I'll set it for 80 feet every night. That way, even if we swing on the hook as the wind shifts it will wake me and I can check to see how the neighbors look. <br /><br />When the wind is supposed to really crank we try our best to anchor upwind of anyone else in the anchorage. Its the other guy I worry about.<br /><br />With limited fetch, 30 knots is nothing to lose sleep over.S/V Verandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738948023678971536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544524550978029601.post-43308969120856736982010-04-21T22:36:38.193-04:002010-04-21T22:36:38.193-04:00New Question:

He told me not to bother with any more repairs as my unit was pretty much toast.<br /><br />His repair lasted for a few weeks like he said it would and I ripped the whole thing out and replaced it while we were in Washington, DC.<br /><br />His number was 252 675 1244. He was in the Oriental area and showed up on his way home from work on the day I called so we didn't lose everything in the fridge.S/V Verandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738948023678971536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544524550978029601.post-89406967766665246732010-04-20T15:41:10.174-04:002010-04-20T15:41:10.174-04:00I was reading another blog and they need a refrigi...I was reading another blog and they need a refrigiration repairman when they get in Oriental NC next week.<br /><br />As I recall you were having problems with your frig a while back.<br /><br />Do you know of anyone?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906712414624031640noreply@blogger.com
