Yes, that's laudable, but he also doesn't appear to completely have
his sh*t together either.

Fixing things with what you have on hand and dealing with the
unexpected are all part of international cruising, sometimes a big
part. The big mega yacht cruisers are maintained to a very high
degree of reliability but they generally have an engineer in the crew
and a big supply of spares on hand to keep things working.

Since we bought the trawler 7 years ago I've learned enough new
skills, and acquired the tools, to be a junior tradesman in 3 or 4
different fields.

Spending most of one's time on a boat fixing what lack of proper
maintenance caused is fun for some people, I guess. If you are retired
and therefore your time isn't valuable, wasting a lot of it trying to
get a generator, engine, refrigeration unit, transmission, et cetera,
working may be part of "international cruising," as you say, and which
means I'd never enjoy being an "international cruiser."

Whatever floats your boat.

Who gives a **** what YOU would or would not enjoy? Go back to your own
fantastic group.

Why does plum seem to think that putting the canister in water affects
its release of gas? *10' of water is only 5.2 psi diff. *Yes, a cloud
of gas will rise above the water. *Most sailboats, mine included have
cockpit drains close to the water thru which gas can rise meaning a
rise of only about 3' to get in the boat. *Plum seems to have *a basic
misunderstanding of the simplest physical concepts.

She is just trolling you... you are giving her what she wants,
attention... We all get it, and so does she...

Tosk:

I agree, yer right, subject closed.

Yep... another coward who can't even justify his own post. Feel free
to run and hide.

Try to justify to what? You? It doesn't matter what the hell you say,
it's only to get an argument... You obviously don't understand most of
what you are talking about but it doesn't matter as long as you can
throw out an insult and get someone, anyone, to fight about it... Most
here have your number, time to move along...
