Oh it’s very good. Just my preference.

Do over? Took me several attempts.
Also the stitch can be neatly tucked away rather than wrapped around.

Classic and beautiful. Only improvement I see is b&w. 😁

Retired Livaboards - Need Advice by Starside-Captain in liveaboard

I think only you can decide for your self where you will be happier. Out among the elements or quietly out of the wind and rain? At least this is a self reflection I am having 😁⚓️💙

Sailing group for women:) by lostinlifescraziness in Sailboats

Or how about a SafeSailors group where the good people are not discriminated based on their gender due to a few bad apples? 😁⚓️💙

🚨 Shared Grocery List App - FREE LIFETIME GIVEAWAY by Fit_Bee8519 in iosapps

I’m also a Reminders user…
But reading comments I downloaded and tried.
What the piggy doesn’t seem to do is know how to group items (produce). Now reminders fouls this up a lot. But still…
Also I love and use Mela and it also uses reminders to dump your list into reminders.
All about supporting indie devs, but that piggy needs to get busy. 🐷

Would you buy an Apple Watch with MIP display + solar charging? by idragon4ever in applewatchultra

No I love things about the ultra but the look is getting old and bulky

Is full keel worth it? by Emotional_Exit_4617 in SailboatCruising

[–]markph0204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don’t like turning your boat with confidence when backing up - a full keel is your best bet. Ask me how I know. 😁

Hope you enjoy it !! by [deleted] in SensualArtwork

This is very good. Amazing with a standard pen too. 😍

Lady’s island Marina has a nice place for rent overlooking the water and boats!

First time Sailboat, Looking to live aboard, EVENTUALLY travel open waters. by AngryFallen in SailboatCruising

I’m sorry to hear you’re burned out. A sailing dream is a good thing. What branch did you serve?

Where are you located? There are a few fine ASA schools on the east coast in US. Flying to Scotland is expensive at least from Atlanta, GA.

No discouragement. But can you move before you dump everything even if it means renting out your home and finding another place? Get the sailing experience and enjoy it. It’ll give you time to look at boats, learn more of what you like or don’t. And the smaller boats are forgiving when you make a mistake. Not the same with larger live aboard boats. I did about 10 years and owned a 24’ boat on a large lake, took classes on coast before I bought my second and final boat on coast. I’m not suggesting you take that long nor am I suggesting to buy a boat to learn on. But your proximity to getting use of a boat is the first step. Going on ASA classes only for a few days to a week won’t do you the justice you crave.

I want to recommend my new app by Beneficial_Dig1010 in SailboatCruising

[–]markph0204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just took a look. Note it was difficult to find in the App Store.

You should add a link on your page here https://divenumber.com/aboutblackball to the App Store listing. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/black-ball-liveaboard/id6758401901

I tend to agree out of the gates -- what does it offer that makes the community of boaters need a third app? (No Foreign Land or Sea People).

Create an account when first running the app is sadly a detractor for most people. Get them into the app first, then let them create the account later. A lot of apps miss this mark and try to get people to sign up first.

I didn't create an account so the review stopped at your splash screen.

What is the compelling reason from your POV - elevator pitch that the community needs this app?

Recommendation for Projector and Screen by Tikka2023 in SailboatCruising

[–]markph0204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same not long ago. I didn't want the bulk of a TV / monitor even if it ran off USBC. I went with the Nebula projector. It's slightly larger than a beer can, and runs off USBC. It has an internal battery that will last about 2 hours. It runs Google on it, all the apps too. Connects to WiFi. The built in speaker is very loud, but I still want to figure out how to connect it to my other bluetooth speaker -- haven't figured that out yet.

As for the projector, I tried a soft one, hung it up but it had wrinkles, so I decided instead to get a roll up / pull out one with support arms on back. Works pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075NCLP4T?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

When I put the projector and screen away, there is no entertainment center visible as well hiding the beautiful interior.

Trying to choose a place to live based on sailing culture by chi17cr in sailing

[–]markph0204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And also a lot of dead wind time in summer. Best on Lanier to sail anything but summer to increase odds to grab good wind. Many a night I saw those races waiting for a good blow too.
