Yeah, it was all over the map up here... but we were glad to be at least a bit further south. Would have been nice to be back near FLL but crew...
FWIW, Annapolis seemed generally colder than that, last winter. We wintered in Charleston, and temps were typically 10-20F higher than Annapolis....
We met folks last year at Tidewater in Portsmouth who had been there all winter. The few days we stayed there it seemed like a very nice place,...
Several owners in our group have said the Dometic Vector Turbo (or whatever it's current name is) is the greatest self-contained unit since sliced...
Peter Hartoft for hull. Can't speak to Volvos... -Chris
Got it, thanks. Just from reading, I thought all batteries in the series were supposed to age identically when wired that way. Thought it's...
Our two main battery banks are similarly configured... but we're 12V... What do you mean by "top" battery? Haven't heard that term before......
Nice! Good luck with the work! -Chris
I guess this is probably too late to be useful... but FWIW I'd guess that 42 Bertram weighs in the neighborhood of 10K lbs more than our 28K-lbs...
But the folks are friendly, and the fried chicken is pretty good. :) Docks are in good shape. The place is clean. Makes a decent staging point...
If no one else answers... You can do a little inspection yourself. First would be locating your vent opening on the hull, often near (or at...
Zen, have no way to judge whether a convertible could fit your requirements, but some random thoughts: The noise factor you experienced may have...
:) And remember there's a BS coming up in Annapolis in early October... so not a lot of un-spoken-for docking space available during that. :)...
We're small enough we can often get a slip on the public dock... but AYB is our go-to hot spare when necessary so we stay there occasionally....
If "DC/MD" includes Annapolis, Annapolis Yacht Basin is an option. -Chris
This is likely the feature that starts bringing boat sizes (hence, weights) up and speeds down. Unless you mean something like the "aft" (mid)...
You could look at Carver, Sea Ray, Cruisers, Maxum, Silverton, etc. aft-cabin "motor yacht" models, and maybe some of those brands plus Bayliner...
Oh, yeah.... I forgot about that... There's really only one active marina there now, on the east side of the ICW. Pleasant enough place to stay...
Don't see where you'd need much choice. Hatteras to ICW via Croatan Sound and across the Albemarle, ICW to Norfolk-Portsmouth, then to the...
It is indeed often the case that fuel is not the major annual budget item. Berthing and insurance are other larger -- somewhat predictable from...
