Thanks!

All, I have four older Wema senders and gauges on my Taswell 49, everything is working except for one sender. It could still be some wiring which I will track down when I get back to the boat, but in the meantime I asked KUS (who bought out I Wema, at least I thought) to quote me a spare...

Longy, Thanks for the reply, and the Alt stuff makes sense to me now, and yes, the stock Alt needs an upgrade.  My diagram is still a "work in progress", and yes, I missed a connection from the larger Blue Sea switch to the "DC Buss", the DC Buss is just an extension of the "Sub Buss" on top -...

All, We purchased our new to us Taswell in December and have been trying to learn all the systems.  After our last excursion, we found the batteries to be lacking (currently 10yrs on the AGM 8Ds, and 11yrs on the 4D start battery - so not a huge surprise).  I have spent the better part of two...

All, Our "new to us" Taswell 49, has a 12 year old rig, and the professional rig survey noted a handful of little things we are working through, but we are considering doing a re-wire of the boat ourselves (I have some quotes for yards to do it, but I could buy a small house for that).  I have...

Thanks for the confirmation, that lines up with our schedule pretty well.  Let's see how the survey falls, and then this will get real, real fast. OK, one last question...   I know there are flights going in/out of Canada, are the guest docks in Vic or Sidney open year round?  Right now many...

OK, finally got a free moment to look this up, and while it is really tempting...   How the hell do I get there from anywhere?  I do like a good cinna bun tho...

DDW, thanks for the response.  It explains exactly what I was wondering/expecting.  While I am not trying to dodge the taxes, I would love to use the $25k for something like new electronics.  We did plan on sailing it in the PNW before we sail south, the big question is do we try to move it...

All, Thanks for the additional suggestions.  Swiftsure has agreed to work with us, but they aren't really set up for us to "visit", but they are the back up. Bellingham has guest availability til Mar 31 for now, which isn't perfect but might work in the short term, then maybe to Astoria. I...

OK, I read the Wiki for both.  That is classic.  Leave drawing straight lines to politicians, and poof, instant crazy. But Benjamin Franklin should have known better...

For those that care, quick update. Elliott Bay took my info and will let me know, but they think they could shuffle me around and make it work until April (not the cheapest place) Sidney - Super nice on the phone, but full for both annual and temp Bremerton - Two year waiting list for that...

I was not assigned to the negotiating team, but I would think a combo of Canucks tickets, poutine, and Molson would do the trick...

Thanks Zonker The marina in Sidney looks awesome, though the website says full with waitlist, but I will send a note anyway.  As for the Point Roberts thing, that looks a bit tougher to get to (and who drew the line there?) Dave

I will give those two a try.  I had discounted the Elliott bay option given its proximity to the city, and I like the Cap Sante idea if they have space.

Thanks.  But once we make the jump south we will probably just go straight to Morro Bay (or Avila), we just wanted to delay the jump until after the winter, so really looking for a place in the PNW.

All, Looking for advice on where to start my search for an available slip for a Taswell 49.  We are under contract for the boat over at Swiftsure, and if everything checks out will be looking for a semi-permanent slip for the winter.  We will be sailing the boat down to SoCal in the spring once...
