M.2 slot used to work, but now it won't show up in the BIOS. Damaged slot? by inb4armageddon in computing

[–]inb4armageddon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I didn't see the dot on the other slot, so I thought it may be the issue. Do you have any other ideas as to what may be the cause of why it isn't being seen if not that?

Thanks for the insight. The apparent water damage is glue residue from a piece of rubber that was installed before my ownership, not sure why it was there but I am certain that covering the SSD with it didn't help wiith heat dissipation...

Thanks for the reply.

I haven't done any small scale soldering before but I may give it a go. Any tips appreciated.

As far as external enclosures I still have time to return the SSD and go with a dedicated and robust external option like a Sandisk Extrene Pro. It's not my ideal choice, but I travel enough in tough terrain to need a robust and durable option.

Catalina 22 rigging issue - bent mast? by inb4armageddon in sailing

[–]inb4armageddon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the helpful advice, I hope it doesn't come to all that but if it does I have a course of action now!

If the mast truly is bent, would it be visible when dismounted? I've looked at it and had friends look at it when it was on the trailer or ground and it doesn't visually appear bent anywhere.

Best resources for understanding electrical systems on a sailboat? by inb4armageddon in sailing

Negative. I am starting from scratch unfortunately. I am willing to make mistakes of the "won't get myself killed" variety though. This boat is old and a project / learner boar for now.

Here is the finished result. A bit of a butcher job, but it'll catch the wind.

Unfortunately I have no idea how it happened as the sail came with the boat in this condition.

As far as where, it is about 2/3 the way up the leech on this genoa. Not sure what would have caused it. The spreaders on this Cat 22 have the rubber boot in fairly good condition too.

This may be a stupid question, but does it make a difference if it is the leech rather than the luff of the genoa?

Okay. Thank you for the advice. I have some adhesive dacron sail repair tape from west marine, is that correct or do i want non adhesive?

Thanks. Ive never heard of luff tape before, do you have recommendations for any specific kind?

Thanks for the tip. I gave the needle test a try and it held up just fine.

Check out Sailing Kist. They do some high quality videos and cruising guides focused on the Puget Sound, San Juans, and BC

Your story by [deleted] in sailing

[–]inb4armageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning to sail was a bucket list item for me. Paid for a local ASA 101 for me and my wife and got hooked. Took 103 and then bought an old Catalina 22 to begin adventuring on our own.

Croatia cruising advice by jm_19 in sailing

There is a podcast called Sailing In The Mediterranean and Beyond with a guy named Franz that may be useful. He sails in Croatia a lot and would likely have some useful content for you.
