stus-List getting seasick
I'm somewhat prone to seasickness. I found through personal experience when I was much younger the following three precautions that I try my best to follow: 1. Get enough sleep the night before boating. Being sleepy is similar to dizziness (at least for me) and sleepiness can make seasickness (unless it is caused by Bonine) more likely (unless you can just sleep) 2. Don't be hung-over. Same as sleepiness but with nausea added. Starting out like that is a bad move. 3. Eat a decent breakfast. Low blood sugar and/or a stomach full of junk (candy bars, Fritos, donuts) can cause dizziness and nausea which the gentle motion of the sea will push squarely into the red zone. I've tried ginger in various forms and am not quite convinced of its effectiveness. Never heard of Stugeron but am now interested in trying it. I see online that the active ingredient is an antihistamine: Cinnarzine. How is the drowsiness compared to that of Bonine (meclizine)? I see that the brain has a vomit center. The trick is to prevent signals originating in the inner ear from reaching the VC. Apparently antihistamines are able to do this. And, it seems, they always make you more or less sleepy.
