PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Wondering if any other PDQ's are planning on being in the Abacos this summer? ATTITUDE is planning on being in Guana Cay for The Barefoot Man concert at Nippers on July 31st. Although The Barefoot Man is the main attraction, THE GREAT ZAMBINI, master magician will also be there. THE GREAT ZAMBINI is...

"... at the electronic repair shops recommendation, we disconnect the radio antenna when not need and during thunderstorms."

I believe this to be very good advise.

Best to all.

The following is very informative. It is from the University of Florida. http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d000001-d0 ... 00007.html

I have read that catamarans have a greater propensity for getting zapped. ATTITUDE (Capella) had what I believe was a near lightening strike. Fried the power transformer in the VHF radio. Took out the anenometer, battery charger, antenna tuner as well as several of the yellow indicator lights on the...

If you are thinking of crewing with Dr. Ellis, I suggest you read Two Years Before The Mast. It will give you an understanding of what you are in for!

How much does the job pay?


Your humble servant,

Phil: First, I apologize for using Mac Sail and Mac Pack. It is, as you have written, Mack Sail. Duh! I've been at the store at least a dozen + times over the last 5 years. They are only a couple three (Maine saying) down the road from me. Rather than my trying to explain the "bag/cover", ...

Love our Mac Pack! No separate sail cover to deal with. One less hassle One less reason not to hoist the sail. Great company to deal with. They know sails and sailing.

The City of Stuart has leased the city marina to Wayne Huizenga & Co. Huizenga is building a mix of docks, retail, condos and whatever can make some $'s. The concern is what will the cost be to dock or moor. A good place to anchor (good holding) is in the North Fork of the St. Lucie river. Acros...

LED's seems to meet two of your requirements - low draw and better lighting. Perhaps some web surfing and you will find LED's in your price range.

ATTITUDE will be leaving for the Bahama's around July 1. Will be spending all of July cruising. Final destination Guana Cay. Barefoot Man Free Concert on July 27th at Nippers. If you party hardy this is the place to be! Wondering if any other PDQ's will be around?
