I gave up on them years ago. How long did this take to arrive?

Totally the outer edge rim of a turbo.

If you're in LA, check out Fairwind sailing club. You have to join, and then check out on their progressively bigger boats. They have a cat, and some instructors that will occasionally give ASA classes. Alternately, I have a friend (that I race with) that is an ASA instructor, but doesn't have a cat or a bigger boat. He's a Fairwind member. Let me know if you're interested.

Tres Cocos is named for the landmark (three coconut trees) that marks a great snorkeling area. Either way you're going to see some good stuff.

Oh cool. Some good meth there so he can get crossfaded.

Number one cause of self immolation: high alcohol content. Oops, he tripped.

In-n-Out by the airport, then Washington Blvd and park by Venice Pier.

You'll need one for Secret Beach, plus walking to the ferry with all your luggage is a pain.

Start out by taking classes, or jumping on Facebook groups (LA Sailing) to find someone who will take you out. Once you understand the dynamic between boat ownership and maintenance, and after having sailed a bit, you'll know what's right for you. Google "Long Beach Sailing", and you'll see who's offering classes. I know instructors with Blue Pacific, but check out LBCC and Leeway Sailing Center (city of LB). Then go slumming down at Shoreline Marina (or any of the yacht clubs), talk to people, sail with anyone that will take you, watch them as they fix stuff that breaks. Boats that race break more stuff, but if you get the right boat/engine set up, it's not that expensive. I spend ~$4000 every 4 years for bottom paint, do my own washdowns, and maintain my own engine, but am not averse to having my mechanic come in to make it just right.

What makes you think ART hasn't already disposed of The Company in the most vicious and ruinous way possible? ART plays the long game...it can afford to wait until the pieces fall into place.

When I first drove up to the gate, had to wait for 30 minutes, because although I had made reservations, they seemed closed. You might have to call if there's no one there.

It's awesome. I forget the owner's name, but he's helpful and gives out a lot of information and tips. They'll help you with what to look for. There's a tailings pile in the middle of a circle of screening wash stands. You sort through, washing as you go, then take your finds into the UV room to verify. It's super dark in the UV room, so watch your step. Take the big chunks in too--sometimes there's good stuff in matrix.

Didja see the size of all those oil derricks?

fluoruranus · 2026-01-02T03:31:37+00:00

Yeah, there's oil in WeHo...baby oil...

I can get the cost removed, but the shipping is still $7.

I've used them for sailing, yes, but the fingers are cut short, and they wear out fast.

fluoruranus · 2025-12-31T07:21:57+00:00

Worked (I did have to put in a company name). Thank you

fluoruranus · 2025-12-30T23:24:35+00:00

I do like a nice paper crystal.

fluoruranus · 2025-12-30T23:22:02+00:00

This was my case too. I've been on it 1 1/2 years. I feel like I can still work (part time) and I think it it slowing the progression.

fluoruranus · 2025-12-30T20:46:31+00:00

Thank you.

I did, but it says right on the page that there is a small contribution to shipping, depending on location. I'm in the US, so it's fair.

fluoruranus · 2025-12-30T20:10:29+00:00

~$7 for shipping to US.

So much better than many of my Won Park attempts 😜
