The article is right, we sailed 8,000nms and the longer we sailed the better we got.

We were sailing from Lymington to Burnham-On-Crouuch where w were going to keep the boat. Off the Kent coast we were boarded by two Border Force people and and all we asked was where we had left from.

We were saiilng from Lymington to Burnham--on-Crouch where were were goingt to base the boat. Off the Kent coast we were boarded by the Border Force and all they asked was where had come from. What I found strange was that there were two of them, one was by the cocpit and asked the question...

As said fit a galvanic isolator otherwise you risk corrosion, the propellor is one as are the anodes.

I prefer chain to rode because I put out the length of chain required for the catenary to hold the boat and the anchor is the back up.

>We hold our aquabell 30 with 18feet of 10mm chain, to rope, the hook is a 17kg Delta, Operating on the East coast Thames Estuary, mainly mud, at depths of 30 to 65 feet 48 feet of chain and rope but depth of 65 feet?

One thing d concern is the range of frquencies. Modern handheld and mobile radios can have capacities as high as 255 channels. The Chinese phone has 70 Programmable Channels

Jane and I never sailed in the winter.

The reason for a marine licence is they are the lifeblood of cruising. There ocean nets, marina nets and anchorage nets. Plus you can set a time and frequency to chat with other cryuisers.

We got our B1/B2 visas at the USA London embassy we had to wait four hours and saw three different people asked why we wanted a visa. Fingerprints are taken. They last 10 years and you can visit any American teritory. Take your passports.

The FCC forbids ham sets from transmitting on marine SSB frequencies, but this is standard procedure among cruising hams. The exception to this law is when there is danger to human life. Information regarding severe weather conditions, sea state, obstructions and piracy is meant to save human lives

I forgot to mention I used Asrocalc http://maintain.astrocalc.com/ The site is waiting for new software.

I bought an Avon Hypalon dinghy, the floor wasn't Hypalon and got UV damage. Avon replaced it free and Jane made a canvas cover for it.

If you are intending to use thr SSB on a yachtr then you need marine licence.
