zee, I am so sorry to hear about this! Please post a list of what you lost. We can help replace pieces of it, too. Or email me: phil at sailboatowners.com.
Don't let this get you down! Get your boat ready and sail on out of that harbor.

Been ransacked and burglarized as well Zee...you have my complete empathy. It can really mess with your sense of safety...do all you can to not let the bad guys win. Cops are still following the perps in my case. Keep in touch with them and be proactive in trying to help the cops catch them. Small things can help..I found the boxes for the components I used to build 2 high end computers. The serial numbers on them helped with parts turned up at a drug raid. Now building the case.
But take the best care of yourself and don't let them steal your passion for sailing too.

amstill shaking --- is a few days now and i am still shaking....i need to compose some thoughts and respond to you guys. i will make a list of missing stuff and get back with ye-- this is a mayhem. still want flamethrower....but i think postage might be a tad over the top for one of those.
Sorry to hear of your robbery. I understand a bit how you feel, our house was broken into a couple times, several years ago. one time while we were asleep - they got a purse, and once when we were away - lost stereo, computer guitar, etc.
You're still here, the boat still floats, it was just stuff. Stuff can be replaced.
Best wishes.

Zeehag, I do hope you are feeling a bit more comfortable and are able to get on with your life and continue to plan a voyage. Don't stop the planning. It will help you overcome more emotional thoughts. Think with your head and not emotions. Looking towards the future helps everyday. Our thoughts are with ya. I have your address and I will be sending you a few dollars to help you with your haul out. Snail mail is my only vehicle to get you money. Again, sorry to hear it still happens. Do I understand correctly when you say you live aboard? My heart goes out to you girl. Don't let the bastards get you down.
Keep it up,

i never could figger why the thiefs went after ssdi recipients, even if we do aid folks, seems comes back and bite ye. is more difficult when solo and female-- isnt really anyonehere on moorings to watch back-- i go to laundry, i am fair game.ther eis no insurance for me to apply for--i cant afford that stuf fon my low income.. is difficult to lock a boat and the kat doesnt bite, unfortunately, but will let me know who did it, in his behaviors. i am brane broke on this mess... i keep finding my needed stuff for repairs...alll gone...
this isnt fun--- will take a long time to replace this loss on my income and my barter goods are gone. isnt looking like a fun recovery. reynauds suxx in this stress-- i need to warm-- back to naptime for a while--cant wake up well enough to get this done -coffee only goes so far.
i am really a bad asker- i appreciate all the offers and any help .. thankyou guys, your support means a lot to me.

ever since i bought this boat in 2008, june, i have been scrimping and finding things i can use to finish this boats refit-- i had perko navlites-- they are the same as the ones they have now called 41s,
i had found a garmin 498 with the chips
i had found 2 garmin handheld gps units
tub ofchain!! yipes-- 200 ft of bbb 5/16
older ssb unit-i think was a kenwood
maceratorpump
myhaulout stuff-- envelope of money(few hundred dollars) , parts for the job--i had all but the bronze tube!!
electric fuel pump i bought for the priming of my perkins
i had some wiring to do , so my 2 spools of wire were out -- not anymore... sheesh..a gurl cant even fix her stuff anymore.. this is wak. and thy messed up my electrical panel-- undid some wiring-- these boats are bad enough in the wiring department without help!
2 signalling strobes for pfd's
2 harness type inflatable pfds
2 older sets of foulies-- off brand with a lining for warmth--i fergit where i even found them--some thrift store, i htink...bubby's new critters inflatables his "gramma"(my mom) gave him
they even took the handytalkies i had from a friend....to see if they did work for crew needs...
2 standard horizon submersible vhf hand held
box of stereo speakers i got at a marine swapmeet--was a pair. and a jvc car stereo with 6 cd cartridge-i was tired of listening to not much good music!!
my favorite bedside gaff--was a tiny one i kept next to my bed for personal protection --but no one shows up inthe dark--only in daylight when no one sees anything....ihad just emptiedout most of my storage and brought the boat stuff to the boat --mebbe a day before this-
this is really weird, as each project i was doing has bits missing i needed for the next step..gggrrrr.....
did i say my signalling strobes formy pfds and my pfds and even bubba"s pfd!!!! eeps.....these guys did a great job of shopping my boat. this is flustrating as hell.

uhoh did bubba take over my netbook?????
Zee, I just recently purchased a strobe for one of our PDFs and can offer that, and we have a Gimbal Lamp that we replaced, have the old one still and though it is not gorgeous it worked for a long time... you are welcome to that too. Will work through Phil for the rest.. let me know about these two items ok? Keep spirits high, with that much stolen, they will get caught, it just might take time. Chin up!:cry:
ok ccoool--heat shrink tubing--check--is on list. craigslist-- hhmmm--i know there are some boats passing thru doing repairs also--and th echula vista swapmeet in april.... should be interesting to see who has the invertor for the manual i still have.... hhmmmm.... bubba is a goood boy and keeps telling me where i need to look. is very accurate--he sniffs, looks at me and sniffs and gets me to look where the bin used to be. then someone sails by and he lets me know ..... is a gooood smart kat.
Zee, This is my first post, but I've been following for over a year and throughly enjoy your posts. I'm very sorry about your ro bbery, I had my truck broken into a couple of weeks ago and they got my cell phone and camera bag with about $5k of lenses and camera. The police caught them, then came the real kick in the gut, it was my 19 year old granddaughter and her boy friend.
We need to get you on your way to warm water, i will do everything I can to help.
If I can get a ship to address for you, I'll send you 2 Standard HX370S VHF Handhelds. I also have a Jensen Stereo but it just has casset, no disc, a pair of box speakers, I'll have to check what I have in marine wire that you could use it is yours.
KEEP THE DREAM GIRL!
Fred

Somebody must have been watching you and your boat for a while. You ferried all of your goodies to the boat and left and they said the store is open let's go shopping. Probably the most disheartening thing that can happen without a physical attack.
Zee (aka Karen) Some how hag just doesn't seem appropriate to a lady as nice as you. LOL
I love your spirit and have always enjoyed your posts. You have responded to my cries for help in the past and I just feel awful that this happened to you. My house was broken into 4 years ago and totally tossed and everything they could carry of any value (including irreplacable things that were special only to me and my wife) was taken. Never found out who or why and police were useless. Somewhere down the road I came to accept that they were in much worse state of life than I was and I started to truly feel sorry for them. If they had to stoop to that level they must be really sick and messed up. Doesn't make it any easier at the time....... I know.
I really dont have that much in the way of equipment to offer you and my knowledge is about as thin as a razor blade so all I can do is give you some encouragement. I know that you will get through this and I cant wait to read about your adventures in warmer waters. Your good nature and laughter is an inspiration to me. Dont loose faith 'cause in stormy waters sometimes that is all we have left. No one can steal that from you................ ever!!!!!
Ps Give Bubba a scratch behind the ears for me. He sounds like my type of cat.
