Cruising Web Sites?

Most serious cruisers have migrated off of newsgroups and onto moderated web based forums. * That is regrettable in my opinion but you can't fight city hall. * That said, let's start a thread here listing some of the better cruising web sites. I'll start with some that I've found: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cruisers_Network_Online/ http://www.cruisersforum.com/ http://cruisersnet.net/ http://www.trawlercrawler.net/ http://ssca.org/cgi-bin/pagegen.pl?pg=home&title=Home (membership required) http://www.noonsite.com/ http://www.mtoa.net/ https://activecaptain.com/ (Interactive Cruising Guide Book - good online charts and local knowledge) A word to the wise: *None of these groups tolerate asshats, personal insults or political discussion. *Don't even think about it. Seeing I'm not a cruiser, but a runabout kinda guy I usually hit up http://forums.iboats.com/forum.php I like to watch the rebuilds and restorations. A lot of useful stuff there. Same way with http://www.thehulltruth.com/ I've attended some other boating forums but they were mostly small communique's between friends as were slow moving. So, those are about the only two that i know of. Anybody got any suggestions on a site dedicated to cruising the Ohio, Cumberland, Mississippi and other various mid-west rivers? I'd appreciate it. I can't do the whole inner coastal, but it would be nice to do the Ohio/ Ky Lake cruise next year. god tips are always appreciated. |

Rocna anchors recall notice (was) Cruising Web Sites?
Hi, all,
Changing the title so this thread doesn't ENTIRELY go off the rails... Rocna put out a recall notice which was complete in its explanation of the shank difficulties alleged/alluded to by another poster here. In my mind, though I'll not be affected by it, they have properly and adequately dealt with the issue. Look it up, if you're concerned. I've resolved any potential concern for myself (and it's not my job to educate you or quash rumors for any concerns or issues you may have) and the batch of mild steel which mistakenly made it into some anchors is no longer an issue - certainly, to me. Thanks for the heads-up. If your Rocna is several years old, you would do well to look up the document and exercise the very generous provisions therein for yourself.

NOT GUILTY!!!

I'm going to get a transcript from the clerk of the court and plan to post it soon. The FWC came to court and said they had charged me under the wrong paragraph. Instead of paragraph (1) they wanted to change it to paragraph (2) the one that gives the requirements for a houseboat. The judge asked me if I'd like a continuance. I said I was prepared to defend against paragraph (2) charges. I finally convinced the court that my vessel did not meet the statutory definition of houseboat {paragraph (2)} after considerable wrangling. The judge was obviously on the side of the state as he even had somebody bring him a dictionary so he could look up the word, "preclusion". Then he tried to construe the meaning of "transportation" as something more complicated than just going out for a day sail or a week-end sail. Then they had the nerve to go back to paragraph (1) even though the officer said he had listed it wrong on the statute and meant paragraph (2). The long and short of it was that I provided enough evidence that the judge was forced to come back with a not guilty verdict. He even had the nerve to say something along the lines of, "Officer________, I don't like it and I'm sure you don't like it but Mr. Hubbard is in compliance with the statutes." Then he had the nerve to suggest that perhaps the FWC should work on getting paragraph (2) changed to eliminate the second clause that talks about preclusionary use. IOW the FWC wants to define a houseboat as any vessel on which somebody lives more than 21 days in a month's period. They are going to have little joy with this as federal law defines a vessel and has only allowed Florida to regulate houseboats because the definition of a houseboat is NOT that of a vessel as a houseboat has conditions that preclude it's use as transportation. The FWS and courts are against boaters. It's patently obvious to this sailor. Will be getting a copy of the trial transcript and will post it soon as it might be fascinating to interested boaters.
