He says 'The life I love is making music with my friends.' I thought he said 'The *wife* if love is making music with my friends.' And I was like wow, he really does like being on the road so much, he doesn't care that his lady is fooling around. Also one of my own misunderstandings- from ‘On the Road Again’ by Willie Nelson.

Our new Lewmar H3 windlass is 1000 Watts and we have a 35' run (or 70' round trip) which meant we needed 2AWG wire. If it had been just a little shorter we could have used 4AWG wire. I always use the West Marine wire sizing guide for sizing wire: http://www.westmarine.com/pdf/MarineWire.pdf We went with the Ancor tinned wire which we bought from http://www.wholesalemarine.com/ . Regular wire would probably work fine too if you tin the ends with solder and then seal the lug really well. Hi Dan, Good to hear from you!

Sounds like things are going well for you down there. I had a question on your windlass wiring, what size and type of wire are you using? I was thinking of using tinned wire but Royce said he wouldn't and just seal it up good. I have found 1 gauge welding wire for about $2/foot vs. $3 for tinned. As a reference, my windlass motor is 1200 Watts and I have about a 35' - 40' run, times two. Thanks and safe travels Hey Guys,

The funny thing is, I remember some of those swirls in the wood grain. And the first time I stripped the caprail I burned it near the bow. I also melted the gelcoat near the old location of the CF numbers. Excuse me while I eat this pie... and then someone told me it doesn't go... "Hot Dog! I say Kool-Aid Man" I am glad to hear that she is back in the water. Have some fun! I enjoyed looking at those pictures of the cetol coming off.
