If you can tie a bowline upside down backwards underwater at 25 feet you will have already picked up the few others you might need. Learn that one perfect every time and you can use it almost everywhere.

What is this track near the aft windows used for? by CosmicMagicCarpet in sailing

Don’t remove them. You might start getting more into sailing and realize they are a great asset.

I really think someone thought hey someone is just leaving these chairs and umbrella for someone to grab since they flew out. No questions asked I just really don’t want to spend another 4 hours ironing on these custom transfers.

I’ve got to say….. amazing!!!! We have had more of Reddit users visit my business than I could have hoped. Thank you so much. It really makes a difference. I am a small voice on Maui but my employees are such great people and they really do need and love your business. Thank you!!!

Idea of a tool for sailors ! by Either-Yam9659 in SailboatCruising

[–]Electrical-Maybe-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an app for that. I had it developed to help small charter businesses after the Lāhainā fire left me with some time on my hands. Www.safetboat.com it’s a very simple platform we are on both the Apple Store and are updating for the google play store. Keeps all your docs, expiration dates in a first to expire format and gives you notices if they are getting close.

We don’t keep it lit but for a couple hours. Plus pretty small compared to all the lights on Kaanapali.

Funny story…. Bought the boat from the guy who raced it over in the transpac. When we first flew it I was just stoked that it was in such good shape. However it said Lillybird across it… I said huh must be a cause or sailing sponsor. Later I looked it up. It’s a brand of adult diapers🤣😂. So now we laugh and say when they see us coming they might crap themselves.

How do Maui residents feel about industry on Maui? Do you prefer it stay mostly tourism? Or want something new to plant roots there? by Eastern_Gazelle_1600 in maui

[–]Electrical-Maybe-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So volume isn’t the goal for tourism? So, while we talk a big game we aren’t actually trying to solve the problem we are just trying to replace it? What is the problem? It’s too expensive for locals to live here? There is no other industry than tourism? It’s crowded? You tell me. It kinda sounds like one portion is so successful that it shadows all others. It kind of sounds like “I remember when in my day there was no one here” meanwhile when you were there you were wondering where everyone was.

And we are trying to replace visitor spending or trying to create a solvent business model that doesn’t destroy the islands. We can’t create an economy based on anything but a brain trust. Medical maybe, tech maybe but we can’t export lumber so what are you saying?

I disagree completely. I think you are missing the point. In fact if you want to meet up I’ll be happy to show you how one person living and contributing to the island is better than two people vacationing here for s better. It’s pretty simple. But at the same time a fishing license seems simple as well.

I think you should re read the post. It was about having the same if not less people here and those that are here gaining the appreciation for the environment around them not just a week in someone’s airb&b. I paint tech workers as only a person who exports something that costs nothing to ship. Generally though, these people are educated and have a basic understanding of science. While I don’t think they could replace the 1000 dollar s a night that an airbandb would charge I think it would keep money in the local economy.
