I couldn't imagine it where I am now - Deep Cove is at the end of a 1km long
narrow high sided channel, wind funnels down its length. Short tacking would be

Rich,
Thanks for the heads up. I was just online tonight looking at bilge pumps.
My CS 30 doesn't have an automatic bilge pump, just a manual.
I feel like I should add an automatic pump, but I wonder what size.
My boat has a very flat bilge with no 'deep' spots at all and maybe 4 space

OK. Boat got off the dock today. After a bunch of engine work, new hoses and
new fuel tank (all installed by mechanic) everything is supposed to be working
smoothly.
Well. Getting off the dock was not so smooth. Couldn't sort out why roller
furler was jamming for a bit.
Finally sorted the

this weekend I can strip off the boat cover, get the boat paint done, quick
polish/wax topsides and do some initial interior cleaning on the new boat.
Target is to splash Friday next week. Bit of a challenge

Dwight, I must admit that I took your first comment as a bad joke. Clearly that

Yesterday I met a young guy at my Mirage 24 - he's very interested in buying.
I listed it for $4400 - with great sails, and all the gear needed to sail. I

I've been saving several of the messages on how to remove old boat names.
Planning on re-naming my CS30 this spring. Current name is Sea Fever - which
is not bad, but does not speak to me personally.
But I'm still not totally committed that I have the right need name.

I was looking at the SH chart plotter - it appears that is costs an extra $90
for the 'pre-installed' basic charts.
You can get the 'C-Map Max' cards with additional detail - depending on the
region $130-300 (with a $50 rebate if you buy the card together with the
plotter).

Apparently I've got a few $ coming for Xmas gift to address (a small bit of) my

I thought it would be prudent to get a couple of comfortable inflatable life

Given my sailing over the last 2 yrs has all been in the Halifax harbor and

This discussion leads me to a question.
Looking at the CS 30 I had a really tough time getting under the floorboards -
the Robertson head screws were full of dirt an it was very difficult to get
many of the screws out.
I had to use a little dental tool I'd brought with me to gouge the dirt
Just back from a few hours digging though the boat.
Sails look good. Better than expected.
Bottom looks good.
Rudder was stiff when I moved it by hand (after I loosened the brake) - wonder
if there is a grease nipple?
Deck and gear all look solid. Windows need to be replaced, couple of
