Carolinas’ Feet 2007 Events With fun, food, and much fan fare, the Carolinas' Fleet Winter Meeting resulted in the following schedule of events for this year. The goal was to try to plan an activity/event each month, but with weddings and graduations this spring some events were pushed into the nex...

I suggest you use a pure Silicone grease coating. I use: DOW Corning 111 Silicone Grease. There are many other brands, but the advantage you get is high temp adhesion (so you can use it to lubricate your impeller!) It pays to cover your gaskets (or anything with rubber in it) with lots of Silicone. ...

Carolinas Fleet Southport Trip and Floatplan October 7-14, 2006 Urgent-- We are changing the number of days we will be in Southport, and adding a new stop at Bald Head Island. For now, all boats will continue to the Southport South Harbor Village Marina for the first night. Then, on site, Captains ...

First off, let me say that I grew up in NY. I know what winter is, and guess what, I live in NC. What we call winter here, and in the areas you are interested in, is more about cold days than heavy snows. Yes, we get the once in a ten year snow that covers the roads in the Eastern part of NC. What w...

Ed, I believe that Sea Harbor might be a place (if they have room) where you can live aboard. Live aboards and Oriental are far and few between... There are some at WCYH, but much of that depends on space. There is one logistical issue... most every marina will shut off water to the dock in Jan-Feb....

What has anyone found out about the Town Dock and possible availability for us, in case the YC doesn't work?

I spoke w/Andy and Lou this weekend. A suggestion/question needs to be posted. Due to work issues, Scott, Lou, and I, can not make a long trip (and then do the long trip in Oct.) A few ideas have been suggested: 1. Keep the trip as is? 2. Make the trip a weekend there (Pete/Lou can leave a boat and ...

Ron (and others), I guess when we started thinking about this trip, the feeling was that it fit into our weekend time frame. I can add a day (Friday or Monday), but will that really be enough time? What is your thinking about the actual schedule, as it looks today?? Thanks, Still not retired, Cptn' ...

The State Dock is 1st come 1st Serve. You can call them and double check.?
Pete

Bellus and crew will be there...

Looks like we might have half a dozen boats on this trip. Time will tell for sure, but thus far I know of 5 boats going, with a total of 7 possible. :D Bellus will be there! We are schedule to depart Oriental #1 at 7-ish Friday AM. We will be in our Marina from 7PM on, the night before, loading stor...

I'm passing along a suggestion that I wish I had last year... :oops: (... I tied the first reef point to a second reef point, guess what happened...?) The 1st suggestion is to use two different colored lines; one color for the first reef point and the second color for your second reef point. By intr...
