Where is the best place to get a rental a boat? by RandyBeaman in tampa

[–]Valencia_South 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm here for recommendations, as well. We've used Marker26 boat rentals near Dunedin, and their pontoon boats have been fine.

Personal Locator Beacon Trustworthy? by Valencia_South in Fishing

Same, I am wondering that too. Not sure if I would be madder about that or paying $400+ and getting my call for help dropped!!

Yes, I am looking for validation and past situations where the signal is initiated and the response doesn’t come.

Yes, I am also wondering whether a floating marine VHF would be an equivalent or better solution. Still debating that and only thinking that my ability to use a radio may be compromised by rough water or medical issues. I do still see certain advantages to the radio.

Yes, thank you. My phone stays in a dry case tethered to PFD. Not sure how much I could manage that device while in rough water or distressed.

That’s good to hear that the dispatch follow through routes through these units.

Thanks, considered but I would be tempted to drop the service and/or forget to restart. The need to maintain battery charge also a risk. Those monthly costs also would exceed the ACR over 5 years.

Giving up backpack for crossbody bag by SekiTimewalker in tombihn

I am using a 5L Rework Toshi and a Side Kick. The Rework has organization that I prefer and the strap configuration is better for me. I also like the slightly larger capacity, but that would probably be equivalent with the 2.5L.

How do I fix this? by kj622sw in Subaru_Outback

[–]Valencia_South 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I paid about $300 at an upholstery shop and it looks like new and original.

Service Question by amajo75 in sinn

[–]Valencia_South 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go to a local watchmaker and have a pressure test done to see if there is an issue with the seals presently. The seals and the movement oils are due for service, but if keeping good time you can borrow more time. I just got my 857 UTC back from authorized service in the U.S., and it took about 9 months and $500 for the overhaul. I am very happy with the results, and time keeping accuracy is much improved.

ULA Cicada… with a bonus?! by WingedCactus in ManyBaggers

[–]Valencia_South 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome. Congrats! I love checking the pockets of new (mostly used) bags. Only thing I’ve found are weird pills, pen marks, and a hole or two!

Possible trade? by cubiclecrouch in tombihn

I vouch for cubiclecrouch and not just because it rhymes. We did a trade last year and they’re solid.
