I had a nice surprise in the mail yesterday. The renewal for my boat
insurance came in and the premium went DOWN 25%, without any change in
coverage.
I called the agent to see what was up and she said that almost every policy
with this company (Royal Sun Alliance) had a decrease in premiums
Has anyone tried to use the PredictWind weather routing? It looks awesome,
but I wonder if it works.

I think mine is the same this year, but last year it went up to cover hurricane
losses. Last hurricane we had I was on my boat when BOATUS called and offered
to haul me out for free. I guess they REALLY didn't want any more claims. I
declined and told the nice lady our marinas were on flat

They work well for indirect lighting but don't expect as much light per LED as

Fixtures sold for trucks are better for direct lighting IMHO and cheaper.

into the locker forward of the bulkhead. No problems after 13 years.

Drill a hole into the engine compartment in an appropriate place and put a
small hinged cover with a slide bolt or similar to lock it shut.

I have exactly what Bill suggests with a fire extinguisher within 12-18
inches of it.
The idea is to extinguish an engine fire without opening an access to let
oxygen in.

You should be able to use most (or all) of the same wiring for the new drive;
but you might need to redo your mounting shelf (or whatever you’ve got)
depending on the geometry of the new drive’s mounting. Shouldn’t be a bad
swap, and I think you’ll be happy with the Octopus.

The diesel engine fire video demonstrates one of the reasons Calypso has an

engine space.

Actually diesel engines have caused WAY more fires than gasoline engines over
the years.
Gas *fires* are pretty rare. Usually it is a gas explosion and THEN a fire, at
which point a fire extinguisher is kinda pointless.

For galley fires, I went with the Safety at Sea recommendation and put a
fire blanket on the boat as a first line of defense. No mess to clean up
afterwards and only $10 at Home Depot. I was so impressed I put one in the

The fire blanket onboard makes great sense. If I had one available back in
1979 it would have been un-necessary to clean up all that dry chem. BTW, dry

I am going to put one onboard Calypso.
I could be wrong but I'm guessing this boat is has left hand rotation.

Same thing if you have to come down a fairway. Don't turn into the fareway
