I did. If you are in transit up or down "the ditch" and need a bit of local help PM me. Wrightsville beach anchorage is 10 mins from my house

Once "cos I had to as a condition of purchase. Nic 36 "Jandavina" became "Bold Nic" . No ceremony, no problem.

Anchored there a few years back to drop off friends at the airport. No problem as the appearance of my boat made it obvious that we were boat bums. I used to ask the guys that. came out for fruit or fish, whatever they could spare. Got left alone

Now that the storm is over does anybody have any first hand recollections of the Mr Fish storm? We were aboard our recently purchased Nich 36 on Kings brokerage berth in Shamrock Quay and were woken by the bow nodding into the dock as the wind got under the long overhang of the stern...

Re: Raggies Unbelievable stupidity, Pics Let's just suppose for a moment that the sailing boat was a large tree trunk with nobody "in command". Would you hold the tree trunk responsible if one of the racers failed to avoid it?

Previous deck job was two part paint "Awlgrip" done "profesionally" about 8 years ago. The Florida sun did a job on it and it is now so badly cracked and crazed that I am going to have to use mega amounts of stripper to remove it. Contemplated Treadmaster but beyond my budget. $119 a gallon...

I have no idea but it would appear that this product could be the answer for a lot of folks with iffy decks?

http://www.durabakcompany.com/marine.htm Has anybody used this stuff?

Would be using white so leaching not a problem. Web site does not give sheet size??. Also don't know about availability in the US. Shipping could negate price differential.

Thanks for that but so far I have not been able to find any "other makes" hence the post!
