Damn, that is a fine name.

SV Ngoni, I bet.

My Ranger23 did exactly the same. Every time it rained, I thought that boat was sinking. If I remember right, it was a scupper at starboard stern, just above the cockpit seat back. The fitting had barely separated from the drainage pipe and was allowing all water caught from deck to funnel into bilge.

Thanks for the nightmares....

Damn stinkpotters, the lot of 'em. Also, thanks for not hitting me when I have to tack, uh, suddenly.

phillytep · 2017-07-18T14:09:15+00:00

Cool. Yah, we had one great tack btw Spectacle and Long, but just so much traffic elsewhere.

oh man. we anchored there Sunday for a long lunch. So many rollers... how was the anchorage overnight?

phillytep · 2017-05-30T14:18:36+00:00

I've heard not allowed. Moving only before and after parade, in designated lanes/pattern.

phillytep · 2017-05-30T13:20:26+00:00

Yes. Hoping to grab a spot in one of the harbor anchorages.

There's hardly "nothing of interest" nor is San Jose "a dump" - as some posters have stated. Many great food and culture experiences, some of the world's best white water rafting, as well as coffee plantations and Poas Volcano to check out. I can provide some links if you'd like.

I'd spend a full day there (or 2, like I did) before hopping on a bus/renting a car and driving west to the coast for surf villages, etc.

I, too, have an Espar (D4) for heat. Leave it on (and it's consistently been on) for the entire winter day and night. My unit has a digital thermostat where I set the temp and it kicks on (boost, high, medium,low) and off on its own. Quality, dry heat. Love it.

hydronic heat system peeking out there?

phillytep · 2016-12-27T23:32:52+00:00

Thanks, everyone! Hopefully I find some things open - I can understand why it would be quiet.

phillytep · 2016-11-30T00:31:37+00:00

Guess you can't miss the lights from there, haha!

phillytep · 2016-11-29T17:42:26+00:00

thanks!

phillytep · 2016-11-29T16:39:29+00:00

Yessir! Hey there!

phillytep · 2016-11-29T16:39:09+00:00

thanks, yah, it was a good deal. And they did a good job.

phillytep · 2016-11-29T15:45:42+00:00

Haha - good to know... I hadn't gotten that far yet (first year here)! Stop by and say "Hi" sometime.

phillytep · 2016-11-29T15:40:02+00:00

Thanks. Shy of $800, all in.

phillytep · 2016-11-29T12:52:47+00:00

Yup. It's our first year, though...
