This boat belongs to one of my neighbors. It is not sailing but it is a very cool little 26' tug. I could totally see doing the great loop in something like this.
Me too! I looked on Amazon for "speaking osprey for dummies" but could not find it.I, for one, want to know what fuss was being made.

This is a G rated siteI came across a bit of "albatross erotica" today on my mountain bike ride. Here's a shot of "the bill dance". Screen grab from the video. I will post the video on Wednesday.

Is that to say this is a Girl friendly site or that it is not for “The Birds”.This is a G rated site
Yeah..I played around with it earlier this week after adding a sticker to each side on one of the vanes (I have a spare light air vane) and the difference could not be noticed. The stickers are very light weight and I used a soft, flat edged squeegy tool to apply them so it follows the contours on the vane.Phil, just a point of interest.
I see you have dressed up your Monitor Vane. I wonder have you tested the vane with the added weight on the vane. I have read reports that say modifications to a vane can affect the sensitivity of the vane to maintain a steady course.
If you need to make any changes better to do them in port than on the open waters.
Those islands are so small when you view them from 3000nm.
Just ordered a Garmin InReach Mini 2 today. I will post the link to our tracker website once I have it. I was going to get a satellite phone as well, but my boss is making me bring two company provided satellite phones. I hope he's not expecting me to workI’ll be following your progress to Hawaii as you post.
You could name it Landho CalrissianI have a Monitor Windvane in the Garage to install.
Great picture of a classic design. I instantly thought of the lyric from the old song "Monster Mash".... "Igor you impetuous boy!"September 15, 2020 to April 13, 2022 that's how long my boat has been on the hard. Today was splash day. The mast is still off because the riggers want the boat to relax from being on jack stands for so long. I agree because there is one locker I couldn't open while we were on the hard.
