Re: Stus-List Northeast Rendezvous
Dave and John, I always tell my crews that a sign of a good captain is the ability to delegate. I'm not prepared to do the organizing for a rendezvous (yet). But I am willing to be crew. If you take on the burden of organizing, I am willing to help any way I can.

I am reasonably sure that the boat basin will give us a group discount on slips as after Labor Day it slows to a crawl on Block Isl. Plus, the mooring field is pretty empty so anyone who wanted a mooring could stay right in front of The Oar. The food and drinks at The Oar are very reasonable and very good. There are BBQ grills and tables at the end of the dock for public use. We could have a pot luck BBQ one day? 2. Milford Landing, Milford, CT. Milford Landing is the town dock in Milford. They have 40 transient slips that are a short walk from a vibrant little town. They have an off season rate ($2.25ft/floating docks I think) No shortage of bars, restaurants and the like. Farther down the sound for the Westerners but not out of reach for some of us coming from back East.

Re: Stus-List Winter Projects
I made a wheel cover last year. My total cost was less than $50. I bought left over leather, cut strips to size and then took it to a shoe maker to glue together the strips and run his sewing machine along the edges to make holes. Boatleather has a great video showing how to sew it on. With a 54 inch wheel recall that I calculated I put in about 750 stitches. Many, many hours watching TV and sewing. I now want to make leather spreader patches with the left over leather. Does anyone have an idea how to make template?

Re: Stus-List STORAGE CONTRACTS
I'd have to read my actual contract to know how our yard handles this. But, in practice, it doesn't seem to matter much. I've always had a winter storage contract and the yard has always treated it as meaning from the time you haul out to the time you launch. I've launched and hauled at many different times over the years (in as late as June; out as early as Labor Day) but have never been asked to pay anything extra. I do have to believe that they'd charge me if I left the boat in the yard all summer, or maybe if I wanted to launch in May and haul out in June.

Re: Stus-List STORAGE CONTRACTS
Our yard just has a per square foot charge for 'on the hard' storage and a fixed fee for the 'season' in the water. You go in and out when you are ready and so are they. I have had in the water storage in the winter (once with mast up and twice under a roof with mast down). Go in sometime in mid to late April and out in November. The racing season starts the first week of May and ends up in late October. We used to have to pull the mast for storage on the hard, but about five years ago, they dropped that. This year it came out in late November and was shrink wrapped - we will take the cover off in April, do the bottom and touch up the Poly Glow and launch when they get the three boats that are in our way done.

Re: Stus-List Winter Projects - What's that smell
On Saturday as I entered Calypso's winter cover to resume work on some wet core repairs I exclaimed What's that smell. It appears a local otter had defecated on Calypso's deck since my or the co-owner's last visit (3 to 5 days). The feces had dried into a tar like substance that took 30 minutes of soak and cleaning with Simple Green to remove. The boat cover which can act as a green house nicely concentrated the smell. If this keeps up I may lobby for a short open season on otters at Shilshole Bay Marina. Winter project progress continues, now in new epoxy/balsa core phase. For wheel covering I also went with the gray Boatleather covering. The wheel cover has been in place for almost 10 years and holding up well. Calypso has a Sunbrella cover for the wheel and binnacle (including chartplotter display and instrument pods) to reduce weather damage.

Re: Stus-List Border Crossing From US to Canada
I`ve found that clearing into Canada (as a Canadian) is generally a straightforward phone call to CAN-PASS and then once in a while, they`ll tell you to stay on board while an officer comes to inspect. They would also store my family and boat details in their system, so I wouldn`t have to recite 5 sets of passport details every time. Clearing into the US is a real mixed bag. I`ve done it on two of the Great Lakes, Newport, USVI, and PR and it`s a different process in each place. And, you can research the protocols all you want in advance, but when you get to places that are more than 10 miles from Alexandria VA (or wherever CBP is located), they have no idea and don`t care what might be shown on cbp.gov. Traveling from Tortola BVI to St. John USVI to Fajardo PR last December, I had to clear customs and immigration in both St John and Fajardo and was also inspected on board in Fajardo. This despite the fact that Bojangles has a valid US cruising license (which allows it to move between US ports without inspection) and my wife and I both have NEXUS cards - which, according to CBP.gov - allows us to travel between USVI and PR as Local Boaters (who don`t have to report). So, imagine my surprise when I get quarantined on my boat for about 2 hours waiting for CBP to arrive. Then when they do, they ask me to fill out all the same damn forms I had filled out the day before in St. John. So I do it... and then... I want my pound of flesh from the poor agent, asking her to explain all the nuances of the NEXUS / Trusted Traveler Program and how it's any different from if I didn't have it... At the end of the day, the poor agent was clearly flummoxed (and apologetic). It seems that these great programs get designed at head office and then the rollout gets bollocksed up. (That said, using NEXUS at airports... is awesome!) And lastly - the easiest US port to clear in? Newport RI... Took me about 2 minutes after a 5 day trip from Bermuda. No forms, no videophones, just a guy on the dock who looked briefly at our passports (not even boat papers) and decided that we were OK.

Re: Stus-List Winter Projects - What's that smell
Martin, In the future you might try the cleaning product, Awesome which can be purchase at the dollar store or dollar tree, one or both I'm not sure. My wife swears by this stuff. Most recently I had the back of a Nikon N90 which had a rubberized coating that became very sticky to touch. I attempted to remove the coating rubbing with rag soaked in acetone with no success. Moving ahead several years I mentioned the situation to my bride who took the camera back and disappeared for 10 minutes only to return with the coating gone. She cleans everything with the stuff. The only restriction is, do not clean glass, it will etch glass. Will it work on Otter crap better than Simple Green we don't know but it might. There is that west coast air to considered.

Re: Stus-List Winter Projects
You can buy leather at about any good fabric store that offers upholstery material. You can get scrap pieces at upholstery shops, belt makers, some shoe repair shops. There is not much worth watching on TV, which is precisely thy sewing a cover on your wheel while sitting in front of the TV is such a good winter project. I did mine a few years ago, and I'd guess 750 or so stitches took three or four evenings. As far as the cost, watch on Ebay and you will see elk hide kits at pretty reasonable prices - far less than you'd pay for anew kit from Edson. I think I bought my kit from someone who never got around to sewing it on his wheel, and it only cost $25 or $30. I think I still have a foot or two of left over 3 wide elk hide on the boat. I thought about putting a cover on the shift lever, but bought a spare on Ebay and put a thick coat of epoxy and varnish on the wood instead (another good winter project).

They would also store my family and boat details in their system, so I wouldn`t have to recite 5 sets of passport details every time. Clearing into the US is a real mixed bag. I`ve done it on two of the Great Lakes, Newport, USVI, and PR and it`s a different process in each place. And, you can research the protocols all you want in advance, but when you get to places that are more than 10 miles from Alexandria VA (or wherever CBP is located), they have no idea and don`t care what might be shown on cbp.gov. Traveling from Tortola BVI to St. John USVI to Fajardo PR last December, I had to clear customs and immigration in both St John and Fajardo and was also inspected on board in Fajardo. This despite the fact that Bojangles has a valid US cruising license (which allows it to move between US ports without inspection) and my wife and I both have NEXUS cards - which, according to CBP.gov - allows us to travel between USVI and PR as Local Boaters (who don`t have to report). So, imagine my surprise when I get quarantined on my boat for about 2 hours waiting for CBP to arrive. Then when they do, they ask me to fill out all the same damn forms I had filled out the day before in St. John. So I do it... and then... I want my pound of flesh from the poor agent, asking her to explain all the nuances of the NEXUS / Trusted Traveler Program and how it's any different from if I didn't have it... At the end of the day, the poor agent was clearly flummoxed (and apologetic). It seems that these great programs get designed at head office and then the rollout gets bollocksed up. (That said, using NEXUS at airports... is awesome!) And lastly - the easiest US port to clear in? Newport RI... Took me about 2 minutes after a 5 day trip from Bermuda. No forms, no videophones, just a guy on the dock who looked briefly at our passports (not even boat papers) and decided that we were OK.

Re: Stus-List STORAGE CONTRACTS
I think you're right, Edd. When I was in Philly, we hauled out between October 1st and 15th, and splashed starting after tax day. I have friends from Maine who haul in September and splash for Memorial Day. In North Carolina, we normally only haul every few years for a bottom job. A typical haul out deal is haul, pressure wash, block, store for 2 weeks, and launch for $x per foot. Longer term storage is month to month, with some boats stored because it is less than slip rent, and some stored for long term projects. The yard I use charges $7.50/ft for 1 2 week haul, and $6/ft for monthly storage. Now we do have a sort of a Haul out season here, but it is July to November. Lots of boats come north from the Caribbean and points on the East Coast in order to get above N36 degrees for hurricane season. I presume there is a market for Hurricane Season haul outs further south as well.

Re: Stus-List Border Crossing From US to Canada
In some states in the U.S. you *don't* need a passport to re-enter the U.S. from some countries, and an EDL is far cheaper than a passport. And Canada is outside *my* country. ;-) Ed On 2013-02-04 5:58 PM, Colin Kilgour wrote: the cost of a passport? I would think that even folks who don't travel on business would occasionally travel outside their own country. And for that, you need a passport.

Stus-List Diversion is for sale
It is with a bit of sadness that I put the for sale sign on Diversion. As one grows older, lifestyles change, pleasure becomes work, costs continue to rise and changes have to be made. Diversion is a 1973 30ft CC and has not been in the water for 1 year. Sitting on the hard for any length of time is not good for any boat. She is going to take a bit of TLC to get her back to her pristine condition but it won’t take much. I have her listed well below the going prices for similar prices. If anyone is seriously interested, contact me off list at: s...@cncphotoalbum.com and I will gladly send you a link to the complete specs. Don’t worry, my love for CC’s will mean the site and list will continue as in the past. Stu___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com

Re: Stus-List Winter Projects - What's that smell
Anytime a product warns about etching glass, I think hydroflouric acid. VERY nasty stuff. Even diluted it can cause painful skin irritation. Read the labels carefully. Try to find an MSDS for it.

My wife swears by this stuff. Most recently I had the back of a Nikon N90 which had a rubberized coating that became very sticky to touch. I attempted to remove the coating rubbing with rag soaked in acetone with no success. Moving ahead several years I mentioned the situation to my bride who took the camera back and disappeared for 10 minutes only to return with the coating gone. She cleans everything with the stuff. The only restriction is, do not clean glass, it will etch glass. Will it work on Otter crap better than Simple Green we don't know but it might. There is that west coast air to considered.

Re: Stus-List STORAGE CONTRACTS
Hi Edd, In my Canada the storage season is all year 'round. With the yacht in the water and available for a sail, if the skipper chooses. Full disclosure: I'm in the process of putting up a hard frame plastic cover to accommodate deck works. No day sails for me other than racing on some other yacht. If I wish dry storage over the winter it is by the day, week, month or fixed term depending my requirements. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 east Vancouver Island At 12:36 PM 04/02/2013, you wrote: I think it would depend on the facility and the location. Here in New York City, winter storage runs from October to May. I would imagine in Florida it's probably more like December to February. And in Canada, it's probably something like August to June :-) All the best, Edd Edd M.
